Most of these stair designs are ARCHITECTURAL WET DREAMS. They are not safe, not designed properly, children and senior cant use them. They do not conform to any building codes I know of and are only designed to look good in a magazine article.
Franz…. enjoy life ! Live dangerously. Stop whining on.
Hee, hee…I was just venting because the Canadian building code doe sent allow me to design dangerously. I don’t whine, I wine – and speak the truth.
Sad but true – they look great, something to dream about.
you should include some stairs designed by Eduardo Souto de Moura. Paulo Mendes da Rocha has designed some beautiful stairs as well.
I hava headaches on seeing morphosis’s one … aouch …
Franz, I’ve seen people falling down on safest built stairs with dozens of codes and over safety measures, it depends on how careful you use the stairs not the stair design.
That’s exactly my point, I design so everyone…my 2 year old grandchild and my 88 year old mother can function as safely as possible. If I designed a residence just for myself I would never have to walk down stairs again, I’d slide… :^)
If I can’t text and use the stairs, what’s the point?
