The new stairway communicates Bot's Major street with the old station and the Via Verda de la Terra Alta. Every design choice is made with the low-tech mindset. Ceramic bricks, galvanized steel, lighting poles. Every urban element and material melds into the landscape.
Playing with the stairway's geometry and escaping from a strait path by braking it into three parts from top to bottom whilst adding resting spaces on each turn allows the stairway to convey a pleasant relaxing sensation. A completely straight stairway tends to exaggerate its slope and make it look more stressing and less appealing.
