Carlos Slim's power

http://money.cnn.com/2007/08/03/news/international/carlosslim.fortune/
"But with his dominant stakes in everything from phones to finance, his business profile more closely resembles that of John D. Rockefeller, who likewise thrived in a loosely regulated environment...George W. Grayson, a professor of government at the College of William & Mary, coined the term "Slimlandia" to describe how entrenched the Slim family's companies are in the daily life of Mexicans."

Zhang Yin's power

"The Big Momma in question is Zhang Yin, a 49-year-old paper recycler who has just emerged not only as the richest entrepreneur in China, but also as the wealthiest self-made woman in the world. According to the Hurun Report rich list, Zhang, despite being almost unknown in the wider world, has suddenly arrived at the top of the list with a net worth of $3.4bn.
Zhang, who continues to hold a 72% stake, had some powerful champions who helped put her on the map, notes the FT. Three of Asia’s most influential businessmen, Cheng Yu-tung, Robert Kuok and Lee Shau-kee, snapped up some $20m worth of shares, leading to a stampede of interest in Nine Dragons: the shares have since rocketed by 165%."

Ratan Tata's power

http://www.suchetadalal.com/articles/display/1/401.article
In 1939 when J R D Tata took over as chairman of Tata Sons, he went out of his way to woo the most towering and individualistic of personalities to be his directors and also encouraged entrepreneurship from within. His team included John Matthai, A D Shroff, Sir Homi Mody, Sir Ardeshir Dalal, Booky Kooka, Sumant Moolgaokar, Russi Mody, Ajit Kerkar, Nani Palkhivala and Darbari Seth. My research for a biography of A D Shroff, reveals that strong personalities also meant frequent clashes, but J R D managed them all and made the business empire stronger, more dynamic and extremely lively.
Ratan Tata has spent most of his time gaining control over the group by getting rid of the formidable satraps who helped create and build the business empire. The manner in which some of his most dynamic people were forced out has done nothing to enhance the image of what J R D Tata called The Firm. What is worse is that they have not been replaced by equally dynamic and bold professionals.

Hawking's space

The blocks branching out of the main space and the movement in the texture resemble the spreading action of a virus, while the different directions of the blocks make them appear like destructive weapons.

Darwin's space

The overwhelming and huge ‘pyramid’ shape with the icy blue and ‘empty, full of white space’, textures lend a cold and empty feel to the space.


The meeting space combines coldness and destruction through the use of glass and the ‘stabbing’ poles coming inside the space from either side.

The blocks have an alluring atmosphere with openings that lead to death and destruction. The blocks’ walls and the main ceiling are assembled of a number of small blocks resembling the multiplication of a fatal virus.

"To choose to be cold and have the emotions of a stone results in a multiplying and spreading virus that destructs one's life and the lives of others"
