We reviewed Neo Studio's work of the 'Travelling between two platforms'. They showed us two stairs, one which was called the scissors stair (Garden city) and 2 in 1 stair (Crumbling city). For both stairs they experimented with a range of random geometric shapes to form a whole which would become their stair.
For the 2 in 1 stair they wanted to make it multifunctional to that other than having the use of transportation between two levels, it could also be used such as a table, a space where people can hang out, and/or for storage. They showed on the diagram that if the stairs were to be taken apart, they would form a geometrically square table that could be used in any form of way and people/objects could occupy the rest of the space.
For the scissor stairs, they wanted to create a sense of relaxation and a very smooth integration with the environment that they were going to inhabit so they used water as apart of their design. To put the idea of smooth integration into their design, the material that they used was stone/pebble with water flowing down it to create a walking track that would lead the travellers to their hotel.
As for their hotels, the garden city will be individual huts/lodges and the ruined city will have a road going through their hotels so that apart of the city will be included in the hotel as well.
Neo studio's work was very clean and to the point so it was not hard to identify what was going on even if the group was not around to show us.
