The attention now is drawn to the staircase that leads up the hose tower, a space that will be the site for an exhibition of work relating to the documentation of the redevelopment of the Old Fire Station. Of a stairwell, one thinks of a footfall and of that fleeting moment, one would not spend long to look at a work on the stairs. Its position is reflective of the methodology, a capturing of a fleeting moment, one now has to construct a manner of reception. Three floors with a large expanse of vacant space above, the tower extending above the last step by ten meters or more, the brick of the vacant tower is fortuitously unprepared, a beautiful quality, the brick leading up the stairwell has a coat of white paint, the contrast makes a distinction between the fleeting reception of the stairwell and the tower which demands a sustained look, the vacancy should take precedence.
