The new revolving door helped solve problems like heat exhaustion and negative air pressure in buildings. Later, around the 19th and 20th century different forms of doors evolved: panel doors, flush doors, French doors, pocket doors, etc. Additionally, gateways from sacred temples were also forms of very-old doors. They used cloth that would serve as a entryway and they also soon "upgraded" to elements like stone and such materials.This changed architecture because it revolutionized small elements of buildings. In my opinion, doors have evolved greatly over time. It is not a new invention, but it is a everyday, ever-changing invention.
