Stairs are a fundamental and universal feature of buildings. The
late Alan Blanc had a lifetime's obsession with stairs and steps
and provided a definitive reference source that bridges the
aesthetic and practical aspects of staircase design. His wife
Sylvia, who worked with him on the first edition, presents this
updated, abridged version alongside a complimentary web site where
the historical elements of the subjects are described and discussed
in pictures and diagrams. The book is a practical guide to
designing circulation spaces. It is extensively detailed with
working drawings and photographs. Construction methods using a
variety of materials are discussed as well as the influence of new
technology on vertical circulation. The guidance on codes and
regulations covers the UK and US. The latest high profile
international case studies inspire and inform the reader.
