HYBRID STAIRS
FROM COMPOSITE STAIRS TO PROTOTYPES
ARCHITECTONICS II, THE COOPER UNION, SPRING 2023
PROFESSORS: BENJAMIN ARANDA, THEODORE BAAB
INDIVIDUAL WORK
Begin by designing two initial prototypes, establishing a foundation for subsequent development. Next, is the study of GSD Gund Hall and Ben Gurion Airport, meticulously an-alyzing spatial configurations and circulation dynamics. The insights gained from these analyses will guide the iterative refinement of the initial prototypes, ensuring that the spatial characteristics identified in the prece-dents are effectively incorporated.
Then, students are asked to applied these refined prototypes to transform the circulation system of an existing building located in Long Island City, NY.
