Carlos Slim's Office
I built his office's plan similar to Mexico map. This idea represents the power that he has over Mexico. His main office is in Mexico City area that is elevated from the ground. There are various levels in his office. Each level indicates a varied group of companies that he owns. Moreover, the use of light colour is a symbol of Mexico's flag.

Zhang Yin's office
The way directed to her office suggests the concept of power by the using of light and shadow. The space also creates imagination along the way to her main office that is located at the end. It presents her ambition and visionary. The sphere structure represents the idea of recycle in her paper industrial.

The Bridge
The strong structure of the bridge shows the success and power.

The working lunch space
The nature and green environment gives a sense of relaxation.

DINNING TABLE ANIMATION

According to my research, I am interested in the idea no.4 as it approaches to the idea of privacy and it looks firm and powerful. It combines two rings which represent the combination of both clients' ideas. The blue ring presents the hanging table. There are two long benches. Therefore, it is convenient for them to sit or place their stuffs or even take a nap during lunch time.

Dinning Table in UT2004

This shows the working lunch table. It is not totally a table but it can also be seen as a room that gives a sense of privacy. The various shapes of window indicate the various visions that both clients have. I also make the surrounding environment as a garden to make the clients relaxed.

Textures

Textures in UT2004

Carlos Slim 's office
According to his quote, “Technology is going to transform people's lives and society everywhere in the world. My main task is to understand what's going on and try to see where we can fit in.”, my aim is to decorate Carlos's office in modern technological style by using textures that suggest advance and progress. Next to his office is recreational room. The flower texture is used as its wallpaper.

Carlos Slim's Corridor
This texture highlights movement inviting to his office. It also shows the idea of exploration.
The black&white circle is used for bench's texture.

Bridge
This texture is used for the bridge's ground floor. It is Zhang Yin's elevator pathway. I chose this texture because it shows the rotate movement very well. Moreover, it also contrasts with the posts which have constant texture.

Zhang Yin's Office
I used this texture in her office to emphasis her personalities, ambition and visionary.
It can create the movement of idea. It can also be seen as the industrial life style.

CARLOS SLIM'S ELEVATOR

Elevator

From my research, the shape that i think it is the most successful and powerful is cube. Therefore, I decided to construct Carlos's elevator based on the idea no. 1, 3 and 6. I put emphasis on the simple shape which has a sense of strong and stable.

Elevator with pathway

The Elevator in UT2004

Carlos Slim's elevator starts from the top of lighthouse which is connected to his office.

The elevator goes down from the top of the lighthouse to the bottom. The bottom of the lighthouse is connected to open ceiling pathway. The open ceiling pathway also represents his personality, philanthropist.


The long pathway suggests the continual success of Carlos Slim.

ZHANG YIN'S ELEVATOR

Elevator

The elevator's skin is like jigsaw. It symbolises Zhang Yin's life which is not totally perfect. There were many difficulties through her life. However, this jigsaw will be completed and she becomes the richest woman of the world.

Elevator&Pathway

The elevator goes from the bottom of the lighthouse to the top and then goes horizontally along the bridge before going to working lunch space. The pathway implys Zhang Yin's life that comes from the modest background family and then becomes the richest woman in the world. At the beginning of her life, she was unknown person. This represents by the close space of the lighthouse pathway.
