STAIRS

Sketches and Ideas for stair designs:
With some designs of stairs the feeling and experience of moving up and down the stairs is taken into consideration, such as the choice of where to move and the tempo(pace) of how the individual is experiencing each step. An example would be the height of each step with the involvement with platforms and the length of each step.
With Sketches 1 and 2 and the individual chooses his/her path in experiencing the stairs, the feeling of being able to freely move. With this concept i decided to use these steps juxtaposed with changing the width and height of each stair to make the experience rememberable for the individual. Also with the use of space, as some designs have been covered with shelter all around, a sense of freedom by choosing steps but also feeling a little costraphobic.
However with the other sketches there is only one step for the individual to walk on and the path is chosen with a sense of being restrained.
In relations to which design to put into my gallery is that i have decided to choose a stairs that would help the individual to experience the feeling of Ned Kelly as he was a rebel as well as a heroic icon to many Australians. Ideas could be a sense of edgyness, being a bit sheltered off from everything else yet being freely to move and have a choice in the way the individual experiences the atmosphere around him or her.
