架构师提供的文本描述。在鹿特丹郊区Carnisselande，一个锈迹斑斑的钢圈轻轻地披在一座小山上。这是一个巨大的圆形楼梯，把游客引到一个高度，可以畅通无阻地看到地平线和鹿特丹附近的天际线。这条小径持续不断地运动，因而利用环路和电车轨道这一庞大的基础设施环境。虽然有轨电车站是旅程的终点或起点，但楼梯的路线是无止境的。

Text description provided by the architects. A rusty steel ring is gently draped upon a grass hill in Carnisselande, a Rotterdam suburb. It’s a giant circular stair leading the visitor up to a height that allows an unhindered view of the horizon and the nearby skyline of Rotterdam. The path makes a continuous movement and thereby draws on the context of the heavy infrastructural surrounding of ring road and tram track. While a tram stop presents the end or the start of a journey, the route of the stairway is endless.

接下来，建筑师们为巴伦德雷赫特市委托的当地艺术计划设计了楼梯。由于它的结构，物体的形状很难察觉；每一个视角都会产生一种新的形象，设计不仅是一个语境，而且是对当地艺术计划中给定的语境的一个非常直截了当的答案：一个弹性的视角。

NEXT architects designed the stair for a local art plan commissioned by the municipality of Barendrecht . Because of its structure, the shape of the object is hard to perceive; every perspective generates a new image with which the design is not only a contextual but also a very literal answer to the given context of the local art plan: an Elastic Perspective.

根据莫比乌斯带的原理，楼梯的连续路线是一种错觉：“我们对莫比乌斯带感兴趣，因为它只有一个表面，没有顶部和底部。当它被用作一条路径时，它意味着一种连续性，但跨越这条道路-至少在物理上-是不可能的。这就是我们在这个郊区的居民中所认识到的那种模棱两可的现象：在精神上，他们仍然觉得与他们的家乡鹿特丹有很大的联系，但在日常生活中，他们确实是脱节的。有了莫比乌斯带楼梯，我们可以让他们一瞥鹿特丹的天际线，但要继续他们的旅程，他们必须向后退，面对日常生活的背景，卡尼塞兰德(Carnisselande)。“鹿特丹，乘电车只需几分钟车程，但在感知和经验方面，却隐藏在基础设施和隔音屏障后面；距离太远，太近了。”

Based on the principal of the Möbius strip, the continuous route of the stair is a delusion: "We are intrigued by the Mobius strip, by its characteristic of having only one surface, no top nor bottom. When used as a path, it suggests a continuity, but crossing that path is - at least physically - an impossibility. It’s that kind of ambiguity that we recognized in the inhabitants of this suburb: mentally they still feel very much connected to their mother town Rotterdam, but in daily life they are definitively disconnected. With the Mobius strip stair we offer them a glimpse towards the Rotterdam skyline, but to continue their trip, they have to turn backwards, facing the context of their everyday life, Carnisselande."Rotterdam, by tram just minutes away, but in perception and experience tucked behind infrastructure and noise barriers; far away, so close.
