Abstract

In this chapter, three innovative houses of the early twentieth century are used to explore concepts of threshold as they relate to disability. These houses, all designed by leading architects of the time-the Darwin D. Martin House (Frank Lloyd Wright, 1904, Buffalo, NY, USA), the Villa Savoye (Le Corbusier, 1931, Poissy, France), and the Rietveld-Schröder House (Gerrit Rietveld, 1924, Utrecht, Netherlands)-reveal how innovative approaches to the design of threshold spaces can open opportunities for physical, sensory, and psychological support and freedom. Each house erases traditional boundaries and offers new paradigms of architectural design that promote social integration.
