In dealing with the concept of power the primary issue that is immediately realised is the context of ones power within the world and their surroundings. In the Versace/Zhang project the bridge is then pathway to the central "split" a T-intersection. To the left is Versace's path, to the right Zhang's but at the end of the road is not their office...yet. Once in place their office (attached to the surrounding sphere (see below images in "Asessment 3 skecthup draft")) comes to them. This creates a literal and metaphoric feeling of "the world revolving around them" plus its really cool. if you have ever been to questacon and walked out of the final ramp where the mirrored tube rotates around you, or even stopped next to a truck in your car and felt like you were moving backwards when their vehicle accelerates, you can appreciate the sense of motion whilst stationary that versace and Zhang will feel as the walls and roof (of the sphere) rotate around them.

The third elevator is the link to the meeting place. To get here the two inhabitants meet in the center of the central T and the below elevator takes them to a place that is "on top of the world" using height as a postion of dominance and power. the circular surface itself is the mover.
