Second Sketchup Draft

Above ground/ground plane - Heston Blumenthal: Juxtaposition.


 Below ground - Revival Cycles: Stare

The above ground component is a sandwich composition of aluminium plate treads contrasted by filling with earth planted with grass so that the grass fills the vertical risers. The building as a whole becomes a staircase and blends into the surrounding environment, shocking the viewer as they approach.
The below ground section is raw cast concrete with exposed seams. The staircase is coretan steel.

I developed this model from two of my original sketches.
The above component is based off the juxtaposition sketch.

The underground component is based off the stare sketch.
