Shape and Form - Up the Down Staircase


 My question is: Did the architect who designed this fully realize that anyone would look at the staircase from this angle? My two appreciations for this photo are the contrast of the textures of the wooden stairs, they look of bamboo, and the mesh, metal panels to their perpendicular; and the repeating wing or sail pattern hand railing opening in the successive levels. It appears slightly turned and wider with each higher level with the opening on the top level of the shot going off the page.

Interesting architecture is a possibility for my form project with the challenge being framing and use of light and angle of camera. I hope to capture whatever form in a way that leaves the viewer wondering what they are looking at or which end is up.
