This two‑volume art monograph presents Greenaway’s architectural and cultural study of staircases in Geneva and Munich, illustrating their role as both functional structures and symbolic forms within the urban fabric. The work chronicles the history and design of notable stairways, detailing their construction, ornamentation, and integration into civic and private spaces. It uncovers the interplay between architecture and social life, showing how stairs serve as stages for movement, ceremony, and visual drama. The volumes argue for the staircase as a defining element of European architectural identity, linking aesthetic innovation with cultural tradition.
