Stairs. Labour and happiness in architecture

Abstract

Being an integral and necessary element of buildings and structures, stairs is considered not from the common point of view of regulation and construction, but in the presumption of the existence independent of our will, as if we knew nothing about stairs and, first seeing them, began to master them with surprise and inspiration. It seems that such a view is capable of discovering the new in the familiar.
