Infinite Mountain Stairs

This project is about building density by keeping the infinite 
stairs identity of LA and I do this by inhabiting the infinite stairs. 
The building is a scaled up stair, and is articulated at the edges 
of the site. In order to do that I worked with modules. First, 
there are four types of space relationships of courtyard houses 
between rooms and yards which I identify as the relationship 
between public and privacy creating a spectrum of conditions 
from the intimate to the public.
Another aspect of LA housing typology is the yard, in order to 
add a yard, I bring the roof to the ground, so the space under 
the roof here is under 7 feet which can be defined as public open 
space, then I add stairs on the roof so I can use roofs as a mean 
of transportation too.
My mission is to break through the boundary of the small living 
space of concrete box and to provide people living in the highrise buildings with an experience of living in nature, like walking 
freely in the mountains.
