Form and Space Week 7



One of the most unique ways to use space is through spiral staircases. What I love is that through the use of spiral staircases, we have created an appealing, yet still functional piece of art. While these staircases are still functional, I don't like climbing up and down them because I feel very unsteady being able to see the ground and see through the stairs. But the concept of a spiral staircase is a unique way to preserve space and be appealing to the eyes.

Looks like the golden spiral that we learned about in principles of design.

I love the depth preception I get from it. It seems the spiral goes on for days. It also defies 3D perspective.
