THE STAIR

Stair 1:

Underground to Middle Floor

In this set of stairs, I had aimed to contrast between the straight and the curved elements of the building. While there is still a feeling of rigidity due to the columns, it is softened due to the gentle curve that each stair follows.

Materials:

Each individual stair is cast out of concrete and kept white.

Stair 2:

Middle Floor to Upper Ground:

In this set of stairs, I continued with the rigidity and straight lines. Unlike the first set of stairs, there is a lock of curves. However, these stairs contrast with the building through the use of horizontal lines which cut through the heavy amount of vertical lines within the building.

Materials:

Similar to first set of stairs, in which each individual stair is cast in concrete and suspended from ceiling with concrete posts.

SECOND SKETCH UP MODEL

Model #2

Materials:

This building is created from steel and glass in order to continue with the sleek, angular design of the 2D hand drawn sections.
