Carlos Slim's space was designed to reflect the power he has over companies. Particularly, the telecommunications industry, which he seems to have monopolised to become his own empire.

The meeting space is smaller to reflect that no matter how powerful a person is they are still human, & still need to have meals.

Zhang Yin's space reflects my interpretation of her as a highly independent & determined woman. The interlocking planes represent simplicity with initiative.

WHAT I LEARNT ...TIPS/ TRICKS:

2007-10-09T05:00:00.000-07:00

Basically everything we did was new for me, so I learnt a lot but here are some of the most useful:

- ask someone for help when you have no idea what to do - ask classmates, the tutors, lecturers, or literally anyone who looks like they no what they're doing. This is really helpful especially for learning all the new software- you find exactly what you need to know & save heaps of time!
- listen to what the tutors mention in class, even if it doen't apply directly to your own work at the time...it probably will at some stage.
-Something I found really handy using Unreal:when you want to copy multiple objects or replicate a set of the same objects quickly - hold down the 'CTRL' button and left click the objects you want. This allows you to select & deselect exacly what you need. From there you can copy & paste as you wish...but remember to rebuild all geometries at the end.

RATAN TATA

2007-09-11T03:51:00.001-07:00

India's Tata Steel has won the battle to take over the Anglo-Dutch steelmaker Corus by making a £5.75bn ($11.3bn) bid.

"Tata chairman Ratan Tata is not among the Forbes' list of 40 richest Indians around the world.

His sprawling business empire is no longer the largest among privately-owned Indian groups.

He's not even considered the most powerful businessman in India.

More importantly, there's still a lack of clarity about who'll be his successor after his planned retirement in 2012.

But he's one of the most respected corporate chieftains in India.

And when London-based steelmaker Corus agreed to his takeover bid in October, he had arrived on the global arena.

Aggressive and ambitious

That's a short snapshot of Ratan Tata, 69, who controls the $22bn Tata group, which includes 96 companies manufacturing a range of products from automobiles to watches, steel to fertilisers.

The takeover - the largest by any Indian company - marks yet another transformation in the corporate image of Ratan Tata during his 15 years' stint as the group chairman.

Today, the smooth, suave, and introvert Ratan is being seen as an aggressive and ambitious businessman, whose strategic vision has shifted from local to global."

ZHANG YIN

China's 'Queen of Trash' finds riches in waste paper

"Late last year, Forbes magazine named Zhang the wealthiest woman in China. She may even be the richest self-made woman in the world, challenging a handful of others, like Giuliana Benetton, who started the Italian clothing company with her brothers, and Rosalia Mera, who co-founded Zara, the Spanish clothing retailer, with her former husband.

Most of the world's richest women inherited their wealth: from the Walton sisters of Wal-Mart fame to the daughters of the men who created Mars candy bars, L'Oréal cosmetics and BMW. ...

...No other U.S. company sends so much material to China, in as many containers, as America Chung Nam, which was named the top U.S. exporter to China by volume for the fifth consecutive year in 2005, according to Piers Global Intelligence, which tracks import and export data.

Now, with the paper industry shifting to China, where labor and land are cheaper, Zhang and Nine Dragons are vowing to take on the world's global paper giants, like International Paper, Weyerhauser and Smurfit Stone.

"My goal is to make Nine Dragons, in three to five years, the leader in containerboards," Zhang said emphatically during a short interview in her Hong Kong office. "My desire has always been to be the leader in an industry." "

CARLOS SLIM

2007-09-11T02:45:00.000-07:00

The Secrets of the World's Richest Man

"Carlos Slim is Mexico's Mr. Monopoly.

It's hard to spend a day in Mexico and not put money in his pocket. The 67-year-old tycoon controls more than 200 companies -- he says he's "lost count" -- in telecommunications, cigarettes, construction, mining, bicycles, soft-drinks, airlines, hotels, railways, banking and printing. In all, his companies account for more than a third of the total value of Mexico's leading stock market index, while his fortune represents 7% of the country's annual economic output. (At his height, John D. Rockefeller's wealth was equal to 2.5% of U.S. gross domestic product.)

As one Mexico City eatery jokes on its menu: "This restaurant is the only place in Mexico not owned by Carlos Slim."

Mr. Slim's fortune has grown faster than any in the world during the past two years, rising by more than $20 billion to about $60 billion currently. While the market value of his stake in publicly traded companies could decline at any time, at the moment he is probably wealthier than Bill Gates, whom Forbes magazine estimated at $56 billion last March. This would mark the first time that a person from the developing world held the top spot since Forbes started tracking the wealthy outside the U.S. in the 1990s."
