Zhang Yin's Space

View of Office









This design was inspired by origami. It is resting upon the common space to resemble Zhang's reliance on other to build her empire. The structure seems to have a slight bow. This expresses the oriental humbleness and politeness.

This depicts chinese lanterns. These box ornaments are indicative or Chinese culture. Red also symbolises China.

View of Walkway to Common Area



This has been kept simple and plain to express Zhang and the simplicity of her business ideas and climb to the top. This goes further to represent the simplicity of her founding materials.

Donatella Versace's Space

The office is projected forward to express Donatella's diva influence and power.

View of Player Start





All walkways in the Versace design are catwalk inspired. The walkways are moving catwalks, lit with loud colours similar to those of the catwalk.

View of Walkway to Common Area







This is also catwalk inspired, with moving catwalk. Versace's designs line the walls, the scale was chosen to express power to the occupant.

The exterior design of this office was inspired by fabric and fabric fibres. Purple was chosen as it is Donatella's favourite colour.

Ideas and Inspirations-Donatella Versace

*The Catwalk*
This is an obvious choice for inspiration for Donatella Versace. The glamour, lights and pace represent Donatella's diva type qualities.




This foyer is dominant and powerful due to its scale and colours. With its glossy and mirrorred finishes this would represent Donatella Versace well.


Ideas and Inspirations-Zhang Yin

Modelling my ideas around paper and oriental paper crafts seemed to be an ideal choice for inspiration.

Origami



Chinese Lanterns



It was due to this that architecture that had paper craft like qualities also became a base to my design for Zhang Yin

The Mash Up

"My desire has always been to be the leader in an industry." She started out from a modest background she is now known for his intense focus on a bracing, modern edge. After a decade in exile She remains an infamously decadent visionary rolling out an expanding family of a vast set of some rather raw salacious looks that any other woman would think over-the-top

In highly competitive world, So much time and work goes into making personal wealth. A rare achievement in a world of fancy and fad has come to stand for everything noble and self-sacrificing. Perhaps more than anyone, She made it clear when to reward and when to punish.

"I'm an honest businesswoman." “I dress in the morning,” she said. “And in the evening, I change into something fantastic.” Having grown disenchanted of all things, beige mundane and recycled she has concocted a new sex-symbol "Actually, I didn't find it difficult," she said. "I found men respected me." Those heels make quite an impression.


She has not lost her ambition, "Some day, I'd like to be known as the queen of the 21st century. So be careful trying to measure the carbon print of a stiletto.
