Note: Throughout the class students will be demonstrating modeling techniques using SketchUp Make.

1. Using the scheme you developed in SketchUp (and inspired by the stairs shown in "THE STAIR" pdf) design two sets of stairs; one that goes from the above ground studio down to the showroom space and a second that comes from the below ground studio up to the showroom space.

2. Represent each stair with at least 2 sections. Keep all the notes, details and sections relating to each stair on one pair of facing pages. Or on two screens if you are using an iPhone, iPad or similar device.

3. In consultation with your tutor take another one of the sections created in the first studio session and design two sets of stairs for that scheme. Represent each of these new stairs with at least 2 sections.

Note: By the end of the studio session you will have at least 8 sections (representing 4 sets of stairs).

Complete the concept model of your stair by Sunday March 01, 11:59pm.

1. Select one of the stairs you designed in class to develop in 3d using SketchUp Make.

2. Try importing some 2d people into your scheme from the SketchUp 3d Warehouse, these will confirm the scale of the stair you are proposing.

3. Upload a maximum of 5 images of your stair along with the the pages from your notebook (or digital drawing tablet) showing your stair sections, to your blog.

4. To introduce your images on your blog post write a short (50-60 word) statement describing your concept.

IMPORTANT: make sure you save the SketchUp model in a safe place as it will be a part of your EXP1 submission.
