Sinopse

Doors Unlocked explores the fascinating history of doors, revealing how these often-overlooked elements have shaped architecture, security, and social interactions. From ancient gates to modern smart locks, the book traces the architectural evolution of doors, demonstrating how their design reflects technological advancements and cultural values. One intriguing fact is that the development of locking mechanisms has directly responded to changing societal needs, driven by concerns about crime, warfare, and privacy.

 
The book examines doors through three key lenses: their architectural impact, their role in security, and their social significance as thresholds. It delves into how doors define spatial organization, regulate access, and communicate messages about power and status. Doors, as material culture, offer insights into the priorities and anxieties of societies across time.

 
The book progresses from the earliest door forms to modern innovations, structured around architectural evolution, security imperatives, and the social meanings of thresholds. Supported by archaeological findings, architectural drawings, and historical records, Doors Unlocked provides a unique perspective on understanding spatial control, social hierarchy, and the evolution of technology, making it valuable for architects, historians, and anyone interested in the built environment.

    This book consists of the following two philosophers: 
    - Anaximander: Anaximander is best known for his revolutionary ideas about the cosmos. He proposed that the universe originated from the apeiron, an indefinite or boundless substance, which he believed was the source of all things. This concept marked a significant departure from the mythological explanations of the cosmos prevalent in his time, suggesting instead a naturalistic origin of the universe. His cosmological model, which included the idea of a cylindrical Earth suspended in space, demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of celestial mechanics for his era. 
    - Thales: In addition to his contributions to philosophy, Thales was also a mathematician and astronomer, and his influence in these fields is considerable. He is credited with being the first to predict a solar eclipse, using his understanding of the stars and celestial movements. His work in geometry is equally important—he is famously known for Thales’ Theorem, which laid the groundwork for the development of geometry. This theorem states that if two points are on a circle, and a line is drawn through them, then the center of that line will always lie on a straight line through the center of the circle. This geometric insight shows his ability to understand and systematize mathematical concepts that were previously unexamined.
