The stairs we climb up and down every day,
Stairs are not just simple structures.

Famous architects have spoken about stairs in this way. 

Also, depending on their width or height,They can dramatically transform a space, Arouse curiosity, and inspire us.

Artistic staircases

• From the works of artist Olafur Eliasson to the story of the stairs in Squid Game,
• Space Walk in Pohang, created by German artists Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth and sponsored by POSCO,
• The secret behind the red stairs in New York's Times Square,
• And the stairs of Escher and Penrose that have inspired many,

Stairs in nature,

• Stairs built to bring us closer to nature,
• The ancient city of Sigiriya atop a 370m-high rock,
• The crayfish-shaped stairs in Italy's finest garden,
• Chand Baori and ziggurats, which have inspired artists and the media,

Everyday stairs,

• Observing the meaning of stairs in traditional Korean architecture
• A staircase like a secret space tailored to children's perspectives.
• Buildings where the staircase became the main design element.
• Stories of hidden staircases in Villa Savoye and Farnsworth House.

Why? 

Staircases have endless possibilities,
but in everyday life, they are often regarded merely as a means of vertical movement.

However, a staircase is a special element in itself.

• Psychological effect: As we climb the stairs, our emotions and thoughts also change.
• Sense of space: The design of a staircase can change the feel of a space.
• Artistic approach: A staircase is not just a simple structure; it can become a creative work of art.
• Practical use: If you know the form and usage of a staircase, you can completely change the sense of space in your home or office.

Maker IntroductionHello, this is Byblank.

Byblank collaborates with expert designers, architects, and photographers from various fields, based on the belief that 'everything has a creator.' We also focus on the spaces we live in, listening to the diverse stories contained within everyday spaces.

We have explored things that have been overlooked in architecture, such as photo books capturing the perspective of photographers, <Wall and Wall> about modular architecture, and <Naturally> featuring stories of young architects.

Q. Why are you doing Wadiz funding?

Byblank has been striving to present architecture, which often feels difficult, in a new and interesting way. The photo book series showcased a new side of architectural photography, making architecture more accessible in everyday life. <Between Walls> explained the concept of modules through interviews.

Many people think architecture is difficult, complex, and distant from us. However, we believe architecture is not far away, anyone can observe it, and there are interesting things to discover when you look closely. We have collected stairs, which are often overlooked in architecture but hold important meaning. We hope this becomes an opportunity to explore interesting architecture in your busy daily life.

Q. Does it contain professional content??

<Just Stairs> is designed for a wide range of ages, from children to adults. Easy-to-understand illustrations and speech bubbles add to the fun of the story.

Q. Where can I submit inquiries?
