Jobs Space

The concept of power explored in this space is expansion. Contrary to Zhang Yins space it is expansion though force, the building expands and faces its way through the solid rock until it almost dominates it. Each of the penetrating arms represents the different areas of expansion within Jobs empire, movies, music, mobile phones etc, and at the end of each area is a glass viewing room where Jobs is able to view his expanding empire.

The centre of the building is Jobs' desk where he sits and does his work, it is isloated and remote to symbolise how Jobs has alienated people through his domination. A series of platforms and lifts rise from the floor to allow Jobs to access all areas of his building, and his lift to the meeting space appears as part of the balcony until approached.

The geometry is deliberately rounded to draw reference to a similar aesthetic in Apple technology.
