3D Model of Staircase

The following 3D model is the double helix stair designed to link The Khyza's workshop to the showroom, inspired by the word "Avant-garde".

Sections of Four Stairs

This staircase was inspired by the keyword "Terrain". Bridging the gap between Trent Jansen Studio's workshop and the showroom, it aims to reflect ideas of the shifting dynamics between terrains. Commencing with stairs set into the walls, as one descends the stairs they gradually become entrenched in the floor; accentuating the transition from a floating medium to the ground terrain. The curved wood faces coupling the lower stair rungs with the higher ones choreograph one's eyes to shift upward as they ascend the staircase, accentuating the transition in terrain.

This stimulation for this staircase was derived from the word "Avant-garde" and fashioned to link The Khyza's workshop to the showroom. Established as a double helix structure, the staircase exudes an atmosphere of elegance and futurism, melded with the choice of minimal yet sophisticated materials, effectively accentuating its avant-garde nature. Yet, practicality was considered during its design and consequently the double helix structure is a vital requirement for the effective functioning of the workshop. One of the stairs can be converted into a ramp, facilitating for the transfer of vehicles to and from the showroom. In this manner, the design of the staircase is effectively reinforced.

Based on the keyword "Organic", the design of this staircase draws heavily from the canopy of a treeline. Fashioned from hickory planks and suspended from the roof-line, each plank didactically sits as a reference to tree branches. With its free-floating design, the staircase can be connected in iteration with itself forming a "canopy" of stairs that lead from the showroom to Trent Jansen Studio's workshop. As such, the organic element of this staircase is effectively explored.

Derived from the word "Industry", this staircase draws inspiration from the excessive usage of pipelines in industrial locations. However, replacing the tarnished metal tubing for a more futuristic glass encasing, this staircase adapts to The Khyza's values of futurism and forward thinking. As a direct result of its compatibility, the staircase can be constructed to form bends and corners at will. Concomitantly, the staircase within the glass encasing can be interchanged with a ramp to assist in the movement of vehicles between The Khyza's workshop and the showroom, functioning aesthetically and practically to aid in the manufacturing process.

Eighteen Sections

For the following sections, I chose the two designers "The_Khyza" and "Trent Jansen Studio". In this manner, the 6 subsequent descriptive words were: Industry, Shifting and Avant-garde for "The Khyza" and Terrain, Undulating and Organic for "Trent Jansen Studio".

The section that I decided to continue with and create a 3D model contained the descriptive words Undulating and Avant-garde as shown below:

Introductory Three Images

This is my final work for the HSC practical submission for Visual Arts in 2018. The medium i chose was oil paint on canvas and it measured 2.5 X 1.5 metres. It was titled "Postcards from Shanghai" and is a culmination of 70 hours of work throughout the course. It depicts a collage of various images with significance to Chinese and Australian Heritage, melded into each other and overlapping physical boundaries imposed by the canvas frames to indicate the blending of cultures.

Completed in 1875 by architect Jean-Louis-Charles Garnier, the Paris Opera functions as a vehicle of an expression of forms, facilitating the process of connection between attending visitors and the building itself. Designed in the Napoleon III style, it contrasts with the surrounding mundane buildings, exuding an atmosphere of opulence and imperial magnificence underlined by the double columnar colonnade to generate a mood of radiant content within the visitors. Embellished with poly-chromatic ornamentation, gold mosaic and gilded ornamental details, it serves as an analogy of the visitors’ luxurious clothing. Making effective use of varying materials of marble, stone and gilded bronze, Garnier achieves an arrangement of forms in marble friezes and lavish statuary depicting Greek mythology to induce an ambience of grandeur in visitors.

This is a night-time photo I took of the Banpo Bridge in January of 2020 which runs across the Han river connecting the Seocho and Yongsan districts of Seoul, South Korea. It was the first double deck bridge built in South Korea and is also the world's longest bridge fountain, containing nearly 10,000 LED nozzles which run along both sides of the bridge and pump water from the Han river to be shot out. The LED's then shine upon that water to create various illusions, most famously a rainbow display of colours.
