Design Detailing Graduate School - 1.5 Weeks

This exercise focused on turning an everyday experience into an exciting and engaging moment, such as going up and down a stairwell. The design draws upon the childhood act of running one’s hands or a stick along a fence as one passes by, creating a unique audible sound. In this case, references to the strings of a harp are used as a surface to strum as people move up and down the stairwell. The banister is made out of warm smoothed wood and contoured to cup the hand as it glides across the strings.
