ArchDaily Curates Six Projects Featuring Spiral Ramps for Vertical Circulation

On September 24, 2026, Moises Carrasco's article on ArchDaily explores six architectural designs that incorporate spiral ramps for vertical access. The piece emphasizes the dual functionality and aesthetic appeal of spiral ramps, contrasting them with conventional stairs, as illustrated by the Itamaraty Palace in Brasilia. Among the highlighted projects is the Shanghai Minsheng Wharf Waterfront Landscape, designed by Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects, featuring an image by Fangfang Tian. The projects are categorized into three distinct approaches: large public interventions with accessible slopes, ramps integrated into urban landscapes, and those that are part of the building's interior. Carrasco points out that the spiral design facilitates smooth transitions and enhances sightlines, thereby minimizing mobility challenges for visitors.
