Piano Stairs

I usu­al­ly don’t do this (and now I’m try­ing hard not to sound like a spam­mer), but just yes­ter­day I was inspired by this video to look at dif­fer­ent ways in which muse­ums can use stairs and esca­la­tors to engage with their audi­ence.

It made me real­ize the stairs are an often over­looked piece of inte­ri­or design that offers us great oppor­tu­ni­ties. The Piano stairs is one of the most inspi­ra­tional things I’ve seen in weeks.

Fur­ther to the first reply; THE most impres­sive stair­case in terms of mar­riage between archi­tec­ture and sub­ject is the Peace Muse­um in Caen, Nor­mandy, France.
The main rooms of the muse­um are entered along a descend­ing spi­ral walk­way that is illus­trat­ed by chrono­log­i­cal­ly arranged images relat­ed to the events of the 1930s.
I have tak­en numer­ous school groups to the muse­um and I’ve always found the design of the build­ing and the con­nec­tion between a ‘down­ward spi­ral’ into the muse­um and the ‘down­ward spi­ral’ into war real­ly engages the stu­dents in the archi­tec­ture of the build­ing and the con­cept of the Europe’s descent into war in 1939.

It seems like u actu­al­ly know a great deal about this sub­ject mat­ter and this exhibits
