Book Description
From a sandstone portal in Morocco to a bamboo-lined aperture in China, an exploration of door forms in vivid color.
Charged with a certain mystery-at once enclosing and exposing an interior space-the door is a primal yet intricate architectural component. Capturing the sheer variety of entryways worldwide, this book shows the harmony achieved by their diverse proportions, designs, materials, and colors and discloses how doors reflect geography. 231 color illustrations.
