Perspectives

I decided to redo my circulation cross

I was still not satisfied with the cross so I created another version

I felt that this had adequate massing elements and a few interesting forms.

Theory

SYSTEMIC SIMPLICITY

Finding the balance between the modern and the classic through simplicity.

Circulation Cross Model - Rendered

The circulation cross connects to the Law Library, Roundhouse, and the Schools of Petroleum Engineering and Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering. Through a connection with the Engineering buildings, students can build connections with other disciplines. Linking with the Law Library provides access to a plethora of academic resources and an additional study space. The Roundhouse provides social benefits with its food outlets and recreational facilities, aiding in the relief of stress.

The circulation cross above was revised to connect to the squarehouse as opposed to the previous model connecting to the blockhouse. This cross connects to the roundhouse only as a form of stress relief for the Built Environment students. 

Pendulum Stairs

The initial design of the stairs designed for Mountain and Moon were inspired by the pendulum-like movement shown

These stairs were created from the noun 'mountain'. The client in mind is Trent Jansen who creates furniture that exhibits a "rural" vibe. Through these stairs, the essence of nature is carried throughout with the treads varying in form much like rocks on the side of a mountain.

Float Stairs

These stairs were designed with the verb "float" in mind. Made for the clients, Mountain and Moon, the stairs integrate aspects of jewelry design within their form; the stringers form a necklace from a central point.

These stairs were created for clients from Mountain and Moon with the verb 'float' in mind. The cables attached to the treads in conjunction with the lack of handrails attributes to the sensations individuals feel when they are afloat. Along with this, the stairs swing in a pendulum-like motion, imitating the movements of a dragon (which symbolises elegance, much like jewelry).
