A STUDY ON SPATIAL COMPOSITION OF STAIRS AND CHANGES IN IMPRESSIONS BY MOVEMENT

The purpose of this study is to clarify how spatial impressions change through vertical travel by stairs and its relation between spatial compositions. Photographs of impressive scenes taken by subjects during vertical travels were mapped on architectural drawings. Distributions of impressive scenes were analyzed together with elements that subjects indicated as impressive. Results showed that impressions of spatial experience were related difference in floor levels rather that the stairs themselves.
