Blending in

I started to think about how i could puncture these stairs i have created to create enterances into the building or onto balconys or exterior spaces etc.

Firstly i used curves to contrast with the very linear angular geometry. This seemed to work quite well and seemed to fit in with the rest of the building.

 

Below is an interior shot just simply showing the above concept from a different view and how it would effect the interior space.

 

The next example was to use the same method employed in the example above but with linear elements. This proved quite effective and creates an optical illusion (one which is most apparent in the next example for the auditorium space). This example however i pictured could be used for the bar or cafe area on an upper floor where the buildings exterior steps open up to the outside space where a number of steps have formed to create a balcony space for external seating etc.

I then experimented with inverting the direction of the slope of steps to create the enterance way. the result was not as effective as the first but did produce a good example of a window where more light is needed or where, for example, attention needs focused for display purposes etc so this way could be incorporated throughout the building.

I then began a new idea for the auditorium, obviously due to the sheer height it would not be possible to create steps all the way over the building as it would sacrifise too much of the interior space to allow this however i did not want to just stick a large box on top of this stepped landscape i have created thus far as it would ruin the asthetic i have created and want to keep. So i modelled this idea of continuing these steps however making them unclimbable and alsowithout sacrifising any interior space. so starting with a box 20m x 20m then 8m tall. I then began creating steps that would create an optical illusion by at one side begin gradually getting bigger (working our way from the top to the bottom) and all meeting at a edge which does not extrude from the building. The result was a form which fits into the rest of the building and creates a curved geometry from using straight angular geometry (brustalist) arguing the point of creating organic forms using brutalist methods.
