Know-how on vertical building access Vertical accessibility and circulation are essential aspects of architectural design and planning.

This book, entitled Treppen/Stiegen (Stairs/Steps), covers the fundamentals and thus an essential aspect of vertical access.

In addition to structural and physical requirements, design- and safety-related factors must also be considered, with particular emphasis on barrier-free construction.

Various types of structure are presented in detailed subsections-varying according to the building materials-and supplemented by an exposition of the planning criteria for installing elevators and escalators. As with all volumes in the Baukonstruktionen series, key basic information is first presented, then themes are explored in ever greater depth as each chapter progresses.
