STAIRS, a form of art.

If you ask any architect what is the most difficult thing to create and design one probable answer will be STAIRS!

Because an architect has to work with the space available there is no exact measurements when creating a stair, sure there are guidelines and recommended measurements but they rarely fit. The architect is then left with a ratio and lots of calculations to create a stair that allows a person to be comfortable going up and down, therefore, a stair cannot be too steep, the steps cannot be too high or too short, or too small to fit your feet.

Lately, stairs have become more than a difficulty but a form of art and to show creativity.

Modern stair

My favorite!! 

How would you feel entering the stairs?

Stairs and shelves 

Here the stairs blen in the wall and are almost invisible 

The spinal stairs

Prada's store in New York....the stairs are used as display and circulation space

Lots of storage

Where does it start and where does it end?
