WK2-The Stair

Wk2's take home exercise, aka Independent Study, can't be rushed. It is a slow process of looking* analytically that is accompanied with thinking + sketching + drawing + modeling.
After the stairs being introduced into your design development, there will be a sense of scale in the 3D modeling.
The keywords to focus on could be: connection, verticality, horizontality, flow-space, gathering-place, and so on. Why don't you figure out a set of them that will be the thematics of your EXP1. Use your words(WK1) as inspiration.


Here are some examples to help you start. We will look at the process of: (1)- creating stairs; (2)- inserting stairs into 2 studios linked by a gallery space at the ground level.
