Quote from Article: ""


Second Client: Zhang Yin
Link to Article: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2006-10/13/content_707587.htm

Quote from Article: "Zhang, the 49-year-old founder and chairwoman of the paper company, was reported to be the mainland's richest person with a fortune of 27 billion yuan (3.4 billion U.S. dollars).

"Zhang Yin's personal assets must have increased by 1.1 billion yuan," Thursday's Xinmin Evening News quoted a company official as saying.

Zhang is believed to be the wealthiest self-made woman in the world. According to Rupert Hoogewerf, who set up the Huran Report in 1999 which lists wealthy people in China. She is richer than the U.S. television host Oprah Winfrey and author of the Harry Potter series JK Rowling."


Third Client: Carlos Slim Helu
Link to Article: http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1642286,00.html

Quote from Article: "Carlos Slim isn't just Mexico's richest man — he possesses an astronomical 8% of the country's GDP. So it's not surprising that Eduardo Garcia, one of Mexico's most respected business journalists and the editor-founder of the online financial publication Sentido Comun (Common Sense), last year started a quarterly feature called Slim Watch. It tracks the telecom baron's swelling fortune as well as his companies' alleged monopolistic practices. And this month Slim Watch claims to make it official: Slim, 67, has now passed Microsoft founder Bill Gates as the world's richest man."

Exp 2: Final Submission


This is the two spaces in ULEd view. This demonstrates ElectroLiquid Aggregation as it blends 2 ideas of replacement and fear forming a link between the two.

This space was inspired by Nightingale's quote mainly on the idea of fear and what it leads to.

Front view of the space inspired by Nightingale's quote.

Space inspired by Darwin's quote. The space is quite hollow to emphasis elimination before change. Layers are the accumulation of changes/replacements.
