landscape development

In the pursuit of creating an urban valley, I referenced Ken Yeang and his 'living' buildings. While the urban streetscape can be seen as a plunging canyon, between a row of imposing 

sky-scraping,essentially, concrete pillars, this is not enough to really further my project. So in the name of the theme of power, I have created a somewhat apocalyptic, or perhaps just 

overgrown, morphed cityscape, where the offices of clients Oprah Winfrey and Jonathan Ive will emerge from the rubble and mess below, at a great height, in the new

concept of a city.

the mashup:

The design guru has spilled the beans on the woman responsible for some of the most shocking imagery of our time. Ms. Winfrey says she used to ask God each year for a new virtue, like courage or love. But the sudden veer off course into weirdness territory never before explored achieved the extraordinary build quality and manufacturing precision that is a move that you didn’t expect coming, but hey, no one else was doing it. There's one thing she isn't doing to guide herself: making harmony between the materials. Deal with it: if she wants to pretend she’s an alien, roar in stereo like a freak, the tolerances are extraordinary. You get to see who you were and who you've become, and that understanding, that preoccupation with the materials and processes, is essential to the way we work. You ask for love, you're given the opposite, so you can show that obsession with the physical appearance of its product - a burning safe haven for all that is different.
