Final draft environment

This is Donatella Versace's workplace and has a strong sense of mytique and power in it.




This is the meeting place

Final Environment


This is the working space of Zhang Yinand i had orginally thought of the transformers cube when i was designing her workspace where the cube kind of folds into herself

This is Zhang yin's office. The little cubes represent the way that her life is wrapped around where sometimes the cubes are organised and sometimes the cubes are all over the place which means that she has to work hard to get what she wants to achieve.

Mashup of Three News Articles

Mao loved to quote; women hold up half the sky. Last week it was reported that China's richest billionaire is now a woman. Zhang Yin understands the corrupt and controlling pathology of Chinese communism and has understood the imperative to keep ownership and direction. "We don't think in terms of power. Happy and loyal customers are what give Apple its 'power.' It is also true that Zhang could not have made money among his rivals and dissension in the ranks of partners and business allies who don't like the way he dictates his own terms, and theirs too. " How could I? Everyone was watching me. The comparison was always there. I felt lost, confused. But I had to keep going."

Survival depends upon paying tribute. I still hear Gianni's voice, saying, 'Don't make a mistake', The hardest part was the expectation think about creating new innovative products that will surprise and delight our customers. This remains a one-party state, in which every institution is constructed to sustain its monopoly of power. Entrepreneurs such as Zhang Yin only succeed if they find ways around the system. Job’s has some other telltale trappings of power too exploiting the system's fault lines. "It's a presence that hasn't always been a comfort and I think after all these years we've gotten pretty decent at it." In China the party controls, or has the capacity to control, everything. And this year, at the height of his creative and promotional powers, Jobs the tycoon’s subsequent growth, is stunning.

If there is a superpower, He has that too.

Textures

Five UT images

This picture deals with how a building can harmonize with nature by being embedded in a mountain face, contrasted with the built environment in the foreground.
This deals with the ability of a person to be able to choose their paths when there are so many choices to choose from.

This picture forces the person to choose between three different paths each with different consequences and different outcomes.

Jane Goodall

"My mission is to create a world where people can live in harmony with nature"

Stephen Hawking

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

Electroliquid Aggregation


Throughout time, God has provided different paths for every individual person on Earth each of whom have more than one path to take. It is in their decision that they may either live in harmony with nature and society or choice a different path that may lead them elsewhere in life. One thing is predictable however and it is that no one can foresee what lies ahead of their journey.
