I like this one. How could you encourage people to use the stairs, in a public building, rather than take the escalator?
Piano stairs may be the answer. Check out this video of the amended subway exit at Odenplan station in Stockholm.
Each step is a piano key, and people make their own sweet pedestrian music. A cacophony at rush hour, though.
A lot of fun, nontheless, even if it was built to be a Volkswagen viral video...

Sounds like a great idea, until some drunk fellow tries to play "Garryowen" and breaks his neck.

True, Peter, but introducing drunkenness seldon improves anything!
BTW, what or who was "Gary Owen"? I know him as a midfielder for Man City in the 1970s, but the rugby commentators are always talking about a full-back kicking and chasing a "Gary Owen"... The same or another??
