the Section Drawings of the Stairs

Stair 1.

These stairs are made simple, in plain wood because the focus should be on the art works of the gallery. There is already different elevations and different wallpattern, so I decided to keep this set of stairs simple.

These stairs do occur on three different places in the model, but all in the same direction to get to the upper floor. They are not intersecting with each other, but that doesn't mean that they don't work together. They are fitted easily to the floor at the elevation it leads up to, with bolts.

Stair 2.

These stairs are made very narrow and with high steps because it is designed to be more like nature, not always designed for the comfort of people. Fiona Hall's piece is on the bottom floor, at the end of these stairs. Her work with the can that has flowers growing out of it made me think about how inconvinience sometimes occurs in nature because of people, but nature sometimes seem to be able to overcome the obsticles. So that got me into making a stair made out of marble(since the surroundings was already covered in stone-like tiles, I thought that marble might lighten up a bit and make a bit of a contrast to the rest of the area) that wouldn't be too easy to climb but still doable with the same effort that the flowers in the empty sardine can went through to get out on the other side. The stairs are also slightly steep, to make it seem to the eye that it isn't too long to go down there.

These stairs are not very complicated when it comes to constructing them into the gallery walls, they are just fitted to the wall with bolts since the stairs are solid marble.
