The architecture of the Slim's and Yin's offices is very permanent. This is contrasted by the meeting place which is a space of the moment. It is created only when required and then disappears when no longer used.
The design of this space mirrors its temporary nature. It is a simple construction that is formed from parts of the surrounding architecture. The long wooden sticks enclose the floor as the two powerful figures can dine in the sky, looking down upon what they own.
Zhang Yin's office is a space that floats above. You enter the room on equal level with the platform yet you are forced to descend into a pit of light that radiates upwards upon Zhang Yin.
The article on Zhang Yin spoke of her relative obscurity that is due to the low profile she keeps. This is reflected in the room leading into her office. It is a maze of shapes and obstructions behind which Yin can operate without fear of distraction.
