Om boken

This book seeks to reveal the diversity of today's staircases. The form is the starting point for every staircase, so the book opens with an explanation of the most basic forms, illustrated with architectural drawings and photos. The next chapter is devoted to the reinforced concrete, metal, wood, metal, glass and combinations of these materials. Finally, there is an examination of details, such as banisters and steps, to highlight the elements that give a staircase its distinctive personality.
