  • Separated by four floors, two employees of the auditing company Ernst & Young, make their way along walkways in the main atrium of E & Y's European headquarter offices at More London, London England. Striding confidently between offices, the two people are unaware of each other's presence but make their way from right to left of this tall, upright scene of modernity. The senior person on top may have an advantage from better opportunities, the low-ranking worker below may be needing to rise up the ranks. Morning sunlight floods through the green tinted glass that overlooks Tower Bridge on the River Thames. The term atrium comes from Latin: a large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective. .

  • Looking through the large windows of Greater London Mayor (GLA) Ken Livingstone's headquarters on the River Thames, a lone figure stands silhouetted with a floodlit Tower Bridge in the background. We see the reflections of the GLA building pasted over the evening sky above Tower Bridge. London's famous bridge was completed in 1894 and remains one of the capital's most visible symbols both for Victorian engineering and as a tourist landmark. The Mayor's Greater London Authority (GLA) headquarters stands over the Thames, opposite the Tower of London on the north shore.

  • Beneath sunlight that filters down through a glass roof, two employees walk through the bright atrium at the British Airways' corporate headquarters at Waterside at Harmondsworth near Heathrow Airport. Passing-by the full-size undercarriage of a Boeing 747, the workers make their way through the bright and clean atmosphere of this airline's nerve-centre, an operational and planning complex designed by architect, Niels Torp, a champion of humanist modern design. It comprises 6 roughly U-shaped buildings with courtyards and lakes stretching out into the landscape. The central spine is the street, complete with village style shops and restaurants. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). .

  • Desk in the preserved office of former Minister in charge of GDR secret police chief, Erich Mielke - an exhibit in 'Haus 1' the ministerial headquarters of the Stasi secret police in Communist East Germany, the GDR. Built in 1960, the complex now known as the Stasi Museum. Before the fall of the Wall, it was a 22-hectare complex of espionage whose centrepiece is the office and working quarters of the former Minister of State Security, Mielke who considered their role as the 'shield and sword of the party', conducting one of the world's most efficient spying operations against its political dissenters during its 40-year old socialist history. After the fall of the socialist state, Mielke was sentenced to 6 years in prison and died in 2000, aged 92. During Hitler's Third Reich, the Gestapo had one agent for every 2,000 citizens whereas the Stasi had approximately an spy for every 6.5. Here at the Stasi HQ alone 15,000 were employed plus the many regional stations. German media called East Germany 'the most perfected surveillance state of all time' - administered from this complex of offices.

  • Forecourt of 'Haus 1' the ministerial headquarters of the Stasi secret police in Communist East Germany, the GDR. Built in 1960, the complex now known as the Stasi Museum. Before the fall of the Wall, it was a 22-hectare complex of espionage whose centrepiece is the office and working quarters of the former Minister of State Security, Erich Mielke who considered their role as the 'shield and sword of the party', conducting one of the world's most efficient spying operations against its political dissenters during its 40-year old socialist history. Between 1950 and 1989, the Stasi employed a total of 274,000 people in an effort to root out the class enemy. During Hitler's Third Reich, the Gestapo had one agent for every 2,000 citizens whereas the Stasi had approximately an spy for every 6.5. Here at the Stasi HQ alone 15,000 were employed plus the many regional stations. German media called East Germany 'the most perfected surveillance state of all time' - administered from this complex of offices.
