Ascending, Descending



Ascending, Descending

The building seems to be solid, but when you examine it you see that the monks are ascending or descending forever. Escher didn't invent the endless staircase but he managed to draw it in a very appealing way. The inventors of the endless stairs were L.S. and Roger Penrose in 1958.
