Week Four

I developed the interior detailing of my chosen model, adding some more of the green tinted metallic spikes protruding from the underground level into the exhibition space, as well as some entering the top level; creating a connection between the bottom level and the rest of the building.

On the top level, in CJ Hendry's workspace, I added some display cubes. These cubes are covered in the same 'Geometric' texture used on the floor of this space, and the interior sections covered in the green metallic material that appears in the lower section of the building. These cubes reflect the rectangular geometry of the exterior of the upper level, however differing in size and shape. In order to create a connect between the workspaces and the exhibition space, these cubes also appear in the exhibition space to act as 'frames' to display or store artwork.

I developed my ideas for both staircases and detailed the materials used in the following sketches;

Staircase from underground level to middle level - showing the metal platforms held together by strong nickel-plated steel pins

Staircase from middle level to top level - showing marble platforms supported by the perpendicular wall and held in by pins

My final model is available through this link to my Google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1nLOyZ9HrXUQELPNvLTmcFAt8uMGktj9Y as 3D Warehouse would not allow me to upload without crashing.
