Documenting Pittsburgh Steps
Made by Paul Moscoso

Pittsburgh Steps are one of the most remarkable features of the city, yet its original purpose contrasts deeply with its actual state. Not only its original function has become redundant, but lack of maintenance has put many in a critical stage of conservation. The idea of documenting his legacy and current condition has pushed historians, journalists, and artists to the streets to discover them one by one. These advocative initiatives could be an opportunity for the city if their work is taken to a level of exposure and diffusion so that it reaches a critical audience and with that, it can contribute to its better recognition and recondition. This work tries to reveal the Pittsburgh Steps from open data, understand what conditions they have, and expose what has been done documenting them and what could be done.
