Description
I used a series of classic and vintage filters for aged effect.
The outdoor fire escape has long been a fixture in the large city streetscape, but more and more buildings are losing their iron appendages now that fireproof interior stairwells are seen as the emergency exit of choice. Moreover, the fire, buildings and city planning departments are amending fire safety rules in response to the influx of supertall towers to allow for �more occupant-evacuation elevators that can be used to move people down a tower in the event of an emergency.
The Rise and Demise of the Outside Fire Escape,� says that having to climb through a window makes fire escapes problematic, noting that �You can�t always get to the window. You can�t necessarily get out the window . . . it can be winter and covered with snow and ice and they can get overloaded.�
