Ingrid Amslinger, The Golden Spiral, Marha Plain, Morocco, 1980 - 1987 by Hannsjörg Voth. ..In the 80’s Hannsjörg Voth discovers the Moroccan desert. Attracted by the desertic vastness, the landscape zero, he built his first project in the plain of Marha, between Goulmima and Arfoud. The Himmelstreppe (Stairway to Heaven) was built and self-financed between 1980 and 1987. Fascinated by astronomy, he built a staircase whose top side walls are narrowed, creating a vertical slit facing the stars. The structure/sculpture is 19m high and has 56 steps, creating a shadow that runs all around. The interior of this monumental staircase is also accessible, as different rooms are built into the structure.. -- source link
