Outdoor staircase designed as a stack of oversized book spines at the University of Balamand in Lebanon, each step painted to resemble classic literary works including The Republic by Plato, The Divine Comedy by Dante, The Prince by Machiavelli, Faust by Goethe, and Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant. The colorful stairway is set in a landscaped garden with greenery and flowers on both sides, creating the illusion of walking up a tower of world literature.
