My headquarters and bridge focus on the way of how each of those cope with the difficult landscape that is different and brings out the idea of power by popularity.

Facebook Headquarter:
The design of Facebook headquarter is based on the abstract imagination that how Facebook try its best to find ways to fit people needs, so as to get respect and popularity from its users.
In my design this is represented by playing tricks with those tunnels.
These tricks played in the tunnels can be imaginedd as the functions provided by Facebook,
in order to achieve popularity.
Tricks:
a.) Getting in and out consecutively
The Facebook office which chooses to engage into the natural environment more
Cocacola Headquarter
Dining table:
Texture used:
The rotation texture is used on the curve surface of the cocacola elevator to enhance the feeling of an irregular curve.
Linear is added to the ground of the cola headquarter to highlight the curve of it's body by showing a contrast
Scalar textrue is applied to the dining table, which highlight the contrast between the facebook and cocacola design notions. The facebook one is more complex whereas the cocacola one tends to achieve the beauty of curve.
The landscape shown here is tropic environment which has river and waterfall.
This is chosen because the concepts from two architects have connection with the natural environment. Bright sunlight is used to bath two models so as to give a warm, fresh environment.
Two monuments:
Conceptual monument for Griffin:
Concepts used to develop this monument:
Use simple, unified forms to reduce the visual business of the building.
Use flat roofs and try to use these roofs.
This monument tried to be as simple and open as it can, to let visitors engage in the environment
From different levels, it connect to different views of the landscape surrounded it, which is very close to it. The roof is used to covers lower levels and serves as a platform to show the landform to visitors.
During circulation of this monument, the stairs lead us to view the environment all around it.
This pic shows the view at the roof.
Also, unified flat platform pierced by structural columns which suits Griffin's housing style in castlecrag can be seen here.
Birds flying through the monument to bring the whole space alive. Trees are located everywhere when people circulates the whole monument.
The monument tries to fit the natural environment without interruption. Trees can still even grow next to the main supportin column of it.
Light is widely used to both models. In this one, the reflection on the surface of t he entrance stair attract you to get onto different platforms of the monument.
Conceptual monument for Ando Tadao:
Concepts used to develop this monument:
1. use of simple rectangular shape for construction.
2. play a trick on the light effect.
Use of sunlight play an important role in this monument. This idea is inspired by the drafting monument down below, the spread of light really catches my eye.
Light is exposed from the opening, attracts people to have a look at the outside envoronment.
Light exposed from the opening on the top forms a pattern on the ground that leads us to the exit and the window.
This monument looks like a simple box but actually that's not.
Firstly, from an open space, it transfers you into a dark closed place, which you can't see anything.
Therefore people will focus on only light within the box, hence the window and the pattern on the ground.
Then the box leads us to outside with open landscape.
Textures used:
Dark
Medium
Light
Textures are applied to both monuments according to several reasons.
It can be seen there is a balance between the platforms and the structural elements. Dark texture is used in the structural element in this monument to promote it's strength, whereas the light texture is applied on the top to give a light, spongy feeling to the roof. So a reduce of weight is done by adding the texture.
Dark texture is applied to inside of Ando's monument so as to provide a dark space to let people focus on the light effect on the floor and the window.
