UT Tip
Jobs' Mover in UT
Concept: A shrewd businessman, this mover would be fit for Jobs and one other partner. It is dangerous on entry [sharp pointy form] and could prove fatal on exit, as this mover moves to the meeting space. The partner may think they are getting their 'big break' with Jobs but they are looking down the barrel, with Steve Jobs following them, ready to pull the trigger on the sacrificial lamb.

MashUp
As the daughter to a modern imperial iPhone army, she is at the forefront of this kind of society. But beware. Nothing is quite what it seems.
"If she doesn't like a CEO, I will cancel their Jobs.
This notion that workers are interchangeable cogs remains the corrupt and controlling pathology of Jobs in a juggernaut company. Knowing it would generate more success and wealth, minimalist
standard-issue cubicles were a triumph. This unprecedented revolution would have formed capitalism in the communist revolution of 1949 in China.
“It was glorious,” a Porsche-driving tycoon said, of using well-known models for personal endeavors by the age of 11. The Billionaire had a blinding realisation on the standard touchy-feely philosophies of Silicon Valley, “Natural? I do not believe in totally natural ambitious women. Rubbish! She is a woman. Their essential purpose - decorative daintiness. If my sister wants to do something, okay; housewives, seamstresses or child-care workers. Natural has something to do with food, something to do with vegetables. In particular, an Apple.”
With profits looking good and diamonds that are "bigger than a very big grape”, they have also converted the wheelchair symbol on the pavement into a Mercedes logo. There is only one Mercedes that doesn't need to search for very long, and the subsequent growth, of the business is stunning. The result?
The Apple is irredeemably evil.
*Note: The words Apple and Jobs are not necessarily used in the context of the company or person.

Additional Images - Ramps
Hawking had numerous ramps that were integrated into the building. The first section of ramp (image 1) connects to the roof of the meeting area, then snakes its way through the building (image 2), passing above the lowered ceiling (image 3) - these paths had their views intentionally blocked as a way of creating a 'gradual realisation'. After the last ramp (image 4), the observer is struck with a visual which intends to connect the two buildings - the similarly angled section, as well as the slight appearance of a cross when looking at Hawking's space (I did not have enough time to refine this as well as I wanted to).
