On day I was musing of the general shape of skyscrapers and the methods of circulation inside : with rectangular buildings, it is logical to have a bunch of lifts at the center. But what if we have a triangle-shaped skyscraper at least as wide as tall ?
In this case, having a series of escalators aligned with each other would reduce travel time when moving from the center to the extremity or vice-versa. Skyways would act as shortcuts when staying on the same level. I initially envisioned to roll the building into a approximate spiral to reduce its footprint, but skyways would only work on the lowest levels. So I compromised with a zigzag pattern which works with a more acute triangle.
Please note that this is not a very practical solution, just one that felt 'cool' at the start.

Tu pourrais en fait compléter, peut-être simplifier avec une poignée d'escaliers roulants qui font plusieurs plusieurs étages en un coup sans s'arrêter aux intermédiaires - il y a ça à la station de Métro Opéra je crois, avec trois escaliers roulants côte à côte mais qui desservent chacun un étage différent des deux autres !
