Mashup of 3 News Articles
Working with intense pressure and intimidation from the Communist government in China and members of the mafia, she has concocted a new sex-symbol vocabulary with a bracing, modern edge. From being a pioneer in the wireless industry, to producing a music player, she travels light in comparison to generations ago, when ladies changed their clothes several times a day. In the future, Nine Dragons hopes to boost its production to 5.35 million tons a year.

EXP2 UT2004 FINAL
Similar to the previous design, the reaching to the stars is enthusized by the spaceship looking texture and shape. Instead of exposing the skeleton as before, parts of it is hidden, but still there (the ramps inside finally changed to a lift!). There are still ramps, but at the corners that seem to be cut off (as below). The addition of coloured lights adds an outerspace feel to the structure.
The new and improved Goodall building is no longer a maze that is really difficult to see because it is hidden underneath. It is now a big space of its own. This still fits with the idea of harmony with nature, as before the use of a cave already connects with nature. Furthmore, in this design, there are ramps all around, allowing Goodall to work in an open space and free to research. There is also a small room down for more privacy. The blocks represent the ancient monuments that have been built and still stand, and shows how connection with the surroundings is vital for us.

UT2004 ENVIRONMENT
This building 'reaches out to the stars', getting larger as it reaches the sky. The translucent material is for the view of nature and shows the skeleton of the building where the stairs look like the spinal cord, and takes nature into its presence.
The green lights give the feel of nature (trees) as well as an outer space feel. The material added enthusizes this feeling of reaching out for life, the stars, as well as nature.
