Charles and Ray Eames

"Here is one of the few effective keys to the design problem-the ability to the designer to recognize as many of the constraints as possible-his willingness and enthusiasm for working within these constraints-the constraints of price, of size, of strength, balance, time, ect.; each problem has its own particular list."
Charles Eames

Architecture

Eames Studio and House

1949- A spiral staircase leading to the second floor of the house is lighted by a square wired-glass skylight. The stairs are made from sections of steel beam formed into flanges, welded onto a pipe collar, and fitted into position on a vertical column.
