STAIRCASES

FIRST-YEAR, SECOND-SEMESTER UNDERGRADUATE REPRESENTATION COURSE

TAUGHT AT RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE SOA, SP ‘24

In this module, students visit existing staircases on campus, field measure and document them, and reproduce an accurately scaled three-dimensional model with dimensions. The stair is to be drawn to scale in a related series of orthographic drawings, which are eventually used to construct the detailed three-dimensional model. Every detail of the stair, down to the smallest bolt, must be drawn and modeled.
