Hi, what is the maximum ramp inclination in your countries? I've been
studying the building of Rem Koolhaas (The Kunsthal in Rotterdam) and he did
ramps with inclination of about 15-17 % !!! whereas for example in Poland,
where I live, the maximum inclination is 8% assuming that the ramp is not
longer that 10m. The same is in Italy, where I am studying now. I like
Koolhaas ramps v. much, but aren't they against building law???
Thanks
Qbik
