What is this?
-
Curiosity has me on this structure. Hopefully someone here knows what it is.

It's a work of art by a Didier Fiuza Faustino, apparently.
"Stairway to Heaven (2004) is a staircase encased in a concrete hallway, that leads up to a cage in which there is a basketball hoop. Installed in a public park in Portugal, it places emphasis on the individual and their spatial relation to the form in that the configuration of the piece is suited for one person, both in climbing the stairs and playing basketball, taking the participant on a route that seems to serve no practical purpose. It also presents a questioning of the use of public space in Portugal, and an investigation of the relationship between indoors and outdoors; private and public."

I once had a builder like that who couldn't read simple drawings, or even cast concrete to a decent spec!
