Mashup of 3 News Articles

He might have been just 21 years old when he founded the company, but under the low-profile mother of two, Apple grew to become a leader on the list of the world's richest people. In fact, Forbes ranked the owner and founder of Nine Dragons Paper as the wealthiest self-made woman in the world. After the introduction of Apple I, II, the company went public, making Jobs an estimated net worth of more than $3.4 billion, more money than both Oprah Winfrey and "Harry Potter" creator J.K. Rowling. Steve Jobs has looked at over-the-top through the rearview mirror since the mid-1970s, when she began working with her brother Gianni. Jobs businesses are capable of producing 3.3 million tons of paper products and Nine Dragons claims multinational businesses and remains an infamously decadent esprit that years of UV rays and 40-volume peroxide have done little to dampen.

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.

UT2004 Map

EXP2 UT2004 FINAL


There were a few changes that have been made. First of all, I changed the Goodall part and then added new textures and lighting has giving the buildings new shape. The change in the ramp was a little sudden, but it looks better for being able to see through it allows a connection with it surroundings, and can also show how high up and near the stars.




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 carved out building inside is a maze. It is good for studying animals, which Goodall does, and looks like a modern place in the a caveman era and mimics the patterns of worm holes. It allows 'the human race to survive' in a nature bound environment.




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.

THE RAMP



This ramp connects the two buildings together, allowing Hawkings and Goodwell to meet. Both buildings combine nature and the future, and so has two ramps, similar to an input and output in the natural cycle.
