Design Concept

Carlos Slim

Carlos Slim owns the largest telephone company in Mexico and has been regarded as the richest man in the world. He took the money from the society and in return he gives the money to charity to help poor people. In this design the beam represents the society, part of the society has been “token away”.

Zhang Yin

Zhang Yin is the one of the richest women in China. She knows how to handle the relationship with the government and people. She said that it is the Chinese people who gave her opportunity to become rich. The beam here also represents the society. However, different from Carlos Slim, her offices are hanging on the beam. The office is arranged in ascending order which indicates how she started her international companies from almost nothing.

Dinning Area

Meeting space involves the concept of “interactive architecture”. When there is no one in the dinning space the area remains dark. When one of the clients come into the dinning space the window and light inside will be opened automatically. The table which is hidden in the ceiling will come out.
