Donatella Verasace and Zhang Yin are chosen for the design to celebrate the female power.

Bridge: The bridge suspends from the space of Donatella and Zhang. It connects the two women together and also serves as a meeting place for them to champion the female power. A series of arches of varying sizes is placed at angles, which create an interesting and vigorous space. The long and narrow structure of the bridge symbolizes conflicts, politics and struggle involved in power.

Donatella’s Space: The space is designed to be resonant with Donatella’s vibrant character. The hexagon modules forms honeycomb structure that accents with the radiant textures. The large crystal cone suspending from the ceiling of the central hall as if floating is the center of the design. The refraction of lights through the crystal cone gives a glamorous and splendid effect. The use of crystal for the cone structure can show off her prestige but at the same time it signifies the fragileness of power.

Zhang Yin’s Space: A giant triangular prism is employed to represent the hierarchical characteristics of power. Zhang is a ambitious woman with strong urge of power. The space is designed intentionally to be elongated. She can experience the power and pressure in the interior with the tall and leaning walls. The flowing bridge connects the right and left side of the space at the second and third level. The tip of the prism is glazed with transparent glass with sunlight penetrating down to interior. It symbolizes the aura of mighty power from above.
