Week 2: Independent Study (The Stair)




''Delicate''




The staircase illustrating the word ‘delicate’ derived from BernabeifFreeman consists of rain drop like shapes suspended on a pole. This chosen specific shape was inspired by the fragile characteristic of rain droplets. As its form naturally narrows to a point, the suspension of the shapes on a bar creates an illusion of it gently and effortlessly hanging – perfectly encapsulating it’s delicate nature.  




''Vicious''


The staircase representing the word ‘vicious’ reflects Autofabrica’s motorcycle, mimicking its deadly and unpredictable nature to evoke exhilaration and fear shown through sharp and jagged edges. Similar to the bike’s dark tones, black and grey were used to mirror the vehicle’s dangerous beauty. Triangles were also specifically used because they join to create a rectangle – a more practical shape for steps on a staircase – which conversely imitates how the mechanisms of a bike too, have to work together to function as a whole.
