    Description

    Stairs are a unique architectural feature that often provide a dramatic feature in architectural design. However, the toolset available in Revit software can make it quite difficult to reach the level of aesthetic expression that we desire, which leads to incomplete work-arounds and use of model-in-place families. Come on a journey with us through stair building in Dynamo, where we explore how to conceptualize the complex geometry and parts, think laterally about how to get there, and build our own bespoke project tool that results in a stunning stair. We’ll use Veliz Arquitecto’s architectural staircase in the Captive Space project in Cuba as a case study to explore, step by step, how to bring this magnificent design to life.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how to implement a process to translate sketch geometry into parametric form in Dynamo.
    • Learn how to simplify the production of complex repeated forms present in a stairs and other design features via Dynamo.
    • Learn how to evaluate the viability of a design before implementation with Generative Design.
    • Learn about other applications and integrations of computational form creation in your design process.
