Adjust according to the crowd: A good architect can adjust the design according to the target crowd. If it is an apartment for young people, the order of stairs can be 1 1, and the height of each step can be 16cm. If it is an apartment for the elderly, the number of steps should not exceed 9 at most, and the height of each step should be reduced. Actually, it makes sense. The stride of the old man and the height of lifting his feet are limited, so it will be comfortable and effortless for the old man to walk on such stairs. If you give it to young people, they will have a desire to take two steps at a time.
Office space: We know that the office environment of many enterprises is mostly young people. The stairs in these places should be normal 1 1 steps, and the stair height difference should be 16cm, which belongs to the most normal stairs. The advantage of this is that the height of the office environment can reach a more comfortable height, suitable for young people, and there is no sense of oppression. I wonder if anyone has found this rule.
Public places: Public places test designers the most. Now some shopping malls, stations, airports, subways and other public places have stairs, escalators, straight ladders and barrier-free passages, which seems quite reasonable. In fact, some places are inhuman, and the number and height of stairs are slightly better. After all, there are many young people, but too many floors can easily make people tired of leg muscles. We have seen some. However, the use of escalator is unreasonable in some places. It is always occupied by young people, which is very inconsistent with its function. The angle and height of the escalator are even more unreasonable. In some big cities, there are such subway entrances, and people who are afraid of heights are afraid to take the escalator. Once something goes wrong, it is a very serious problem.
What needs to be mentioned here is accessibility, which is useless in many places. If you want to take barrier-free access, it is estimated that it is more difficult than taking other channels. Moreover, in some places, accessibility is actually impassable, and there are other functional areas in the middle. There will be many obstacles along the way and they will not serve the disabled at all.
It is not easy to be a good designer. It can make people forget the existence of design and just feel that life is very comfortable. Have you ever met such stairs?
