Stair Exercise

Objective:

To gain competency in using the stair tool as a means of communicating multiple styles of stairs in an interior design project.

Execution:

Design 3 unique stairs -- outside of a modeled building environment. The three must be different types (spiral, circular, switch-back, L-Shaped, U-Wide, etc.) and one must be a monumental stair.

Each stair must span a floor to floor height of 15 feet.

Landings must be included, where necessary, and stairs must meet code requirements.

Submission Requirements:

Each stair must be on its own 11x17 sheet with titleblock.  The 11x17 sheet must show the stair in a 3D axon, plan, and elevation view.  Scale will be determined by your individual stair and how it best fits on the sheet. View style for the 3D view is at your discretion, but the elevation and plan must use Hidden Line mode. 

Combine the 11x17 sheets into one single pdf and submit it to Blackboard by 5pm on Friday, March 1st.  No late work will be accepted, and incorrectly submitted assignments will receive an automatic deduction of 10 points.

It is in your best interest to do as much as you can with the stairs -- above and beyond assignment requirements.
