Planing Phase

Designing Phase

The cities that dominate and populate countries like Singapore and Malaysia provides a powerful imagery of success and status in the commercial industry.

COCA COLA
Coca Cola building was located in Malaysia. One the most fond memories for me was drinking it constantly in Malaysia during the hot summers as it was near the Equator.

The power of the Coke is the drink itself. For my elevator, I used the droplet concept to represent this power concept.

FACEBOOK
Facebook Office is situated on the side for Singapore. Growing in up in the big cities and seeing at the technologically side o it inspired me to design the building at this location.

The design was more artificial and virtually simulated in the inside. There were some design elements that represent interconnection with Facebook.

The concept of Facebook reminded me of a tree and an addiction. It starts of as an idea and them blossoms into a social networking service.

The power of interconnectivity and entertainment is represented in the connecting rings of the Facebook ship.

These ships/elevators transport people to their destination.

THE BRIDGE
The bridge itself is split into two parts, one for Coke and the other for Facebook.

The bridge for Coca is based on one of the mission stations of its website. That was being productive(which inspired me to create a bridge that was allowed Coke to send it supplies to Singapore) and quality(Which shows the Bridge of Coca Cola being Solid and Supported by strong stone columns.

The shift in pattern symbolizes the ups and downs of Coke’s popularity in recent years.

Driving Through the Bridge

For Facebook, I wanted to create some more virtual, usable and also attract the attention of people.

MEETING PLACE
The meeting place is situated in between the Causeway and on the building to get a view of the two offices.

To get there, the person has to take a unique Ship/Elevator near the Customs Areas in between the bridge of the two offices.

The table itself is combination of Facebook and Coca Cola. At the bottom, they interconnect with each other to show they cooperate with each other to survive in this world.

Coke needs Facebook for its advertisements in order to sustain itself and vice versa. That is how they become powerful and strong when they support each other.
