• Minimal barriers

     In minimal barriers, barriers should not block or encumber the entry point.

     The CAIS doors seen in Figure 7.3.1 provides transparent glass doors to give the impression that there are less barrier to block the entrance. Wide automatic sliding doors and a pushing door also invites user entry from different locations.

• Points of Prospect

     In points of prospect, entry point should also allow users to be well orientated and have a clear view of surrounding.
     The front view from the CAIS entrance in Figure 7.3.1 shows the good use of glass barriers to provide a clear view of the inside of the library, The structures and its different floors can be perceived clearly because of these transparent barriers.

     In progressive lures, lures are often used to attract people to attract user's attention to the entry point.
    Figure 7.3.2 is a refrigerator for drinks usually seen in shops. The transparent fridge door makes the drinks visible to the people passing by. The same drinks are also arranged together so that people would easily recognize them. This would attract people that saw their desired drinks to approach the fridge, and then become compelled to open the fridge and buy the drinks.
