The first in Academy's new Detail in building series which looks at a particular feature of a building. This book examines ten key examples of stair design that are both excellent in design and successful in practice. Among the cases studied in detail are designs by Eva Jiricna, Richard Rogers, Phillip Johnson and Richard Meier. Each case study is analyzed through large-scale detail drawings and photographs. Maritz Vandenberg describes the genesis of the stair and, historical revision of the stair as a design element of fundamental necessity. There are also detailed texts on each case study.
