While I was working on my apple, I developed this core to transmit the experience vertically through the Apple. I thought the forms created with the spiraling stairs and the spiraling glass were very intriguing and kind of cool.
In response to Anne and Paul...
You mean like this???!!!

Kerrick, could you do a double spiral stair rising opposite off each other? almost DNA like. Apple products are often used to create the building blocks of new ideas.
I like Paul's comment. I think this is your signature element, so you need to push it. Add landings, change directions, pull out of the cylindar shape. You can keep the stair essentially rising through the center, without forcing it to take the circular shape.
i am not sure that i agree about adding a second spiral. i think the beauty in the stair is the simplicity and the sculputural quality that it has.
If you are going to add a second stair, which I think is a very interesting idea, perhaps it is a different type of stair - i.e. a "private" stair for the staff to access the store room and their lounge and the repair/back of house area? It could be a different width and necessarily does need to access every floor. If not, how do the staff access the store room? It is not a particularly compelling argument to have them access a private space off a public stair.
I would urge you to, at least momentarily, depart from the "boundaries" of your Apple Core. Play. What happens if it is not an extrusion of a cylinder, but grows or diminishes in width or both?
It is not about achieving the "right answer" - it is about exploring variations on a theme and "testing" what each affords, etc. You have a tendency to be concerned with the product (i.e. you have a finished idea in mind and work towards developing that) and I think it would benefit you to consider what the process is benefitting you. You take the process to the next project. Not the product.
I don't like to process. I like to decide.
I don't mind at all that you like to decide. My concern is that you decide and then proceed (without "testing" and redeciding). It is difficult to know enough very early on to make a decision that is still "valid" after additional/new information has been obtained.
