What stories does each Door have to tell?
A poetic exploration of doors across scales as a simple yet universal interface between neighborhoods, our streets and the interiors of our homes - of how our private worlds and public lives are woven together across geographies.
Across all settlement patterns, the raw photo-documentation has been entirely conducted on foot, often taking on the form of a journalistic quest - interacting with people of different cultures, aspirations or ideologies. Each door expresses its own unique story, but together, they can be seen as a potential map of materials and varying levels of ornamentation, in a gradient from rural to urban - and other underlying patterns.



Rearranged as urban parametric typologies - the first image identifies features from collective memory to distill a language of ornament, inspired by classical proportions. The next one tells us about patterns of interaction, as encapsulated in a double-leaf swing door type, rose windows and diagrid grills. The final visual explores ornament as forms of religio-cultural expression, and pluralistic representation
