Metropolis of Tomorrow - Book.

In a lecture on bridge designing, i was intrigued by a book called "The Metropolis of Tomorrow" by Hugh Ferriss in 1929. This book contained rendered sketches of his perceptions of what a future city would look like in America.

I saw an image of a bridge and the idea which was thought profounding was the concept of making something that served a purpose. For example in the image below the pillars which support the bridge contained office space and apartments.

In conversing with a few classmates and generating ideas i decided to make the dining table inside the elevator. Each elevator would would join together to make the YinYang symbol representing the "balance of power" and inside each elevator would contain half of the dining table and when it came together it would make the whole dining table.
