WEEK 3 | STAIR 1

In the process of brainstorming ideas for stairs,  one concept really interested me. Stairs are essentially bridges except for one thing; that stairs work in a inclined plane. This brought me to the Millennium bridge in London, a rather unique suspension bridge. For this stair design, steel is tensioned and anchored to the ceiling and floor, and glass treads are attached to the tensioned steel, creating a slanted suspension bridge.
