This project began from a simple place; design a door handle. Quickly, however, thoughts about door handles evolved into questions about doors, then entrances, then people, then actions, then movement, then limitations. It is within the bounds of limitations that in fact this project resides. Taking the ubiquitous and quite frankly, boring, ADA posts found at the entrances of most public doors nowadays as a take off point, the pieces shown here offer a critique on common entry elements; posts, screens, doors, and benches, and ties them together through language and materiality. The pieces remain in the realm of ubiquity however; most of the parts can be found at local hardware stores. The pieces instead showcase what can be achieved when exercising agency over residing ubiquity, they err on the side of execution rather than novelty, and they flip the script from limitations to potentials.
