4．The Most Fantastic Staircases in the World
Infinity and beyond
The architecture of the staircase combines form and function，upper and lower space．It can represent power or status，or symbolize spiritual uplift and the climb to knowledge．A new book published by Thames&Hudson，The Staircase：The Architecture of Ascent explores the history and meaning of the staircase，from the simple，straight-fight steps of the Mayan pyramids，to the spiral ramp（螺旋型坡道）of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum and the computer-aided designs of today．
The steps of the Toltec-Maya pyramid at Chichen Itza is the ancestor of all stair design．Appearing to stretch up to the sky，this style of staircase came to symbolize a rise to heaven and infinity，and has captured artists'imaginations．
Let there be light
The"lantern"at the dome（圓頂屋）of a staircase is an important design feature----allowing the light to stream in．The view shown here of the lantern of the Chateau of Chambord in the Loire，F(xiàn)rance，shows the flat ceiling decorated with coffering（方格天花板）．The Chateau marks a high point in the development of the staircase，reflecting the Renaissance（文藝復興） architects'liking for the spiral structure around an open space．
High and mighty
The spirit of the Baroque（巴洛克）appears in the monumental staircase of the Palazzo Canossa in Mantua，Lombardy，Italy，built in the 1600s for the Gonzagafamily，who ruled that part of northern Italy from the14th to the 18th centuries．The figures that greet the visitor on the landing include two large dogs，symbolizing the powerful family．
