Premise

Several elements build architecture, which sometimes is even tough to list. These elements can include compound objects like walls, floor, roof, to smaller parts like lights, furniture, or maybe tiles.

The designs for these elements are changing from project to project – but their presence has been consistent across various applications and locations. Any building within the world isn’t complete without elements like door, window, stairs, – and these elements are extremely templatized. Call it for manufacturing ease or maybe to hurry up the development times – these elements are mostly fixed into buildings like blocks.

However – the power to tap into these elements is one among the crucial ways a building interacts with people.

The building form may look all inspiring and elating. Yet, people use a building with its doors – windows, and staircases.

If manufacturing ease may be a justification to overlook these finer elements, when can we learn to style these to deliver unique architecture experiences?

Brief

With a struggle to balance modularity architectural experiments focus tons on optimization, we are skipping on the planning possibilities on each of those elements during a way offered.

There are many examples round the world who magnify these elements to plan architectural marvels that transcend decades of memory and awe. From India Gate to the vessel, despite the timeline – architecture has not always been only about rooms but more.

The design challenge here is to use the element of a staircase – to plan an architectural scale building employing all its form characteristics and properties.

This can involve 3D volume, Shape, Proportion, Gravity, Structure, Usage, Etymology, almost everything that creates staircases special.

It is highly recommended to review the past and therefore the futuristic use cases just like the grand roman staircases to their replacements like escalators – etc. to decipher qualities which will be a neighborhood of your architecture outcome
