Week 2: Staircase for Sketchup Model 1

Above Ground: Chaotic
Below Ground: Suspended

Closeup of stairs (outside):














This stair represents the word "Chaotic," and I have done this by varying the height, width and form of each stair. It is made out of red brick, giving it a very solid and sharp appearance.

Materials:

Stairs- Asphalt
Wall- Concrete Block




Side view of underground section 1:


These stairs are in the form of a spiral, and add to the notion of "suspended" by hanging down from one point. The walls of the studio also seem to be coming down from the top, giving a sense that it is hanging off something.

  1. Hello VANESSA!

    I think your work is amazing. I especially like your "Chaotic" Studio because to me it captures the word really well- with the building seemingly shooting in all directions. I also think that your use of glass was an effective choice of material because it shows the different layers of the building, adding to the overall sense of chaos.
    However, I feel that your stairs did not capture the word as effectively because there is a sense of order about it,perhaps because of the size and direction of the stair. Maybe you could try to add more to your stair, add more steps that go in different directions or steps that overlap each other, or slant in various ways- you could just experiment more! Despite this, I like the way you created the steps so that they are different heights and shapes and sizes, it was a clever method of representing the "chaos".
    Overall I enjoyed looking at your models and keep up the great stuff =D !
