Gaining Complexity

by cchlebda

This week, I’ve been working mostly on implementing my new idea for crisscrossing public and private circulation paths within a more centralized atrium space. It’s been kind of a trial and error process of testing various slopes and angles of staircases to try to get a combination that actually works (leaving enough headroom under the stairs as they crisscross). These are some images of the design where it is right now. I’ve moved into Revit, which is helping me quickly test different stair types. I’ve just been using the program’s default materials, railings, stairs, etc. for now. My focus has been on developing the shape and functionality of the space, and I will focus on details later. The atrium still has a ways to go, but it’s getting there.
