Stair Sections

The following collection of sketches are section of our own designs of staircases that we have developed to implement in our buildings. The top row depict side section while the bottom provides a front section of the staircase.

The staircase I chose to further develop and explore later was sketched in the first column. This idea reflected what I wanted my building to encapsulated, "flow", better that any of the other ideas.

Sketchup Model from Section Sketch

 This was my original sketch infusing elements of "Merging" and "Flowing Architecture." The circular objects seemingly melting into each other was intended to give the look as if the balls were merging together while below the Datum, the building "flowed" into the earth below.

Modelling this in Sketch-up proved to be difficult especially working with such shaped. The birds eye view and side perspective view of the building give detail in the contours and gradients of the structure.

Section Sketches derived from Descriptive Words

After selecting two clients, we were tasked to construct a series of 18 sections based on two of the words we selected. 

Week 1: Meeting the Clients

Based off the following images from our clients, we were to choose 3 words: a noun, verb and adjective.
