The purpose of this project was to design a stair from the study and abstraction of a geometric shape. Inspired by the language of the stalagmites, it segments itself in layers that overlap. As a result, creates the stairs and the spaces to transit and inhabit.
Stalagmite is a cave-like stair that breaks all schemes of a typical stair, an element meant as a transitional space. It becomes a place to wander through it and explore. Also, it engages the user with an unusual architecture, that reflects an element of nature, the cave.
