Assignment 2 proposal


  In assignment three, I’m planning to create a shady stairway , either by itself, or inside of skyscraper. According to this , I would like to choose the site at the corner of Castlereagh Street and King Street, and the expected view will be a significant shady stairway that goes from earth all the way up to sky in a certain designed shape which brings people great view of the city of Sydney.
  Of course I will face some problems when exploring this project, at this beginning stage, the first problem is : how could this shape sits in the middle of city of Sydney by itself or are there any environmental settings needed to support it in a natural way?
  The purpose of this study is to explore a design related way to combine a shady stairway model with buildings and streets in the middle of city of Sydney. It will be a concept of importing a stairway which could bring extraordinary views of the city of Sydney in a certain height off the ground.
  Depends on my experimented studies, my research question could be : Does the height of the stairway affect skyview? Which shape could be the best to fit the natural environments?





Methods & Procedures
  The main method to test element that I have mentioned in research questions is, of course, building iterations in grasshopper , besides this, importing model into 3ds Max to test the combined view is also an important step. It’s always important and efficient to test during explorations.

  What I want to achieve in this assignment is a stairway that perfectly sits in the middle of city of Sydney and provides great views from both ground to sky and sky to ground, and most importantly, suits environmental settings significantly.
