The question of the appropriate detail, and thus of the appropriate door handle, is part of some larger questions. What is the appropriate relationship of the architectural part to the architectural whole? What, exactly, do we mean by scale? If the forces acting on two architectural elements-structure, performance, program- are the same, how is the solution changed by differences in size, if at all?
55 Door Handles is not a published book. It is subject to change but it is not a work in progress because it has no goal other than getting longer. It is not printed and it is not mass-produced, in fact there are minor differences between each copy.
