The Stair Above

The Stair Above:

The design intent for this staircase was to create a stair that would feel light and airy as a transition point between the ground and the floating structure above.

36 Textures

36 Words and Textures: Above Between Below "Light" The texture I chose to implement in the floating structure was "Light", as I thought that it was fitting with the client's theme of lightness, airiness and delicateness.

EXP2- Week 2

For my building precedent, I chose Zaha Hadid's Vitra Fire Station in Germany in which I have analysed the building plan and worked out the areas for each building segment to fulfil the school's area requirements. The total GFA of the fire station was much too large to meet the school's area criterion. So I had to re-size some of the blocks.  Massing Sketch: I made this sketch of the school as an early concept to help visualize how the building would look from Anzac Parade. My vision for this architecture school is inspired by modernist architecture that is elevated above the ground plane in order to conserve space, create outdoor, shaded recreational areas, and accommodate existing structures.  While designing the circulation "cross", I had the idea of this structure being a complex network of connections in the area which gave me the idea of making the rooftops an elevated, green, pedestrian walkway that users can commute and/or enjoy the pano...

Stair Below Sketches: The design for this staircase is focused around the unique display case that sits underground. Although the client(The Khyza), is not particularly a car designer, I would like to think that he may enjoy collecting or customizing cars in addition to his digital work. Therefore, I created a stair that would be a transition point between ground and underground, in which people can appreciate the works/vehicles in 360 degrees.  I deliberately made the landings of the stair exponentially bigger than the staircase themselves as it makes the trip feel more like a visual journey.
