Staircase:
People often say that "Good things always comes from the first step of your work" and if you consider first step like that when you enter a house, Its the Staircase. Just think about the time of 17th & 18th centuries.... if somebody wouldn't design it earlier, people would never think of storied buildings at that time logically. Things changed now alot from our generation, today we barely use a staircase which is replaced by many other applications. But from architectural view, staircase was always an ornament to a building for Aesthetic value.

In 1960's, A Filipino Architect Rafael Nelson created a mysterious staircase at the Rochester Institute of Technology which was the physical version of The Esterian Stairwall (TES) and more interesting thing is when this staircase was finished, he disappeared very mysteriously. So, nobody actually never found out how he possibly made that physical version of TES. There are millions of logics and physical explanation of how he did it but nobody still couldn't make a copy of his masterpiece. Today i wanna share a documentary about that staircase to show you The Esterian Stairwall myth:

Thank you. That's all for today.....
