In the heart of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), lies an architectural marvel that has bewitched and puzzled students and visitors alike since 1968. This marvel, known as the Asteria Stairwell, is a true testament to the ingenuity of its creator, the Filipino architect Raphael Nelson of Agonda. Nestled within the historical Building Seven, the stairwell provides an unusual experience that transcends the norms of architecture and stimulates a sense of wonderment.
