Amongst the many images I was lucky to capture in a London shoot back in August, I couldn't help but notice this particular comp where the staircase looks like the number 6

Since the anteroom of the staircase has only a normal room height, the development of the staircase can only be seen when you stand just in front of it and look up. From a distance, the geometry of the long staircase, each of which goes over two floors, would be recognizable in such a way that the end of the lower staircase railing with its slope directly adjoins the now opposing slope of the upper continuing staircase with the railing.
The forced close viewing situation lets the lower protruding railing cover the upper railing so about half and so an overfolding arises, which reminds in the end perhaps of the form of an "M" (reminds also of the artful folding of a napkin).
The architectural photographer rarely has the opportunity to shape such a spatial situation into a photographic two-dimensional surface graphic.
Da der Vorraum der Treppe nur eine normale Raumhöhe hat, kann man die Entwicklung der Treppe erst erkennen, wenn man kurz vor ihr steht und nach oben schaut.
Von weitem würde die lange Treppe, die jeweils über zwei Etagen geht in ihrer Geometrie erkenbar sein, so, dass das Ende des unteren Treppengeländers mit seiner Schräge direkt an die nun gegenläufige Schräge der oberen weitergehenden Treppe mit dem Geländer anschließt.
Die erzwungene nahe Betrachtungssituation lässt das untere vorstehende Geländer das obere Geländer so ungefähr zur Hälfte überdecken und so entsteht eine Überfaltung, die letztendlich vielleicht an die Form eines "M" erinnert (erinnert auch an die kunstvolle Faltung einer Serviette).
Die Gelegenheit eine solche Raumsituation zu einer fotografischen zweidimensionalen Flächengrafik zu gestalten hat der Architekturfotograf selten.

auch dieses Treppenhaus gibt es in München zu sehen
damit verabschiede ich mich für dieses Jahr - wünsche allen einen guten Rutsch
The staircase is a work of art in itself. The covering consists of mosaic stones, which are largely applied by hand. For chief architect Alessandro Mendini, the stairs also had a symbolic function. In traditional museum buildings, visitors usually go up the stairs. The underlying idea is that art is superior to the everyday. Mendini turned this around: you have to go downstairs to view the art.
Taken last summer when I was doing a lot of experimenting with ICM images. I entered it into a friendly competition in my camera club where instead of a judge we had the members cast votes to score an image. Suffice to say that this was NOT a favourite with my fellow club members. But I like the look of it so here it is.
