The curving of a staircase is a European technique that consists of dividing the steps in such a way as to provide a progressive and balanced turn that makes for a comfortable pace. When a stairway has both a straight part and a rotating part, it is typical to curve the steps, that is, to make several of the straight steps progressively oblique. 3, record 1, English, - winding%20stair
