Doors

This is unfortunate and partly the result of standardisation. We buy the same product and mostly think no more about it. A door is merely a part of an opening through a wall so what can possibly be said about it? Internally, it merely closes off one room from another. Quite so. But even today it is worth noting how doors differ.

The big buildings of big companies and big churches require appropriately large doors. This tends to be a matter of scale. Smaller buildings need smaller doors. But also note that even the utilitarian door is now available to the better off with better wood and considerable ornamentation.
