Elevator Two - Concept for Slim and Yin

I have come with a concept that conveys an element of power that is quite common: What makes a powerful person less powerful? Another powerful person. It may be due to the respect from the opposing powerful person, or just intimidation.

My design consists of both elevators displaying the kind of power its owner has: Yin- a resourceful, more classical or empirical type of power; and Slim- a more modern, technological and corporate status. However this isn't the prime concept.

The elevators rely on each other in bringing its occupant to the meeting space. With out Slim, Yin is unable to attend to the business meeting, and vise versa. This is a gesture of respect, it implies: That unless both people are there, business cannot go ahead, promoting an ethical and moral way of dealing in a cut-throat corporate world.

This is made possible through Architecture. Both elevators have a stair case, however it does not belong to them, but to their counterpart. The staircase cannot be accessed unless the other person is present. This dependence, plays on the idea of varying power, and how financial wealth cannot always provide a life null of reliance.
