Dec 1, 2009: Curtain Door
Not some college kid with an old shower curtain nailed over the doorway, or a slum shack with a curtain for a door. In this case, curtain door is a figure of speech, a technical description, because if you can afford this door, you ain't living in a slum, baby.
Neatorama points to the Emerging Architecture site, showing this prize winning door. Quote:

Maybe it's the thickness of the door? That'd be my guess.

It's a cool looking door, but doesn't look very weather tight. I can see light shining through the gaps on the sides, even where it's closed. It must be interior. The weather would come right through.

It's beautiful, but rather drowned by the big ugly walls. It's a cinderella curtain door.

It looks beautiful but I still can't get my brain around how it is suppose to close.

Case, looking from the top, it would open like a fan or deck of cards. It stays attached at the top, and each piece of wood swings open a little further than the one above it.
