In architectural design, it is necessary to reasonably choose the form, material and construction method of stairs. Let's look at the classification of stairs in architectural design:
0 1 Run straight for the stairs
Straight stairs are often composed of two or more single stairs with a rest platform in the middle. Straight stairs have strong sense of direction and good spatial effect, and are often combined with atrium or courtyard to form rich spatial effect.
▼ Straight stairs and bright TINT further increase the orientation of space-Shanghai Children's Glass Museum in China
▼ Running straight stairs combined with atrium enhances the layering of atrium space-Stuttgart New Library
▼ Combination of Straight Ladder and Courtyard —— Suzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum
02 double running stairs
The double-running staircase consists of two steps with a rest platform in the middle. It is often used to evacuate stairs, and is often combined with atrium or building facade in design.
▼ Double running stairs combined with building facade design can often form a rich contrast between reality and reality.
"New Concord" Library —— The contrast between double stairs and entity is one of the common techniques used by the architect Meyer.

▼ A double staircase is set in the corner of the atrium to form a visual focus —— Shenzhen Longhua Art Museum and Library Competition Scheme
Run a few more stairs.
The multi-running stairs are composed of three or more stairs with a rest platform in the middle. This kind of staircase often forms a large staircase in the middle. After the multi-storey stairs are superimposed, they often have a strong sense of rhythm. Combined with the top light source, it forms a space with a sense of ceremony.

04 Parallel double division/double combination stairs
The first section of the parallel double staircase is centered and wide. After reaching the middle platform, divide it into two sides. The width of the second pass is usually half that of the first pass, and the combined width of the two sides is the same as that of the first pass. Generally used when there are many people and the ladder is wide. Because of its rigorous and symmetrical shape, it is often used as the main staircase of the lobby. Parallel double stairs are similar to parallel double stairs.

05 folding stairs
Folding stairs are usually composed of several non-parallel steps, which are often used in atrium, making the atrium space more lively and smart, and at the same time becoming the visual focus of the whole space.

▼ Folding stairs combined with covered bridges connect two different levels of space-Xi 'an Qujiang Book City.
06 Arc/spiral staircase
Curved/spiral stairs have a special artistic effect compared with straight lines because of the existence of curves.
▼ Arc stairs are symmetrically arranged in the lobby, forming a solemn atmosphere-Islamic Art Museum.
▼ The asymmetrical arrangement of the curved stairs makes the space more free and flexible.
Kobe Hyogo Prefectural Art Museum
▼ Main Library of Helsinki University
▼ Spiral stairs are circular on the plane, usually with a pillar supporting the fan-shaped pedal in the middle, which is often used in houses.
07 striding
Large steps are usually used in halls, atriums and other spaces, and are arranged in combination with performances and other functions.

▼ University of Dalana Multimedia Library
Various forms of stairs, combined with ramps, can often form a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, increasing the accessibility of each space.
