Stairs are one of the richest architectural elements in terms of formal possibilities, and one of the most demanding at the functional level.

Stairs provide a simple and easy means of moving between levels, but also they can affect the way we see our surroundings.

In this movie, stairs play a huge role; it’s a key metaphor of hierarchical social status and materialism. Climbs a flight of stairs, it's a visual symbol of the rise in the social class, while the walk down suggests the opposite. the Stair is one of the key visual elements in the film that define the boundaries between the two worlds , layered one on top of the other , so I decide to choose the stairs to be my general concept idea.
