Stairs in old brewery on Trøjborg

This was made in 2008. The task was to work with stairs and work with stairs as a main element in an abandoned brewery in the northern part of Aarhus called Trøjborg.

I decided to put a strong element in the middle of the room: a glass box containing the stairs, which would lead people from the floor beneath my project area and up to a green roof. At night the top of the glas box would be a light box.  The glass box brings light into the room, it works as a decorative element and has a function: to get people from a to b. The stair case would be a very simple steel construction padded in a dark rubber. The floor should be in dark granite. I thought the building as a green project house, which could work as a café/education/project area and a house where people could come and hang out. A green community center. Inside the glass box there would be green climbers of different sorts.
