Sketchup: Stairs



1. I chose to do a light staircase as I thought it would fit the theme of a futuristic space, like Stelarc.

2. Another like staircase. This one goes through every level for quick circulation in the building, from top to bottom (and visa versa).
It seemed to take up space, and looked slightly awkward between a cut level, so I put it on the outside. This also, so the sides of the building would not be flat. Thus giving the building a little more shape and view from the inside.
3. These stairs are slightly curved and overlook the wok space of Louise Bourgeois. Her work space is set like a cage, with pillars. The stairs over look it slightly because Bourgeois' artworks often reveal her past (and often deep) experiences. Thus, it is like looking into the meaning of her work, as she creates art.
4. These sets of stairs are part of the gallery space. It is to lead to the smaller area of space, for artworks. People can the have an overlooking view of the gallery. As well as artists, like Stelarc who like to perform and be close to his audience, can be seen by the audience, as well as him seeing the audience.
