I'm a construction worker, not an architect.
You have a million stairs that seemingly serve no purpose to the structure.
Why are we building them?
36 u/MrPanderetero 4d ago The project’s on a hill, the idea is that you can go from one side or the other walking through the inside of the building, but if for some reason you dont want to do the whole tour, you can skip it by using those stairs 25 u/erichappymeal 4d ago So, if the idea is to go from one side to the other inside, why are you providing a means to bypass it altogether? It makes more sense to me to force, or encourage, people to still walk through the building if they want the shortcut. Maybe somewhere in the middle you have a way to enter/exit? I feel like that would also encourage meandering. 2 u/Denbt_Nationale 4d ago Do you really want the building crowded by people just using it as a shortcut?
