week 2; the Stairs

THE STAIRS


Brain storming stairs for my building. 

- Cantilevered stairs
- Spiral stairs
- Suspended stairs
- Stairs that is part of the building piece (holes in the wall that are for the feet to climb up and down)




Rough ideas for the stairs 


Stair sections

Half Paced stairs:




Spiral Stairs:



Simple stairs with structure supporting the stairs:




I really like this image



 4 STAIRS: 8 SECTIONS:


Straight floating stairs: has steel bars to support the stairs and glass panel with wooden railings on both sides of the stairs



Straight stairs: simple, made of concrete with 'floating' wooden railings attached to the walls. 



Suspended stairs: wooded stair platform lifted buy wooden supports coming from the ceiling.





Another straight stars with supported hanging at the the edge of each stair platform and going into the ground. Simple railings, made of steel and the stair made of glass and the support is made of concrete. 

SKETCHUP STAIRS:

Build a really simple model of stairs just going in one direction ( front and top view)




Trying to build a fancy spiral staircase (front and top view)




Built a stair case that starts going up from the ground level and the supports are underground:




Built a simple Half landing staircase with no railings and no support system for the upper staircase:




Made a staircase with the railings but no support systems, also filled in with texture (glass)







Returned to the little sketches to work on my building more. I focused more on the bottom part of the building because I had already decided on what the top part of the building will look like. The last two sections only show the bottom part as I was trying to test it and see how it would look. 


A doodle of what I thought my final building will look like:

36 textures from light to dark v.1  v.2 v.2 I did two 36 sketches. I started in my book but when I came around to transferring it on white paper, I felt like I could do more so I have made a few changes and also the last picture was scanned and saturated in PS but the yellow hue started appearing so another reason to transfer it on white paper.  The Architecture Final work: A really simple, I think, work that deals with curves. Place the model in lumion, but it forgot the curve skin and I don't know why. Firstly, I've changed the axonometric sketch that I based the architecture on: (axonometric sketches) 1. Inspirations that led me here: These pictures above are a tram station, and bus stations on the bottom. I thought they looked simple , which them prompted the question: what makes the structure of a station? Is it not just a shelter, tall and long enough to shelter from the sun, rain and wind? It...

ARCH1101 My best piece of creative work:                        Ma Cherie  2017 magazine front and back cover.  I love Graphic design and I feel really comfortable working on the computer. Last year, I was in a team to published a magazine, Ma Cherie . I was in charge of the cover and end page of this magazine and also other pages, but I feel these two pages are the best that I have ever done my creative history. All of this was created in Adobe photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. These two pages also remind me of the amazing teamwork we had in the group- the best yet in my life, and this resulted in a very polished and sophisticated magazine.  Image of a great piece of architecture: Germany's Parliament building: The Reichstag building and the Dome.  This building is where Germany politics take place and the Reichstag itself has been there since 1894 and has gone through dam...
