Second Section Stairs - Energy and Isolation

ENERGY

Below are the images of my sketch of the stairs from my second chosen section. These stairs represent the word Energy, and is created from the Exhibition space to Fiona Hall's studio above. There are also images of the stairs that i produced in SketchUp.



The image above is a shot from above the modeled stairs. The materials I was thinking of using for the steps were wood. My steps are attached to the created curved wall, like planks of wood just protruding from the wall, which is hollow underneath. The curved shape helps represent the word energy.



I wanted to create the high wall next to the steps, so that the stairs are open, and it leaves an empty wall, which allows the opportunity for the artists to display their work, or even for those who visit, to have full view of the exhibition.


ISOLATION


The below images, are for the design of the stairs of the second section, from the exhibition space to below ground, Tracey Moffat's studio. The materials i used in this design are generally timber, but i was thinking maybe steel or concrete might work to. This design is a swirl with covers on either side, so that there is a feeling of isolation.


Below is an aerial view of my designed spiral stairs. In this image, the materials that i plan to use can be seen through my textured painting.



Above is the front view of the stairs. The high walls on either side of the stairs, creates an enclosed space, where the person walking has very limited vision of their surroundings, or what is at the end of the stairs, which further represents the word isolation.
