The staircase - a step in the right direction 👉🚶♂️🚀
What influences our decision to choose one path over another? And what physical components provide both movement and pause simultaneously?
The staircase serves a multifaceted purpose, extending beyond its function of guiding us from one place to another. It not only serves as a practical structure, but also holds symbolic significance that reflects society's values and norms. Through its presence and design, it shapes our relationship with space and with others 🤝
Often, our thoughts are directed by routine and habit. We may automatically choose the elevator instead of the stairs. However, a well-designed staircase can act as a gentle nudge, encouraging spontaneous movement and interactions in our daily lives. It is not just a design choice, but a means of promoting an active lifestyle and overall well-being, both physically and mentally. By facilitating social connections that promote equality, health, and accessibility, the staircase plays a vital role in creating spaces for a better quality of life ❤️
Many of our educational and recreational projects are designed with elements that encourage individuals to take more steps in the right direction 🚶
