Photographer André Vicente Gonçalves has revealed his latest project, ?Doors of the World,? documenting hundreds of doors from cities around the world. Gonçalves has previously produced a photo series of hundreds of windows internationally titled ?Windows of the World,? citing his interest in the way that such a small element of architecture expresses so much about its inhabitants and the human sense of security.

By collaging his photographs from specific regions into a single image, Gonçalves reveals trends and styles that dominate the area. Like Rem Koolhaas? ?Fundamentals? exhibition at the 2014 Venice Biennale, which explores the evolution of architecture?s essential elements ? from stairs to doors to toilets ? ?Doors of the World? and its predecessor, ?Windows of the World? demonstrates how architecture has evolved in ways almost out of the hands of architects.
