Though we may take them for granted, doorways impinge on our lives
in many ways. Their powers are even richer and more varied than
those of the wall. They can change the ways we behave, and alter
how we see our surroundings. They challenge us and protect our
territories. They punctuate our experiences as we move from place
to place. They set the geometry and measure of our relationship
with space. They frame the 'in-between' and stand as
crystalisations of the moment. With its many dimensions, the
doorway is an essential component of what might be called 'the
common language of architecture'. Illustrated with numerous
drawings and photographs, Doorway is a stimulus to thinking about
what can be done with architecture. The notebook style offers an
example to student architects of how they might keep their own
architecture notebooks, collecting ideas, sorting strategies,
generally expanding their understanding of the potential of
architecture to modify the world in practical, philosophical and
poetic ways.
