Among these elements, the door handle stands out as the main element that seamlessly blends functionality and style. This article explores the evolution of the door, its diversity, and its impact on modern architecture and interior design, supported by practical and statistical data.   Evolution of Door Handles:  It has evolved from a simple tool into a unique development of design. According to architectural historian Witold Rybczynski, the door began as a simple device, usually made of wood or metal, used for the sole purpose of serving as a door ("House: A Brief History of an Idea," 1986). However, advances in technology and design have led to the rise of ergonomic door handles, promoting both functionality and aesthetic harmony.   Design Versatility: A study by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) shows growing interest in sliding doors due to their e...
