This is a superbly illustrated case study exploring how architects and designers employ stairs. Stairs represent one of the most important elements of building design, yet they are also one of the most overlooked. When designed well, stairs are both functional and fashionable; they can create dialogue between adjoining spaces that adds to the character of the design as a whole. "Case Study: Stairs" is a superbly illustrated volume that provides a detailed look at some of the most creative and or iginal concepts in the field. Filled with full-colour photography and detailed architectural plans and drawings, alongside discussions on how the architects and designer approached each project, this is must-have resource.
