Comment on Other's Work

Could not comment on other student's work - Google would not accept my account for some reason However, my comment is to Sarah Najm in our tute group :)

Awesome Space Sarah! Apart from dying every time my character stepped onto your circular planes, off the meeting space, towards Stephen Hawking's space especially; the studios are very well interconnected through the meeting plane. Overall the spaces are very intriguing, spicy-flavoured in coloured lighting and textures with an unexpected feminine touch. Cheers! Svet

EXP3 - POWER - Carlos Slim Article

Carlos Slim is the richest man you've never heard of
An interview with Mexico's Carlos Slim

Chris HawleyMexico City BureauMay. 30, 2007 12:00 AM

The Arizona Republic – News Online Print Edition

...Slim's holdings, in business and beyond, are now so vast that he sometimes loses track of what he owns. Yet, the small boy with the ledger notebook still surfaces from time to time. While speaking in his office, Slim impulsively decides he needs to know the value of his necktie, which was lying on a chair nearby.

He stabs a button on his intercom, reaching his assistant, Silvia Esparragoza.
"Silvia, how much do these ties cost there in Sanborn's?"
"Those ties cost, on average, 481 pesos," she replied.
"About 43 dollars," Slim said, figuring the exchange rate in his head. "Is that with tax?"
"Yes, with tax," she said.
"On sale or not on sale?"
There was silence from the intercom. "Um, I don't remember," Esparragoza said.
Looking disappointed, Slim flips the intercom off. "The tie is from Sanborn's, but the shoes I buy from Saks, which isn't my store," he said.Then he corrects himself."Well, we're partners, but it's not my store," he said, smiling.
In fact, the Slim family is Saks' biggest shareholder, with 17.4 percent of the U.S. company's shares...

EXP3 - POWER - Ratan Tata Article

Ratan Tata, the soft-spoken man of steel

Hindustan Times — January 31, 2007

Ratan Tata showed in the wee hours of Wednesday that grace, composure and nerves of steel can sit easy on the same personality, as he marked an audacious milestone in his career as Tata group chairman by winning over Anglo-Dutch steel maker Corus Group with a bid worth $12.1 billion

...

His grit and determination are best epitomised in what he said in an interview. "I am unfortunately a person, who has often said: You put a gun to my head and pull the trigger or take the gun away, I won't move my head." That is a rare insight into a man who protects his privacy, integrity and patriotism in equal measures.

EXP3 - POWER - Zhang Yin Article

China's 'Queen of Trash' finds riches in waste paper

By David Barboza
Published: January 15, 2007

International Herald Tribune: Business

I remember what a man in the business told me back then," Zhang Yin said. "He said, 'Waste paper is like a forest. Paper recycles itself, generation after generation.'"

Zhang took that memory all the way to the bank. As a result of her entrepreneurship, she is now richer than virtually any other woman anywhere in the world, including Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, and the chief executive of eBay, Meg Whitman. Her personal wealth is estimated at $1.5 billion or more.

…

Most of the world's richest women inherited their wealth: from the Walton sisters of Wal-Mart fame to the daughters of the men who created Mars candy bars, L'Oréal cosmetics and BMW. But not Zhang. She started out from a modest background, the daughter of a military officer. Now she dominates the world's paper trade through her giant companies, one centered in Dongguan, just outside Hong Kong, and the other based in Los Angeles.

"She's a visionary," said Herman Woo, an analyst at BNP Paribas, which helped her large paper company list shares in Hong Kong. "She doesn't mind putting a lot of money in at the beginning, to build the company."

That company, Nine Dragons Paper, is now the biggest paper maker in China. It raised nearly $500 million when it went public in Hong Kong last March...

EXP2-EDGE-Developed UT Environment

Introduction to the two spaces - Stephen Hawking (Prism 9) and Florence Nightingale (Prism 11) - textures indicate differentiation of spaces. The main ramp defies all principles of form and function regularity, as it twists from Prism 9 to the top level of Prism 11, and combines the two spaces with a medium meeting space - displayed by the dark custom texture which may intrigue...


Begin at the boundary, just facing out of Prism 9 space...yet ... is there a boundary? -asks the viewer. A boundary as a threshold of spaces and planes? A universe with seemingly no real condition...


stair to allow access to Prism 11 space for Florence Nightingale. In the background a two-runner, secondary ramp is seen to engage with the upper level space...







Standing on the landing of the secondary ramp, looking upwards - a small-appearing opening is noticed up ahead - this opening leads to the upper level of Prism 11 space, we ascend ...




Now in the upper level space of Prism 11, reveals another angle perception of the distinct space - custom textures. The main ramp is now mostly visible on the right of our line of site.

Stepping onto this ramp, walking down a little way, a small staircase introduces the meeting platform. The little stair itself being an almost insignificant element of transportation downwards, perhaps creating a sense of uncertainty on approach ...



Walking up the last of the main meeting ramp, from this perspective, a glimpse of the spaces beyond into Stephen Hawkings' (Prism 11) space...

Entering Prism 11, turning and stepping onto the second secondary ramp, greeted by the introduction screen once again (screen grab two above). We see that the ramp leads back down to Florence Nightingale's Prism 9 space - and the circulation begins again.

Circulation - appearing to create a universe in its own; Boundary, yet no boundary. Ramps, especially main ramp, defy all odds to achieve an ultimate potential. Projecting spaces without fear, anticipation present in the feeling.

EXP2-EDGE-Electroliquid Aggregation

“The universe is a vast area encompassing both void and mass; however the boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary, therefore believing in apprehension and uncertainty only brings us unnecessary pain. As we are a discontented generation we must learn to not fear this and instead reach for our potential, which will ultimately lead to a satisfaction. We should know that the universe exists as it does, and it can neither be created nor destroyed; however what we do within it, can alter our perception of the world. As the universe just is, so are we just a spirit or essence within it of worthy recognition.”

EXP2-EDGE-UT-Image Capture3&4

The prism drawn was chosen to be on the other side of the threshold (behind the edge) therefore think of the largest mass in the sketch as a part of the view beyond the 'template wall boundary' in the first screen capture. In the second screen capture, the ramp-like and the adjoining horizontal spaces are illustrated. The textures are a draft set-up for the moment, simply to function as a guide for space distinction.

EXP2-EDGE-UT-Image Capture1&2

Think of the spaces as reverse views of what is sketched. The small opening shown in the bottom-left of the sketch, is the opening on the right of the first screen capture.

Client 3 - Stephen Hawking (born 1942)

British theoretical physicist

"We see the universe the way it is because we exist." ¹³⁰

One could say: "The boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary." The universe would be completely self-contained and not affected by anything outside itself. It would neither be created nor destroyed. It would just BE. ¹⁴⁴

Client 2 - Florence Nightingale (1820-1910)

The Lady of the Lamp, was a pioneer of modern nursing, a writer and a noted statistician

"Apprehension, uncertainty, waiting, expectation, fear of surprise, do a patient more harm than any exertion”

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

“Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.”

Client 1 - Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882)

English Naturalist

Darwin's Theory of Evolution is a slow gradual process:

Darwin wrote, "…Natural selection acts only by taking advantage of slight successive variations; she can never take a great and sudden leap, but must advance by short and sure, though slow steps." [1] Thus, Darwin conceded that, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down." [2]
