ARCH 1101 - Stairs experiment ( applying textures to structure and applying artwork to studios)


X-ray of the structure focusing on underground studio.


X-ray image of structure focusing on above ground studio.

These are the 3 textures that I applied in my model. I applied the silky texture on the underground carpet so that I will look more qualitative and stunning and improve the overall image of the underground studio. The frozen texture was used on the ground floor floor texture. I thought the texture looked similar to tiles therefore I experimented it on the walkways and the stairs around the area. I turned out good and expressing the uniqueness of the structure. The smoky texture was applied to the roof cone of the above ground studio. I gives it a natural look and makes the material look organic and environmentally friendly.

These images consist the use of my custom textures and the artwork from which I designed this structure from.

ARCH 1101 - Stairs experiment (Underground Studio)


The underground section is based on the the adjective Incinerated...


Overall view of underground studio.


Stairs leading down to the underground studio.


Image showing how stairs connect to the underground floor.

Final underground studio linked to the ground level through the "fish bone" stairs. The surroundings of the studio is covered with glass to give it a grand and open feeling so that one could feel the ground floor feeling with the underground room. The rocks hang from the ceiling to create an ancient feeling and to show how nature can fuse with architecture to form exotic and fresh designs.

ARCH 1101 - Textures


I sketched new textures which I think experiment in my structure...







Texture pattern sketches. I think I will probaly create a few more in order to improve the detail with some of these sketches.

ARCH 1101 - Stairs experiment (Trunk Stairs)




The overall image of the trunk stairs.

Side section of the stairs

These stairs are based on the curved and warped cylinder which support the platform which turn into stairs. The steps will be made from tinted glass so that it will be transparent and people will still be able to see the steps.
