Caption:
This 1998 photograph depicted a publicly-accessible staircase, which had been designed with consideration for those that were visually-impaired. Note that beneath this structure a pool was installed, as well as a seating area, in order to prevent the visually-impaired from walking beneath the low-hanging staircase, thereby, avoiding head injuries (see PHIL 9046). In this way, normally unused, though potentially dangerous walk-through space was turned into an attractive and safe amenity. See PHIL 9047, and 9049 for additional views of this structure.
