Steps and staircases

Brief

In the design of a building, steps and stairs are about so much more than just going up and down. Whether spiral, straight, wooden or metal‚ architects old and new have found infinite ways to weave them into their creations. Their infinite arrays of patterns and interactions lend themselves beautifully to abstract studies, and whilst spiral staircases are ever-popular, see how you might also break from convention and use the geometry of the step to surprise.
