Like limits and borders, they express one of \nhumanity's fundamental relations to space. Places where spaces are \nseparated and connected, thresholds are also metaphorically potent \nacross cultures, as passageways where subjectivity is transformed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA History of Thresholds: Life, Death and Rebirth\u003c\/i\u003e\n uses the threshold as a guiding thread to explore the meaning and \nimportance that humans have invested in built spaces. The book is a \nvisual narrative about the life, death and—eventually— rebirth of these \nthresholds: from the Ancient Greeks to the emergence of the private \ndomain and the transparency of contemporary architecture, which seems to\n diminish the liminal space of the threshold. \u003ci\u003eA History of Thresholds\u003c\/i\u003e argues for the need to reinvent the threshold in order to establish a new contract between architecture and humanism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacques Ferrier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48279297622267,"sku":"9783868595208","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9783868595208_5ae10621-3870-4a16-a170-30547840f901.jpg?v=1772490618","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/a-history-of-thresholds-9783868595208","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
