Refined Model Presentataion

This is an overall presentation video of my refined model(720p available). It shows a brief circulation from upper studio to gallery space then below ground studio. Section views from front and above are included as well. Enjoy :)

This is the section i've chosen.

Section of the model.

Studio above ground. It is translucent, and surrounded by a set of red and yellow columns.

Everything above ground.

the whole model

exhibition area, with 2 pieces of work from both clients.

the studio under ground.

underground part is filled with water, with islands of different materials.

the stair above ground to get to the gallery. It's in the shape of a new moon(see STAIR posted earlier) and made from timber.

the stair going from underground to the datum level.(see STAIR posted earlier) staircases are made of pink glass and metal forming the structural components.

sktchup model 2

This is my second sketchup model.

Stairs

This post is a submission of all my 8 stair designs, including an axonometric, an elevation and a top plan of each staircase.

This is a simple revolving stair with a central column and thin-linear-supporting structure connecting each stair step to the centre. i used this stair in my final model between the below ground and the datum.

This stair is a bit tricky to walk on. anyway, it's still a stucture that can make people move from one level to another. This stair is made by only one piece of metal.(steel, aluminum, etc) The piece is twisted in a special way to form steps like origami.

This is just a revolving stair surrounding a hexagon column. Simple but solid.

This stair design is based on the shape of new moon. I used this stair as the connection between the upper stodio to the gallery. Its shape is balanced and elegent.

This stair has its handle in the middle instead of being placed at both sides of the stair.

This stair is made by a couple of overlaying boxex. It's as straight forward as it seems.
The last stair is a bit tricky. This image is a single step of the stair. The section of the stair is a hexagon, which made the step can be walked on any of the 6 sides depending where the client is.
