Description
Two architects, presented with the solid and busy (if unprepossessing) ordinariness of the narrow turn of a staircase introduce a series of planes formed of tensely strung filament (like the wires in a piano carcass). They heighten an awareness of the nature of the space and what it means to pass through it, upwards or downwards.
