The Two Headquarters

The two headquarters themselves function as bridges across the valley. They elongate from mountains to mountains as if they are part of the chain. The power concept for Coca Cola is understood by popularity of its product. A Coke gives off an idea of the feeling of refreshment, thirst busting and sparkling soda that if you drink them you can feel the fizzy taste of a soft drink.The power concept for Facebook is a strength of a social media service. Facebook connects a billion of people. Conflation of Culture, personality and relationship within people inspire me a lava flow which you cannot really stop when there is an eruption because it is unstoppable.

Coca Cola

This building is rather sticking on the mountains than providing a link from here to there although it has a notion of a bridge. The headquarter seems it has spread out on the mountain like a spilt-coke on a carpet. Many straight lines are used in order to visualize the sparkle.

Facebook
The headquarter has a shape of lava flow that seems like the mountains had an eruption and the lava flow has been hardened by the coldness of the environment. It is practically linking both ends of the headquarter whilst the building straddles on it.

Elevators

In order to keep a sense of kinship to their headquarters, Facebook's elevator is round and Coca Cola's elevator is angulated. Each elevator shafts have corresponding shapes as well.

The Table

It is round on the grith and there are straight lines running through the table. A mixed concept of both companies.

The Table

There is a stream between the headquarters and this is a bridge that connects. The table is on the bridge which is translucent. It is a strong bridge but it looks fragile. The meeting point adjures the cleanness and of their purpose of the meeting and portrays the balance of the power so that one company cannot control over or take advantage of the other. This is for a fair partnership that helps and develops each other for the best and share ideas that will not only just making profits but also greatly serve society.
