3D Model of Staircase

The following model below embodies the word "slick," where it connects the upper floor, Kyza's workshop, to the ground floor, the showroom.

Four Stairs


The staircase graphically communicated the definition standing behind the word "enticing." It can be effectively analysed splitting the staircase into two sections, the free standing and the supported. The free standing section, held and suspended from the roof creates a sense of glamour and fascination, symbolic of a door welcoming its guests to a celebration. The supported section, rather, creates a frustum-like shape to evoke privacy yet delivering an alluring sensation. Thus, the word "enticing" is effectively explored by the staircase connecting "Mountain and Moon's" workshop up to the showroom.









 Inspired by the label, "sedate," the staircase features a simple yet unique design. The approach was taken by a thought of taking a "half-step" when going downstairs from Kyza's workshop to the showroom, establishing a sense of reliability. Moreover, the implementation of oak wood exemplifies the sturdiness and simplistic beauty coming from the natural world.














 Heavily stimulated by a futuristic slick design, the staircase illustrates a unique swirl. It modifies the original spiral staircase to reinvent a slightly more complex swirl. Coupled together with the supports coming up and down from each step, it creates harmony and flow throughout the staircase. This sense of flow acts as the key to the future, hence, providing an effective illustration of a staircase connecting Kyza's workshop down to the show room.













"Cold Hearted," was the word inspiring the following design which bridged the connection from the lower ground floor of "Mountain and Moon's" workshop up to the showroom. There exhibits no curved lines, with all straight edges and sharp corners. Further, by utilising cables to suspend the two upper staircases in midair, it evokes a sense of isolation.

Eighteen Sections

For the 18 sections required, the two designers chosen were "The_Kyza" (TOP) and "Mountain and Moon" (BOTTOM). Subsequently, the 6 words relating to the images are as follows, "sedate, slick, future" and "Constellation, enticing, cold-hearted" respectively.























As seen below, this section was decided to be used to create a 3D sketchup model. 




The Upper floor embodies the word "slick" and the Bottom floor involving "cold hearted." The upper floor will encompass more aluminium (Metal) and glass, creating a free flowing effect whilst the lower floor, similarly will embody glass and metal (aluminium) - however, is shaped to be more harsh and straight.

Renovated by Michelangelo between 1536-1546, the Capitoline Palaces, situated in Italy, Rome, represents the revival of classical architecture through a complex manipulation of cultural influence and reenactment of previous architecture. The trapezoidal piazza captured by the three palaces as well as the individual facades, is defined by a clear sense of eurythmy and symmetry. He's study of Vitrivius' treatise, "On Architecture," reoriented his ideology of the dynamics of architecture. As seen upon the facade of Palazzo Senatorio, Michelangelo harmonized the freedom of the human body to his architecture, where the "central elements are always free." His unique interplay of forms in structure creates a revolutionizing architectural harmony.



This is a day-time photo taken in Winter 2018 of Zhan Qiao Pier, Qingdao, China. It was originally established in 1892 with a width of 10 metres and a length of 200 metres, becoming the earliest military pier in the city. Upon the invasion of Germany, the pier was turned to be a freight pier. Upon further expansion and investments from the Chinese government, the length now stands 440 metres and overall heightened by 0.5metres. During the 1900s, the harbour was the major place for commodity transport and Zhan Qiao Pier served as an exclusive port for quarantining and piloting ships into the harbour. 


This is practical trial of my first time utilising oil paint as a source of artwork, idealising the harmonisation and merging between a slightly warm and cold colour. By keeping the artwork to only 3 base colours, the contrast between the far mountain range, clouds and snow was still made successfully.
