“Interactive Thresholds” — an exhibition presented by The Daniels Faculty, the City of Markham’s Public Art Program, and Industrial Arts — is an exploration of the architectural threshold as a behavioural and technological interface.  Designed and built by Daniels undergraduate students and faculty of the 2025 Design Build course social/technological, “Interactive Thresholds” is an exploration of the architectural threshold as a behavioural and technological interface. It argues that technology is social; it shapes and is shaped by human life. It contributes to relationships between humans, and therefore influences social structures, power dynamics, and the way people connect. It can sometimes be a tool of power, resistance, agency and transformation. It is co-produced with society, and is fundamentally social.

By framing doors and thresholds as sites of collaboration between society and technology, the exhibition invites visitors to experience firsthand the ways in which built form and digital systems converge to mediate our interactions with the world.
