Experiment 1: The Stair Conceptual Model

Client: Mountain & Moon

Location: Ground level to Above Ground Studio

SCHEME 1: STAIR DESIGN 1 (ground to top)

SKETCH UP MODEL IMAGES (DESIGN 1)

material selection: varnished timber

Inspiration drawn from the Maiko earrings (Mountain & Moon), which influenced the choice of the words ‘fall’ and ‘echo’, is emulated through the design’s uniformity and repetition, accented by subtle asymmetries such as the alternate directions that each frame curves in. The delicateness and intricacy of the client’s work is juxtaposed against the structure’s simplicity in both its unambiguous form and wooden material, and the strict verticality of each structure mimics the motion of cascading stairs, further emphasised by its curved corners.

BRIDGE FINAL SUBMISSION (EXP2)

Theory (5%) Architectural design is distinctly informed by its ability to facilitate fluid movement in a dynamic way, through the flexibility of its physical form; thus, unique connections between people and spaces are formed, by blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior, and natural and artificial. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Architecture (50%) Immediate focus is drawn towards the white piping that runs across the glass body, defining the curves of the bridge's shape. The overall design is intended to recall the natural environment , the lines inspired by geological rock forms, the ripples and motion of water, aged trees and landscape contours. The structure's transparency creates an open atmosphere and strengthens connections between students through the visibility while also creating a direct contact to the natural environment from inside the building. The repetition of organic wooden shap...
