The Stairs:
3D Models
1: Curved
The curved stairs are aligned with the curves of a large-scale steel wheel. Looking at the curve from the front, a large circle is seen, however when viewing it from the side, the stairs are noticeable. The stairs run along the curve on both sides, giving two entry or exit points to the lower ground level. The stair risers are different heights, some almost so high, lunging yourself up is needed. The curve created between the stairs creates a form that encourages people to recline on it and look above. The overarching wheel unifies the upper and lower floors of the space.
2: Hanging
The next set of stairs come from the verb, "hanging." Two large cantilevering beams from the upper floor balances the stair bases with chains. These stairs, which balance and act alike swings, elevate up and down and up again from the ground level to the upper floor. The chains act as the balustrade for pedestrians to balance themselves with if needed. The stair bases are steel and give weight to the set of stairs that hover above the lower ground floor. The stairs elevate to which the pedestrian can view over the highest point of the building, a great lookout opportunity in the space.
3- Relationship between the stairs:
The wheel of the first set of stairs frames the hanging set of stairs when viewing from afar.
