According to architectural historian Philippa Lewis, a portal 'is generally an optimistic thing, both literally and metaphorically... The word encapsulates the idea of passing through, to a new opportunity, to making progress or moving forward, to entering fresh new worlds.'

Résumé:
No other concept has disturbed and disfigured our understanding of energy more than the seemingly innocent idea of isolation. Further, no other material practice in architecture has systemically reinforced this errant idea than insulation. In too many cases, architects and engineers treat buildings as increasingly "efficient" isolated systems without any regard for the larger energy hierarchies of a building. This is the exact opposite of how architects should engage energy.
