The two images above are stairwells from Hannahs factory. One at the base of the building one a fire escape on the side of the building. These images, although interesting, confirmed what I said earlier about flipping from portrait to landscape, so that the view of the 'ground plane' is greater and the 'walls panels' seem higher, altering the scale. The length of the ground as apose to the height of the wall is stronger as it gives the observer a clearer view of where they are standing in the space. I also like how it alters the sense of scale as you do not know how tall the space is. The first image is enclosed and is stronger then the second, but again the space seems small due to the orientation of the photo. The hand rail tI though at first glance looked like a kerb, but after looking at it it becomes obvious that it is in fact a hand rail, due to the fixtures to the wall, disrupting the illusion of space.
The second photo I found interesting, and at first glance, again, it looks like a space; but once you begin to dissect the photo you see that the features on the ground are in fact pipes and the scaffolding above is the handrails of the stairs.
This one is similar to the one above it as it has odd features on the ground floor. It also shows a small section of the stairwell which means it is going away from my concept.
This photo is interesting and I would have liked to have discovered this through more exploration earlier; but it is the first feature like this that I have photographed. Above the fire escape stairs there was a small ledge with exposed floor joists which, when flipped, looked like wall framing. This is something that I would have liked to explore more, what else could I manipulate to look like a wall and floor? Also, what I could possibly manipulate to look like stairs? These are definately things I would have liked to look at more if I had more time for this project.
