Spaces Briefs

Dining/ Meeting space





























The Dinning space is what connects the two spaces together, all lifts destinate towards the dinning space. One of the main features of this space, is that it forces/leads the clients to work together. The space is placed in the middle between the spaces and is built symmetrically. the way the lifts come in are also symmetrical A gentle cylinder light effect is places in teh middle of the room to give some light and warmth. and than spots lights a used to shine onto the middle of the space, where the table is to draw all attention. the Ceiling light is also subtracted to focus on the centre


ZHANG YIN




























Zhang Yins spaces uses its entrance facade to overwhelm the people, as it is particularly large. 3 large columns are used to represent and symbolise the structural foundations of this building and power of Yin. however as you approach Yins space, it becomes simpler. Keeping with the rule, nothing too fancy, normal lighting. Big windows, and an open ceiling to convey the open-ness of Zhang Yin. A little power and control over her space is seen throught the heightened platform that her desk is placed on. ( with a dim spot light shinning on it)














RATAN TATA


Ratan Tata's office is basically arranged from 3 symbolical, solid "building blocks". They are arranged like a stair to reinforce the "building block" notion. The form of the stairs also highlights the hierarchy of power in Tata's office, as you can see Tata's desk is places at the top, and his staff and reception is places at the bottom. The reason why he is at the bottom space, is because he does the unthinkable ( studying architecture, and becoming chairman of India's largest conglomerate) The massive office, hangs on to teh bridge with only a single piece attached to the backing of the office. Its like "hanging on by just a thread", highlighting his risk taking characteristics again. the office is also deliberately open as it leaves the office much brighter this way.

i deliberately faced all facades of the offices and the meeting space towards the sunny side, to convey the idea of always looking at the bright side of things. An important quality, when one has so much power...
