• Duh. AI’s trained on average human data, will produce average results. Want bliss? Train them on Architects.

    Is this a real and stupid, non-functional set of stairs?

    Or did someone create a cool/definitely impractical staircase where the second flight is on hinges and you lift it up to access the middle floor?

    (Edit: I say this because the second flight looks like it’s made of wood and maybe not entirely fixed to the floor.)

    • I have seen pictures of actual concrete stairs like that, many years ago.

    • Totally possible someone installed the form work for the stairs the wrong way and blocked off the lower ones.

      Or they’ve mocked the building and instead of removing the old concrete stairs just walled them off like this.

      Things like this are often a protest by the builders against the architect. They spot a problem with the design, try and tell them and get shouted at. They then build it to the design, knowing it’s stupid, so the architect has to swallow the cost of fixing it.

        I want to be a fly in the wall for that conversation.

        A fly with a bucket of popcorn.

      • That’s nice.
        Although I don’t understand how come an Architects drawing goes straight to a builder without a Civil Engineer in between.

        *Parks my car cross-wise in front of yours, blocking you in.*

        Yes. They technically are.

      • Well, if it were at a gap, as would be expected of a normal staircase, it would have enough space for the door to open and for someone to enter it from the side.

        I would not want to live in that room either way.

  • Second picture is indeed an accurate building of the left drawing. Both set of stairs are drawn in section, implying that they are on the same plane.
