I've seen some strange stairways before, but this is one that should have stayed a concept. This aluminum and metal staircase by architects Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann is suspended from the side of a building. No enclosure, no hand rail, no visible safety of any kind.
More than many other strange stairways, Lang and Baumann's creation is striking and intriguing. Cool? Yes. But this is the point where strange stairways go from terrific to terrifying.
Implications - Believe it or not, this scary, yet stunning staircase by Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann is as real as it gets. The metal steps are dangerous yet aesthetically alluring to the artful eye.
