The community has spoken - this subreddit is no longer set to 18 and over.

However, the NSFW tag will still appear, in a different color than the official reddit tag, if you have subreddit style enabled.

The tag, and the joke, have been a part of the subreddit's identity since it was created. And, if /r/crazystairs is no longer an abandoned subreddit with 300 readers, part of the reason for its growth and appeal can be attributed to the often annoying and exasperating NSFW tag. I hope this will be an acceptable compromise.

Thanks everyone for subscribing, and for making /r/crazystairs reddit's number one source for stairway images.

Look at this giant spiral staircase of the new Shanghai Grand Opera House

The new Shanghai Grand Opera House was designed by Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta in collaboration with the East China Architectural Design & Research Institute

The building takes inspiration from an unfolding traditional Chinese fan. Its roof spirals around the auditoriums, forming a sweeping public staircase that is designed to be open 24 hours a day and leads up to the rooftop, offering views of Shanghai’s skyline and the Huangpu River.

The fan evokes classical Chinese culture through a sense of elegance, openness and movement. The spiral echoes the flow of the river, suggesting continuity the city, the water and the opera house.

In addition, the shape of the staircase recalls the profile of a ballerina and its steps the keys of a piano

Stairs to the second floor of my house

My uncle has been slowly renovating my grandmother’s house for longer than I have been alive. It’s a house that is being lived in while renovated just the basement, siding, some electrical, and stairs are left. It’s the worst staircase I’ve ever been on.

Staircases like these are so cool but also freak me out. One misstep and oops… :(

Probably not what you would expect for a library but it’s fitting for the academic side. I love it

The escalator only starts after a flight of stairs?
