Imposing height, geometry and pointed shape in plan

Stopping the elevator track short creates tension between Gaga and the island

View down the bridge from the elevator showing suspension system

meeting place toward Gaga - furniture linked to Gaga's anglar architecture. The downward pointing bridge and high overhead wings suggest 'power'
