This is cool and all, but why not build a ramp?
Judging by how many steps there are, to get to the front doors a ramp would replace all of the stairs to the entrance as it would have yo avoid being too steep.
This would mean destroying a lot of classic architecture.
Or the ramp would block the pavement, which carries a whole different set of problems.
A less steep ramp may possibly be built at an alternative entrance, like the back of the building. But forcing wheelchair users to go to the back of the building just to get in carries a whole stack of “second class citizens” vibes that are not cool.
This really was the best solution for everyone. It doesn’t destroy the architecture, doesn’t block the public highway, and doesn’t force second class citizens feelings on anyone.
and also it looks rad as fuck
