On the Architectural Hostility of Doorknobs:
“For me, a doorknob is never just a doorknob. It’s the first handshake with a room. It’s the opening sentence of a building’s story. It is a dense, information-rich object, a metal or porcelain palm that tells me everything I need to know about the space I am about to enter and the people who inhabit it. It’s a tactile bellwether for empathy, consideration, and sometimes, for danger. It is the gatekeeper, the greeter, and the warning sign, all in one.” (Jun, Sightless Scribbles)
