For vertical circulation we went back some earlier research on the distortion of the standard triangluated grid (our material system). By using partivle collisions we were able to distort the grid to show movement paths (animate process producing a static representation). From this we folded the part of the grid uneffected by the collision to create balustrade, then rotated to create the stairs. The following diagrams show the process of applying this process and the end result.
1. standard grid
2. force moving across the grid
3. effect of force on the grid
4. folding the uneffected by collision
5. rotating to create vertical circluation
6. resultant form without distortion shown
