Each limitation in the staircase tower's evolution — ground stability, material cost, height limits, aesthetic clutter, sway — didn't block progress, it forced the next leap. Triangular beams became spirals, spirals became mirrored doubles, doubles became tension-cable grids. Remarkable structures aren't designed in one stroke; they're the residue of solving one problem at a time.
