Final Real Time Images of UT2004 Environment
The overall constructionAbove -------------------->> Carlos Slim's office
Hanging -------------------->> Working lunch space
Below -------------------->> Zhang Yin's office
Carlos Slim's OfficeI 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 officeThe 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 BridgeThe strong structure of the bridge shows the success and power.
The working lunch spaceThe 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 officeAccording 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 CorridorThis texture highlights movement inviting to his office. It also shows the idea of exploration.
The black&white circle is used for bench's texture.
BridgeThis 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 OfficeI 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.

Ratan Tata - The people's tycoon
Dancewithshadows.com man of the year 2004
[..."His idea is not to make Tata No 1 in size, but No 1 in quality customer satisfaction. And, if his goods and services are not among the Top 3 in that segment, Ratan Tata will either try to bring them to the Top3, or exit that segment. He does not believe in spending time on areas where Tatas dont have core competence."...]
[..."A company does not become global by simply participating in geographic markets around the world. The objective of globalization is to become globally competitive, leverage global opportunities and have the required global capabilities. It implies an organization, which employs talented people without reference to nationality. We are in the process of acquiring such a competitive position and global capabilities."...]

An interview with Mexico's Carlos Slim

[..."By age 12, he had moved on to trading stocks and bonds. Before turning 30, he owned a soft-drink company and a stock brokerage. Now, at 67, Slim is the world's second-richest man and is closing quickly on Bill Gates, according to Forbes magazine's most recent rankings. Slim's business empire stretches from Mexico to the United States - it includes major stakes in companies such as CompUSA and Saks Fifth Avenue - yet most Americans have never heard of him."...]
[..."It was the elder Slim who forced Carlos and his siblings to keep ledgers of their allowances and expenses. "Carlos: remember that all assignments given to you must be done on time, quickly, in much clearer letters and without erasures. If not, I'm going to deduct from your allowance," says a note in one of the ledgers, which Slim still keeps on his office bookshelf."...]
[..."Slim's own companies employ 218,000 people. Ensuring that those companies are strong may be his most important contribution to Mexico, he says. "When I die, I'm taking nothing with me," Slim said. He taps a balance sheet that shows the increasing value of his companies. "Everything I'm leaving is right here."...]

THE IMAGE CAPTURES

"Intelligence is the way of independently thinking over all reasons"
Charles Darwin
(in front of the vertical surface)
"The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason"
Stephen Hawking
(behind the vertical surface)
"Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change"
The overall spacesEach space has different colour lights which represent an independence of each space.
Darwin's laboratory ---> Red light
Hawking's laboratory ---> Green light
Meeting space ---> Blue light
Darwin's laboratory(in front of the vertical surface)
Darwin's laboratory moves toward the centre point which is the meeting space. It connects the idea of Darwin leading to the meeting space in order to exchange his idea with Hawking.
The RampThe ramp is connected between Darwin's laboratory, the meeting space and Hawking's laboratory. It is made from wire to give the feeling of outer atmosphere. The ramp is transparent for the purpose of transparent view which creates independently thinking.
The Meeting Space(bird's eye view)
The meeting space is similar to a lighthouse. This image captured shows the steps downward to the meeting space . It presents freedom and independence of idea.
The Hawking's laboratory 1(behind the vertical surface)
The hawking's laboratory has two different spaces, above the ground and below the ground. The image shows the above ground floor, a side of the laboratory. It captures the broad space and narrow pathway. There is a ramp between the pathway which brings the client to the meeting space.
The Hawking's laboratory 2(behind the vertical surface)
The image shows the below ground floor from bottom to top direction. It captures the whole sense of space in deep dimensions.
