WEEK 2 NOTE 2 SOME STAIRS...

The important think for you to think of is not just the form of the stairs but
Their rhythm – Pace of movement
Dimension, geometry and profile

Are they enclosed, exposed…
How their descend and ascend
Stairs mediate AND connect planes so think of them as a habitable threshold
