The muse for this staircase a current installation of Do Ho Suh at the Tate Modern Gallery Day as "Staircase III". Staircase-III is a short flight of 12 steps that begin in the air and surface on the ceiling of the Tate Gallery. Only meant sculptural and not to be functional, the staircase with a lake in the way of ultra-thin balustrade and a thin pad of continuous processes is developed. The vibrant red of Suh '; s soaring poetic and inspiring so it is no wonder that the client requested a. floating staircase that made the art installation Do Ho Suh. The final result of Diapo is a work of art in itself.
The necessary the customized design specifications for a split-level house for access to the second level will be developed. The application for a staircase that creation was suspended from the upper level with no visible structural support and due to the fact they are so much loved the Do Ho Suh, they wanted to have the goal of an equivalent red used in his installation.
The starting point, which is necessary, decided was the choice of material. It had to be very lightweight and durable. It is needed to some kind of transparency to spend tribute to the gauzy attractiveness of Do Ho Suh piece and it is necessary to have a sculptural aesthetic.
The material of choice was a perforated steel mesh, the perforations cut his laser would have a completely accurate repetition of the pattern. The perforations would serve the purpose. They would provide the transparent effect - allows the stairs user or viewer the opportunity to see on the structure, and also to reduce the perforations the total weight of steel lattice structure. The lightweight mesh allows the prefabricated staircase be constructed as a singular unit and just before it suspended hiding place off of steel beams on the ceiling in the bar on the 2nd floor.
5 x 4 meter perforated steel plates are exactly where used to generate a seamless transition between stages, risers and railings. The treads and risers using a continuous web of 5mm hole and folded steel plate, which runs along the entire length of the stairwell.
This run is a vertical hole balustrade serving as hanging help as properly as the staircase stringers attached. The lateral load on the stairs by a mixture of plate bending and membrane performance is deflected. These two structural features create tension forces in the balustrade, which are then transmitted to the hidden steel beams in the ceiling.
The light structure is designed to structure-borne sound, but light be in perception, the lack of a visible framework program and the bold use of cadmium Red give the staircase an exclusive artistic good quality, interest rates having been always overbearing commands.
The curved steel fabrics are used to develop the structure provides a rhythm and texture quality of the design that you want to reach out and touch it makes.
While the bottoms of most staircases are superimposed in the shade, the perforations of this fitting design allows light to pass. The only shadow cast will be those developed by fascinating and interesting patterns by the laser-cut pattern of the network.
The recessed lights along the stairway wall produce a reflective gloss of Cadmium Red finish that reflects and bounces the light in many directions generating added depth and dimension as this particular one of a kind functional sculpture.
to develop with all the necessary, this staircase curves, the lack of visible support structure essential to a manufacturing method, which involved an introduction to the technical aspect of the engineers and highly skilled metalworkers that could develop a final product of precision craftsmanship.
12 installed with the final product, the only addition to this interactive art style, which was not supplied by Diapo, is the human element. Supplying the homeowners and their guests that the critical function. Diapo
