This project begins with the premise of a fictitious commission to redesign a stair for SFMOMA. The museum board, disappointed in the stair designed by Snohetta and reacting to the public outrage over the removal of the Botta designed stair, have asked for a third stair. In an effort to regain the grandeur and heightened experience of the space, the single story stair by Snohetta would be replaced by a three story suspended helical stair. The shape of the helical stair compliments the cylindrical light well and allows museumgoers to once again experience the space as they ascend. The fictitious commission story continues with the stairs success becoming so wide known that other museums asked for their own version of the suspended helical stair. The Yale Center for British Art and the Guggenheim Museum each commissioned a suspended helical stair to engage the space and invigorate the public’s museum going experience.
