BEAUTIFUL ARTISTIC STAIRS!

Abandoning the flat canvas of buildings, some street artists take to the stairs, transforming them into magnificent works of urban art. It doesn't matter whether it's with paint, plants, mosaics or wallpapers - the end goal is beauty, shared and enjoyed by all. This phenomenon is not a localized one and is happening all around the world. Here are some of the best. Enjoy! :)

Here Are More Beautiful Artistically Designed Stairs :)

Staircase at Lello Bookshop Portugal - This interesting grand staircase in Lello Bookshop in Portugal stands ominous and heavy. The steps are like two channels pouring and swirling to a single point. The side view gives you a closer idea of the immense curves and giddy sinking feeling to each step. Universe Cascade Scotland - Cascade universe located on the hillside along the gardens of Dumfries in Scotland and consists of a series of steep steps. Large sites with viewing benches were installed on each flight. You can simply enjoy the beauty of nature, or relax while lifting. Staircase begins at the pond and leads to a beautiful pavilion upstairs. Although private gardens, they open to the public once a year. Stairs Awaji in Japan - Awaji Yumebutai (Ladder of Dreams) is a complex of buildings and other structures located on the island of Awaji in Japan. One set is 100-Awaji tier garden, consisting of 100 beds and stairs. The complex was built as a memorial to the Great Hanshin Earthquake (1995). Construction was carried out on the side of the mountain, which was half demolished in the early 90s. Its stones were used during the construction of artificial islands in the Bay of Osaka. Tiger Turtle Stairs Germany - This sculpture is 21 meters tall and was named Tiger Turtle, it is located on a hillside in Duisburg, Germany. Steps meander along the frame of steel in a spiral manner, culminating in a dead loop. Visitors can climb the ladder in Duisburg, but not in the center of the loop that allows you to go full circle. Steel Sculpture Art Germany - is a wonderful peace of art designed by Olafur Eliasson. This beautiful merging of art and architecture is a 9 meter-high walk-double spiral of steel in the entrance of the KPMG (a global accounting firm) office building in Munich, Germany. The stair is called Umschreibung (Rewriting), and was completed in 2004. Miraculous Staircase of USA - This is the miraculous staircase of Saint Joseph at Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. U.S.A., which, after 134 years since it was built in 1878, still confounds architects, engineers, and master craftsmen in the physics of its construction and remains inexplicable in view of its baffling design considerations. The unusual helix shaped spiral staircase has two complete 360 degree turns, stands 20 feet high up to the choir loft and has no newel (center pole) to support it as most circular stairways have. Its entire weight rests solely on its base and against the choir loft - a mystery that defies all laws of gravity, it should have crashed to the floor the moment anyone stepped on it, and yet it is still in use daily for over a hundred years. The risers of the 33 steps are all of the same height. Made of an apparently extinct wood species, it was constructed with only square wooden pegs without glue or nails. At the time it was built, the stairway had no banisters. These were added 10 years later in 1888 by Phillip A. Hesch at the Sisters' request. Spiral Staircase at Garvan Institute in Sydney - This amazing spiral staircase is located at the Garvan Institute in Sydney, Australia. It is five stories high and makes your head spin about 6.5 revolutions. Fascinating spiral stairs at Garvan Institute in Sydney, Australia. 6.5 revs and five stories from top to bottom. Steps in Canyon - This famous staircase in the Canyon is located near the waterfall Pailon del Diablo in Ecuador. Pailon del Diablo - quite a large waterfall in the distance just 30 minutes from the city of Banos in Ecuador. This is one of the most popular attractions in the area. Visiting Ecuador, certainly conquer this unique descent. Museum Muse Gustave Moreau, Paris - Now this is how you make an entrance. It is no surprise that this spectacular staircase is located in the Paris Museum Muse Gustave Moreau, named after the famous painter Docteur Moreau.
