WEEK 2: STAIR IDEAS



Hello ! 


Here are my stair designs from this last week : 


Inquisitive-Rustic [I]


The number of steps reduces with each successive landing, like a countdown .. 

The "rustic" stair is inspired by a beanstalk (this could also work for "inquisitive")



Inquisitive-Rustic [II]



I was inspired by a "hanging" stair featured in last week's lecture. Some of the treads here hang from the ceiling whilst the others are supported from a vertical beam from the floor. 

The rustic stair is inspired by Carlo Scarpa's work - I've tried to incorporate steps of different lengths. 



Inquisitive-Sponge [I]


 With the inquisitive stairs I had been thinking of puzzles and tessellations. Part of the odd numbered treads should slope up to the even numbered treads and so on .. 
Sponge stairs may be a little too literal. 


Inquisitive-Sponge [II]


In the inquisitive stairs, I thought about concealing most of the stairs with a wall - however we are given a narrow view of the treads. This means we have to wait for the person to arrive at the bottom of the stairs so that we can identify them ! 



What are your thoughts? Please feel free to leave a message below!
