Stepping backwards in time

Article Abstract:

Cantilevered staircases have been constructed in the United Kingdom since the 1500's but they are very seldom used in modern architecture. Staircase structures based on the cantilever system have been installed in university buildings at Balliol College, Oxford, England. They are constructed in precast-concrete. Staircase design issues are debated.
