Week10 - Unreal Map (office draft)



The idea behind this office space for Zhang Yin is "breaking tradition". The use of traditional construction method with modern material, a metaphor of Zhang breaking the traditional grip of men's hold of power in the corporate world. The reason I have chosen that form for the pillar is to symbolise her transition from rugs to riches and her wish to further expand her company. In one of the articles I read people refers to her as the "Queen of trash" due to the how she made her fortune, she aspirates to be call the "Queen of paper", the glass ceiling opening up the office to the sky expresses that aspiration.
