The hands-on exhibit will present a number of core lessons in stair design:
mechanics; safety; and materials. It will also explore stairway shapes and external adornments.
As it examines how body mechanics intersect with stair mechanics, the exhibit will address
accessibility issues (alternatives for people with disabilities, such as escalators, elevators,
and ramps). Mounted on a table 4' by 8' in diameter, the multi-level exhibit will measure
approximately five feet from the floor to its highest point. It will be accessible to all,
including people who use wheelchairs. Participants will be able to move around it, interacting
with it from each of its four sides. The lower levels will serve as a platform for the hands-on
activities and a series of laminated pull-out cards offering visuals and text of stairways in
history, myth, and literature. Models of a variety of classic stairways will climb from one
level to the next.
