EXP 1: SketchUp-Louise Bourgeois building & stairs

Noun: Vulnerability
Verb: Exposed 
Adjective: Grotesque 


So I decided to develop from my first SketchUp model, even though it wasn't my favourite. I initially assigned that design for Magnus Walker, aiming to recreate a retro warehouse of extruded boxes. Instead, I decided to switch clients to Louise Bourgeois, but still use the same design. Her workshop, however would be placed underground, to give it an eery feeling. I have decided to continue using this design because the boxes give a feeling of enclosure and suffocation, similarly to her sculptures. Furthermore, there is a sense of exposure and vulnerability with the small windows.

3DWAREHOUSE link:  https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/1ba3844a-2b15-4a0b-8ca6-c77973f6372d/ARCH1101 Louise Bourgeois Workspace   Stairs: I did two types of stairs. The base of the stairs, where the clients walk don't change, but the railings and what supports the walkway does. Staircase with railway  Hanging staircase  The staircases with railings are the main means to moving within her workshop, and also essentially define the different subspaces. The end of the staircases defines a new room. The hanging staircase are the stairs connecting her workspace (Below ground level 1) and the showroom (Ground level). Unlike the stairs within her workspace, this one is outside of the workspace, signifying this sense of vulnerability as she heads towards the showroom. This is also represented in the change of railing, and what support the staircase. There is a lack of support whilst walking, unlike the railings of the staircases within her workshop.
