The so-called pasta or spaghetti stairs lead from the downstairs lobby to the upper floors. The concept of the stairs derives from the idea of a string of spaghetti wound around a fork. Cast in situ, the open staircase is one of the outstanding concrete solutions in Kiasma. Kiasman nk. pasta- tai spagettiportaat vievät ala-aulasta ylempiin kerroksiin. Idea portaiden muotoon tuli haarukan ympärille kierretystä spagetista. Paikalla valetut avoportaat ovat yksi Kiasman merkittävistä betonirakenteista. Photo: Finnish National Gallery / Marko Mäkinen‹›
