1:1 Model Detail

For my final 1:1 model, I decided to focus on the structure of the spiral and how it connects and joins to the floor of the office. I decided to go with steel piping as it is very strong and is able to bend, thus creating a spiral. The steel piping spiral is in a latticework formation that will provide strength as a singular spiral will not be structurally sound.

The detail contains two steel pipes either side of the main structural beam, this helps support the building and floor. The steel lattice also goes through the floor extending to the roof, which I think adds an effect when inside the office as you can see the structural latticework. The angle of the pipes indicate the top of the spiral, as it extends through the floor, each spiral, 5 in total is bolted to a beam in this manner.
