POWER ARTICLES

Zhang Yin
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1922797,00.html

"Rather she has exploited the system's fault lines. This remains a one-party state, in which every institution - from the media to its companies - is constructed to sustain its monopoly of power."

Carlos Slim
http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/0530carlosslim0530.html

"He's so rich and powerful and in a country where there are so many poor."

Ratan Tata
http://www.rediff.com/money/2005/jul/26tata.htm

""We have a solid middle class that gives us longevity and staying power. Everybody is being challenged."

POWER ELEVATOR AND TABLE

The elevators was created to meld itself into the whole form of the building.

The table was a symbol of a combination of Ratan Tata's building and Zhang Yin's building, at the same time symbolic in its shape, the dark nature of the table was created due to the fact that they were serious people that were all about buisness, the light and clear glass floor was there to level the two people, to exemplify the fact that no matter how they obtained their power, when it comes to the fear of death, it becomes the balancer of all humans, the descent to mortality and dreadful realisation brings a dreaded truth to the two clients and allows the thought that money is not everything, creeps into their minds.

POWER ELEVATORS

The elevator movements are created so that it gives only a quick glimpse of the architecture, knowing most chinese and indian people, they are all about efficiency and speed, that is why, as to not hinder their prospects, they are given quick elevators that show quick and slick movements.

POWER IMAGES

My whole concept was to reflect each clients form of power, and through the architecture, create a space where it would reflect their past and their history to the gain to power. For what is power without history of its origin, if we forget what was in the past, how can we move forward? It is with the acceptance of the past and situations can one become stronger and more powerful than before.

THE images below was inspired by the previous images, and the articles combined, blended into a perfect mixture for a power architecture, Zhang Yin's recycling paper factor was raised above into the bridge, to magnify her female powers over the current dominant males, the white and bright panels that seem to float ontop and under the bridge relate to her paper factory that brought her to power, the light and wispy nature of her seemingly easy gain to power, is symbolized by the big and open spaces without a hint of depression, the giant elements that make up the building illuminates the fact that she gained power through her own means, the fact that it is carrying Ratan Tata's building further highlights the fact that she's a powerful person.

Ratan Tata's space was created to reflect his gain to power, the multiple millions of blocks represent the amount of smaller elements that created this awesome and powerful structure, without these elements, he wouldn't be powerful. But inside the inspiritational structure lies a cold, solid and lonely place, that reflects his past, where he was an orphan and had no one to help him back then, the dark and solid nature of the building reflects the reality of his past. The fact that its hanging in there, dangling with a strong sense of hope, reflects his strong nature to hang in there and stay at the top of the most powerful people, The clinging in defiance reflects the nature of his power. 

POWERFUL CONCEPTS

These images show where power and inspiration came from, and from these images of power and inspirational, is where the form and idea behind my building grew and mutated into. Power is:

SUDDEN

STRONG

MONUMENTAL

INSPIRATIONAL

MEEK

CONTROL

AMMALGAMATION OF SMALLER STEPS

COMBINATION OF SMALLER ELEMENTS 

DETERMINATION

DEFIANCE

POWER DRAFTS

TEXTURE - GRAPHICS

POWER ELEVATOR SKETCH

I based my elevator on this design, the reason was because i found the intimacy between the two spaces interesting and the admission of the third L-shape, is in harmony with the other two shapes

100 word comment to Bobby Poon

When I first set my eyes on the model , I thought it was a magnificent model that had an awesome pulsating aura that played out its melody throughout the building. The use of repetition was played out very methodically and holds the sense of choice in paths at a very high level. Yet at the same time, the overwhelming feeling of destiny, where the buildings are confined by only a few paths, highlights the ultimate choices in life are not that forgiving nor abundant in choice. The architectural repetition alludes to the fact that all the paths and choices are similar. Yet the piece of architecture is nothing short of Holy, or Religious, with the great contrast of dark and light, and the shock of Hell fire, plays an important role in aiding the mood and feelings of the building, It could be suggesting that all paths in religion lead and discuss about the same thing. Nonetheless the piece of architecture, creates a balance of perfect ambiguity and awe to entangle the observer into curiousity to explore all the paths and hidden spots in the building.

I tried redoing the textures from scratch and re applying them onto the model, but it didnt seem to want to load when I uploaded my file from filefront again, and some of the files didn't work at all, so i deleted the ones that didn't work, there should be one working file that is there now.

Quote and ElectroAggregation

“How very little can be done under the spirit of fear”
Florence Nightingale

“All the evidence shows that God was actually quite a gambler, and the universe is a great casino, where dice are thrown, and roulette wheels spin on every occasion”

Stephen Hawking

ElectroAggregation

When presented with fear, it would catalytically manifest uncertainty, with uncertainty comes doubt. Which way to turn to? Conjured possibilities in your mind are limited, a rush of shivers and colds. The smallest hairs on your neck thrust up. Is there a way out? is there anything thats certain? Should we turn to religion if we are in the presence of fear? Would the Almighty give us a way out of this? We begin to question everything in the SPIRIT of fear. Was God a bit of a GAMBLER? Did God himself make this situation with forceful intent or was it a toss of the dice and let them fall as they may? Did God close his eyes and pushed you in a corner? No. There is the light, it is not God that pushed you within fears harm, it was the Sin in the world that placed fear into our hearts, so soldier on, into the cold, soldier on, into the fiery, soldier on, into the darkness no matter how vast and treacherous the journey may be, for where there is dark, there is always a path to the light. Let not fear overcome the spirit, But with the spirit overwhelm and overtake the fear.

Experiment two space : Final combined space

Experiment two space : fear

Soldier on, in the most fiery of situations, there is always light, let not the spirit of fear over come the soul, for in the darkness there is light.

Experiment two space : gamble

Did God Gamble? Are humans, such a magnificent and grandeur being, created through the spinning of the roulette? If so, did God win? Or lose? Was everything put together a mistake? Or did God win Lotto and we were the result? The answer lies in the spirit of fear. Would the Almighty aid us with the light amongst the darkness if we were his mistake? No.
