Staircase no. 1 is my first and most favourite. It has a lot of potential to be a space of its own while retaining its function. This staircase is also designed to have ample space for the artist to work or display their artwork throughout the structure itself, enhancing a person's visual experience as they slowly climb along any direction.
Staircase no. 2 is greatly inspired by the staircase of the Centre Pompidou art gallery in Paris, France. The tubular structure itself should not be considered as a staircase, but rather one massive single tunnel that sneaks around the gallery space. The tunnel changes height at places, and be designed out of a transparent material to allow a person within to look out to the surroundings.
Staircase no. 3 is a clear tribute to the use of extensive pipe and tube infrastructure in the below-ground space (inspired by the chosen adjective - INDUSTRIAL) from my design's first draft. I call it a "waterfall" due to the slight but graceful curves wherever the pipe array bends into a stair tread or a stair riser. The stair is closely arranged to either the inner or outer wall of the below-ground space.
Staircase no. 4 can be used in either the above-ground or below-ground space due to its modular nature. The staircase is broken up into two main components, one of which is further broken down into individual piping units that join at random locations across the gallery space.
