'A parallel of horizontal terrain and vertical plains'
The Island staircase is made up of multiple layered plains, and focuses on the horizontal movement rather then purely vertical.
The horizontal plains mimic the undulating and irregular terrain of the island in a more conformed manner. Not only the varied placement of steps but the disintegration of materiality reflects this organic nature of the island (yet possible with a more dystopic approach).
The staircase encourages this concept of parallel (to the earth) motion, of traversing across a space between two levels.
