Article Mash-up and Concepts of Power

.
.
In this experiment, we are dealing with dynamic architecture that relates to our clients' concepts of power. Each is powerful in a unique way; Barack Obama wields political and social power, Madonna has entertainment and consumer power, and Muiccia Prada has fashion and image power. To represent the combination of these three concepts in a building, the ideas of the clients first need to be related, and the following mash-up does this by combining a news article about each.
.
I wanted to avoid just stringing sentences together and combining the article just for the sake of combining it. I tried to incorporate Madonna and Prada as figures in the political dicussion of Obama's article, so that the worlds of fashion and music seem to be subsets of politics, and so there's a bit of a story that makes sense (not too much sense) and reads believably (not too believably).
