Concept Drawing Process

Final Section Sketches

The concept of this stair system is the idea of reflection and refraction.

As seen in word 1: City, there are hollow rectangular shapes which have inverted solid shapes reflected across the datum. I brought this concept through as seen in the side elevation where the form and functionality of a stair can also be seen in the negative space underneath the treads and risers.

Word 2: Chroma shows a splitting or refraction of the idea of a ceiling or roof. I tried to express that in the treads of the stair, where the experience of climbing those steps is irregular and foreign due to the randomised length

I stumbled across the concept of the stair when I was trying to figure out how to combine both words together. I chose to go with number 7 in the end.
