TIME MACHINE: BUDAPEST STAIRCASES

The staircase in an apartment block is a vertical street, a part public/part public route which is as much about representation as access. Balint Alovits' photos of spiralling Budapest stairs give an impression of infinity, a sense of swirling vertigo but they also underline the architectural invention and thought that was applied to what might otherwise have been purely functional.

With thanks to Balint Alovits.
