description: Architecture is a spatial experience that is not autonomous, in otherwords, each space is dependent on each other in order to createexperience. When transitioning through spaces, people becomeunaware and lose their sense of place in which they are in andwhere they had come from. During a sequence within architecture,its important to consider the experience and nostalgia from the pastand the future spaces. A threshold represents an object in presenttime that creates a connection throughout architecture becausethey highlight the separation of spaces. As a result, it is importantto acknowledge the spaces surrounding the thresholds in order tobring awareness to the person and prove that architecture is notautonomous.
