Where do stairs begin and end?
It can be argued that stairs do not have a beginning or an
end. We can see an example of this in
the etchings of Piranesi. He creates
stairs that seem to have no beginning or end; they just disappear off the
page. Then we have the reference from
the movie, Inception when two of the
characters are walking on a set of stairs continuously without noticing that
they are at going anywhere. But a much
clearer way to answer this question is to say that stairs begin with a rise and
end with a tread. The tread that one who
end with would be a floor or maybe even a landing if you think about it.
