MOC Ascending, Descending

Based off of M.C. Escher's work of the same name.

Here's the official Escher website:

And of course I should give credit for the illusion to this:

I like it! It just goes to show what can be done with stressed bricks. When I first looked at it, I was thinking to myself "I dont get it". Then my brain turned on and I discovered the secret! anyways, Great work!

Excellent piece of designing and very clever too !

Great work 'puriri' and I'm a conformist! !

[Mrlegoninja]

Very Cool! The only thing I would suggest is putting some more trees outside.

[Big Cam]

It took me a while to figure it out. I like the pathway, very creative.

Just a short critique: it would be harder to figure out if the bottom (inside the spiral) was not visible, just the walls.

Agreed. You can see where it doesn't join.

Yeah, I probably should have made it taller, but I didn't want to suffer the terrible "grey wall syndrome."

And thanks guys for the feedback!

Well done on this, my father owns his book and I love looking in it for inspiration, so this especially pleases me. Well done indeed mate, and keep bricking!

From my understanding its not stressed bricks.

Yeah. The trick is forced perspective, which might be what you meant.

The part of the staircase in the back right is longer and behind that of the front and left. and doesn't actually connect. It's kind of like an "L" shape with a short part on the left.

That's great! Though it makes my brain hurt.
