EXERCISE 1.12: 3D CAD
Test software to produce more 2D imagery and/or try out a 3D CAD programs to build a 3D model of your stair scheme. NOTE: This is a 3D model I created with Vectorworks, I selected the stair tool and added the walls
EXERCISE 1.11: DESIGN
In this exercise you will draw on your research to generate ideas which can shape your own design scheme for the space created under your stairs on your model. Use these questions to stimulate your inspiration. Make notes and doodle sketches as you consider all the options you can. What use can it offer? WhoContinue reading “EXERCISE 1.11: DESIGN”
EXERCISE 1.10: RESEARCHING IDEAS
Research as many design ideas for under stair spaces as you can. Do this in two different ways – using primary research through which you gather your own information, and secondary research in which you compile information and ideas from other people’s primary research. NOTE: In this exercise for the primary research I took someContinue reading “EXERCISE 1.10: RESEARCHING IDEAS”
EXERCISE 1.9: SIMPLE STAIR
NOTE: The scale requested is 1:25 which means 1cm on the drawing represents 25cm in reality. Each tread is 25x60x5 and for those like me who always mistake the first two numbers they are respectively WIDHT, LENGHT and the last number is of course the depth. Then I had to make two big final treads,Continue reading “EXERCISE 1.9: SIMPLE STAIR”
1.8 SCORE AND SNAP
Video Thin acrylic, styrene sheet or similar can be scored with your scalpel (again multiple times without too much pressure) then snapped along the score line by placing on a surface such as a table and snapping over its edge.
EXERCISE 1.7: CUTTING
Video NOTE: I had a lot of fun doing this, I can’t wait to do some more.
TOOLS USED FOR EXERCISE 1.7, 1.8,1.9

EXERCISE 1.6: COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN
In this exercise you will draw a plan view of a room or series of rooms using a computer. A plan view looks directly down onto a space, usually depicting the floor and the objects in contact with it. It is a ‘flat’ drawing as opposed to a perspective view. NOTE: Vectorworks is the softwareContinue reading “EXERCISE 1.6: COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN”
TOOLS USED FOR EXERCISE 1.6, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12
-LAPTOP -SKETCHBOOK (to write down all the developments and tips for the softwares) -PEN -A LOT OF TIME AND PATIENCE (these professional design softwares aren’t a joke, they’re serious and technical they require a lot of patience, keep in mind that you will be sitting down doing absolutely nothing for even 40 minutes trying toContinue reading “TOOLS USED FOR EXERCISE 1.6, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12”
