Above: Swift
Below: Envelop
Staircase 1: Swift
material selection: A reinforced concrete wall curves up from the basement floor to serve as a structural support for the building. The treads of these steps extend into the wall on the right side, and the rest of the weight is supported by pointed steel frames filled with glass. The small glass areas are small enough to be made from reclaimed pieces from old windows. The use of small and large triangles in a pointed shape reflects the notion of being swift or agile.
Staircase 2: Envelop
material selection: steel hoops hung from the ceiling support each tread. These are made from a wooden shell, with steel reinforcement inside if needed. The handrail is attached to each ring, made from steel covered in sculpted wood or copper, which reflects the brown tones in the wood.
