Résumé

Doors are prominent and essential elements of all buildings. As a connecting space that simultaneously encloses and exposes an interior, the door is a primal, yet very intricate architectural component charged with an unmistakable mystery. More than just a passageway from one space into another ; it is in fact considered an item of decor in its own right, able of delivering a powerful statement that brings with it a remarkable pluralism of design. Capturing the sheer variety of entryways across Europe, this book reveals the harmony achieved by their versatile proportions, design, materials, and colors. Through the eye of excellent photographers with remarkable attention to detail, this volume attempts to capture the magnificent diversity of doors from all architectural epochs and styles found in Europe's greatest cities.
