The word “entrance” conjures up archetypal images like a door with a latch – a linear boundary we cross to leave the outside world behind and enter a building. There are so many ways of handling entrances in domestic architecture that it is clear that the actual function of the entrance has become that of representing the entrance. It is now possible to travel to work without leaving the outside world at all: into the integral garage at home, remote controlled gate, into the company underground car park and up to the office by lift. We may have passed through various gates and barriers, but we have not seen any one of them as an entrance. Many doors even open automatically as we approach, so that they do not even seem to be there.
