“…Popov & Ellison [4] argues that boundaries can shift according to the needs of space users, can be formed and disappear by adjusting to the user's needs. On the other hand, Smith [11]states that the body is a boundary-maker so that the boundary depends on the movements made by the bodies [6].…”

This study aims to investigate several elements as a form of threshold in the urban settlement. Threshold has the function of connectedness and separation, which is an integral part of spatial practice in urban settlements. That is how humans have the freedom to regulate their activities and space by using the threshold as connector or separator. In particular, this paper describes the elements function as a threshold for different conditions to connect and separate human roles and activities. The extent to which activities occur in a particular space and time in urban settlements is the key to determining the shape of the threshold. This paper presents an overview of the forms and performance of threshold that exist in urban settlements based on everyday practices. It not only discusses the function of elements as a threshold but also reveals the relationship between in-out of the everyday practice in urban settlements. The presence of thresholds in urban settlements is not only limited to physical elements. In this paper, we argue that the threshold element can produce a different performance due to the interacting activities between space and time. So that the understanding that connecting and separating cannot be seen as something fixed, but depends on other aspects that occur in everyday practice. This paper provides another understanding of the performance of thresholds in urban settlements, and this can be carried out in the development of a dynamic and transformative urban spatial design.

“…16 Similarly, Popov and Ellison contend that the social production of space in one annual, celebratory event can create an intensive cultural experience for the individual. 17 An EIO's power to integrate subjective identity with physical (empirical) form is what makes it intensive. The identification of EIOs provides designers with a method to analyze the corporate "belongings" of a client culture within its specific context.…”

Ethos–Intensive Objects: Toward a Methodological Framework for Identifying Complex Client Cultures

Along with other design professionals in a globalizing world, interior designers are serving clients who are increasingly complex. Understanding exactly whom design professionals are designing for now requires more than just developing a program; it requires the designer to comprehend the multiple layers of a client's culture. Clients tend less to be individuals, but rather institutions and corporations, and even the smaller ones among these may well have international scope. This increased complexity has also rendered the client culture more sophisticated. Questions arise as to how a designer can offer solutions that truly fit a client's needs. This paper proposes a method that frames ethnographic data into design programs through the identification of Ethos-Intensive Objects (EIOs). EIOs are culturally descriptive, case-specific objects that encompass multiple levels of meaning linked to human lived experiences associated with physical attributes, human activities, and human narratives of a specific cultural context. Identifying EIOs allows designers to develop more accurate design programs by enabling them to see the client's world through the client's eyes. This paper begins by defining EIOs, clarifying how they bridge the gap between cultural data and the design program, and then provides examples of EIOs in three case study samples. First, a historical example in the literature makes a broad case for the utility of EIOs as cultural identifiers. Next, an example from the design literature illustrates design ethnographic methods from an EIO point of view. Finally, an analysis from an interiors venue provides a prototypical example for EIOs in a design practice setting. In sum, the paper argues for a way by which designers can comprehend client cultures through EIOs and empirically frame the cultural experiences embedded in these objects into understandable and operational frameworks for the purposes of informing design programs.
