This image shows the space within the bridge, Zhang Yin's office. As the quote I extracted from an article highlighted, Zhang Yin space depicts a fusion of sophistication and playfulness. Her office consists of a larger main space with ajoining smaller rooms to emphasise my concept of interdependency.
The meeting space, above and below, is cut into by the elevator from Zhang Yin's office which shatters the stillness of the room as it continuously carries people between the two spaces. This is intentional as it reveals the ever moving nature of these two key figures and their businesses.
The main table is elevated and tiered to portray the social heriarchy that exists in this environment and reveal the importance of discussion and networking between these two major people of power and their employees.
As you progress down the second elevator, the space becomes notably less open. This draws from the article on Ratan Tata which describes him as "shy and reclusive, yet fiercely aggressive". The textures are masculine and harsh to depict his aggression, while the spaces are like a rabbit-warren as one must weave through dark corridors, which alludes to Tata's reclusion.
Tata's office space most definitely becomes a place he could hide away in. The architecture however, remains strong and bold, so as not to take away his undeniable power and influence.
