Week 3 - Staircases

Design Sketch:

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.

Week 1 Tasks

Image A - HSC major work
I completed this set of 2 drawings over the course of a few months in year 12, using coloured and lead pencils. They both measure around 50cm x 80cm. In my artwork I wanted to explore the relationship between humanity and nature, and I drew allusions between internal organs and plants to demonstrate how we are inextricably linked with the world around us.


Image B - The Colosseum
As a true architectural masterpiece, the Colosseum not only functioned in the times of ancient rome, but also manages to adhere to today's standards, according to a recent national geographic study. When crowd stimulation software was used to calculate the evacuation time during an emergency, it was found that the evacuation procedure in the colosseum was faster than that of the birds nest olympic stadium in China.

Image C - Antique Bike
This bike belonged to my mum in the 1970's, and recently we restored it to usable condition. Due to the time in which it was built, the design features extremely low handlebars, which contributes to the aerodynamic qualities it possesses as a racing bike. At the time, it was standard to attach the gear change levers on the lower bar of the frame, which makes it difficult to use for those accustomed to contemporary bikes.
