The Library and Learning Center at Vienna university of economics, architectural design by Zaha Hadid. From a recent dawn shoot with John Leech , Ryan Harkin and Ilan Shacham .
I found Tommy Wu at his preferred table. He sat in the half-light like a statue carved from a shadow, flanked by a creature they called Bao — his tiger-man bodyguard, broad-shouldered, narrow-eyed, and silent as extinction.
“You’ve got guts, Malloy,” he said, “Not brains, necessarily, but guts. That counts for something in a dying city.”
Bao cracked his knuckles once. Just once. The sound was like a bone folding.
I stayed standing. Chairs in this room weren’t for everyone.
“You know why I’m here,” I said.
Tommy smiled — a cold little crescent moon of a thing. “The won ton recipe.” He placed the cup down gently, like it might explode if mishandled. “You’re the fourth man to come sniffing around it. The other three aren’t answering questions anymore.”
“You think it’s just about pork and garlic?” he said. “That recipe is older than dynasties. It’s a formula. A cipher. A map written in flavor. Basil Feng didn’t create it — he decoded it.”
He gestured toward the door, not unkindly.
“Walk away, Malloy. That recipe doesn’t belong in your world. It belongs to history. To blood. To the ones willing to kill for taste.”
He paused, eyes glinting.
“And believe me — the hunger out there isn’t for food.”
Then he waved a hand, and Bao stood.
Which meant the conversation was over.
And maybe — if I had any sense left — so was I.

Wu was the chief geneticist in Jurassic Park and head of the team that created the dinosaurs. In the movie he reveals that all the dinosaurs on the island are female. In the novel, Wu has a much larger part; he proposes genetically altering further saurian creations to make them more manageable, something that Hammond opposes
Designed and folded by Quentin Trollip from a 34,5 cm square of black tissue mc'ed onto beige washi.
Model is 12 cm high.
Inspired by the work of origami artist Joseph Wu, especially his mask of Mr. David Suzuki.
This is a progression of the first mask, where I added eye brows and ears.
An interesting challenge, where attention to detial is very necessary, as the slightest alterations can make a big visual change.
