The diagrams are much easier to read than last week in class. I am curious how your fire stairs will work in a building that is split into two parts. Will the ramp be the only means of vertical connection? Is it ADA? What happens along the ramps? You noted the experience was to be meditative - how is that achieved? prof. Jill
Looks great! Like the sketches and the ease of explaining the concept. Be sure to change "throught" to "throughout" to keep from detracting from your overall powerful message. Good comment prof. Jill. Make sure your stairs go no higher than 12'-0" before you locate a landing that is the same width as your stair.
As mentioned by the other commentators, how do you see the movement through the spaces as a meditative process? You could ask yourself how you spatially define a procession/progression through 'enclosed' and 'open'. It may help you to identify certain ritualistic actions/behaviors that require one or the other type of space: How does one move through those types of spaces, and how can that inspire the shape and feel of the spaces of your own project?
Also, the notion of it being a 'slow' journey is something to explore. How do you create slowness in a design?
