Final Sketch Up Model



Download a copy of my Experiment 1 model from the Google Sketch up 3D warehouse.

Ascending the stair



Moving into the structure, across the stepping stone stair, past the gallery space, and ascending into the weathered interior of the obelisk

Descending Interior Stair




Coming down from the Duchamp composition space, embracing the void space across the contrasting smooth delicate circular stair case, being at peril with the lightness of the stair and the chasm that opens beneath the structure. Then preceding through down the stepping stone stairs past the mezzanine and hanging structure. Transitioning the viewing gallery and moving into the tunnel that takes you to the lower Da Vinci space, and finally looking down into the sharp pointed chasm that is the detailed Da Vinci space.
