datum - stairs cross section - final

Images above - The stairs that lead up towards Richard Goodwin's 'synthetic space.
Images below - The stairs that lead down towards Ricky Swallow's 'isolated' space.

(The portrait plan is a cross section from a front on view as if going up the stairs, the landscape plan is a side on view)

I wanted to use light stairs in this concept gallery space. I wanted them to be incorporated with some sort of artwork that is fixed on the wall so that from afar, the stairs look like pieces of artwork on the wall. I wanted to use a mixture of materials with the steps being a coloured transparent material like glass. The balustrades to be made from a lightweight material that can float from the artwork. Coloured ceramic tiles for the artwork that would be incorporated in it. For structural support, the steps and the beams in the artwork are to be embedded in the wall with metal.

For the steps that went below to Ricky Swallow's space I wanted to use circular shapes to continue the organic theme.

For the steps that lead up to Richard Goodwin's space, I wanted to use regular squares to continue the 'hard' theme, and also the synthetic nature of his work.
