The Art of Staircases

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This volume is a complete study of staircases, from technical details and calculations to full schemes.
Works by recognised and emerging architects are used to explain in detail how to design treads, structural systems, widths, banisters, proportions, materials, etc.
In addition to their functional role of providing vertical communication, staircases can be a major feature of designs and a structural element in buildings.
