I have photographed many staircases but this one from Prague is a remarkable piece in my collection.

The staircase is located in Nova Scena, a theatre building constructed around 1980 in so-called Brutalist architecture style. Even though the origin of Brutalist is not "brutality" I find the staircase looks a bit brutal with all its edges and the monstruous, almost terrifying chandelier 😄

A brutalist building in Ciney Belgium

All the angles reminded me of the brutalist movement.

Here's one from Chicago. Brutalist architecture tends to have a lack of concern to look comfortable or easy.

Hope your Saturday is both comfortable and easy.
