After reading Mark's post, I was thinking the same thing. Z-chutes can be
low-key, yet still visually interesting and have an industrial/spacey look.
Actually, Z-chutes can resemble the interdeck ladders used in Star Trek.
Here's a link to one ladder I built for a z-chute:
<http://www.geocities.com/partsref/br/brladder.gif>. It just needs a chute
wrapped around it.
The nice thing about z-chutes is, if you build it as a physically complete
shaft/tube, with hatches opening on each level, you can easily switch to a
lift/elevator later.
