Im Seok-jae: Climbing the Staircase Civilization: The Baroque 20th Century

We're climbing up the stairs of Western civilization, which we meet through the history of the staircases. The staircase means "a vertical means of movement of steps that connect two different heights.". Stairs are the result of human religion, mental function. The best historian in Korea, Limsuk, uses Western architecture as the basis for the flow of time, the concept of the subject, to look into the common ground between the great staircases of Western architecture and the ones that surround us, and to find a humane view of the daily life on the staircases that are forming around us. This book is second in two of the two Western terraces, covering from Baruk to the 20th century. Baruk, who is said to have reached its peak in Western step history, has already seen the pre-accuracy as a concept of Proto-Balk from the 16th century. Pal Radio and Visula represented an overemphasis on the tendency of the stair to format, adding a concept of continuous space to the staircase. Baroque was raised to a height of stairs, which were exaggerated and twisted in many ways, according to human inordinate desire. From the 18th century, modern themes have emerged. The 18th century is a slow-down staircase, but the important concept of publicity comes into play. In the 19th century, two great powers, imperialism and bourgeois, led to the development of the staircase. Since the 19th century, when large spaces were running out of space and the building laws associated with stairs were already reinforced, the staircases began to be simplified to function and efficiency centers. The elevators have come along with a mechanical, vertical means of transport that has been hit by the whistle and gone down. A 20th-century skyscraper is a crystallized platform.
