eBook 정보
The book examines doors through three key lenses: their architectural impact, their role in security, and their social significance as thresholds. It delves into how doors define spatial organization, regulate access, and communicate messages about power and status. Doors, as material culture, offer insights into the priorities and anxieties of societies across time.
The book progresses from the earliest door forms to modern innovations, structured around architectural evolution, security imperatives, and the social meanings of thresholds. Supported by archaeological findings, architectural drawings, and historical records, Doors Unlocked provides a unique perspective on understanding spatial control, social hierarchy, and the evolution of technology, making it valuable for architects, historians, and anyone interested in the built environment.
