Carlos Slim

"MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim, who is estimated by some calculations to be wealthier than Microsoft founder Bill Gates, said Thursday he did not care if he was the world's richest person.
In July, a journalist who tracks the fortunes of wealthy Mexicans said Slim was worth an estimated $67.8 billion and had overtaken Gates as the world's richest person."

Rationale

Using the quotes from Stephen Hawkins and Florence Nightingale, the spaces were thus created to connect and reiterate their meaning and purpose within the respective quotes.

The indoor space (behind the wall) relates with Florence Nightingale as the space has alternate paths to get to the rear space but with each entrance there is a sense of uncertainty and sense of mystery. The jagged cuts along with cuts in and out of the entrance facade showcase this idea. the proportion of the space is much bigger compared to the player which makes it overwhelming.

The outdoor space (outside the wall) relates to Stephen Hawkins. His quote talks of geometry and mathematics so the space was created to reflect the linear, clear cut nature of mathematics and various forms of shapes and their rotational qualities which is resonant of geometry.

The ramp consists of a platform where the two clients can meet and consult. there are also steps and ramps which allow movement between the two individual spaces. This ramp or middle entity connects both quotes and clients with the combination of solid shapes and cuts within the shapes.
