When I visited the entrance area of the Yale Center for British Art(YCBA), located on the intersection of Chapel and York Streets, I noticed that very few people cross through it. When we try to find some access for entering a space regardless of whether it is physical or virtual space, if the entrance is not easily visible or protected by its structural characteristics, people feel disconnected to the space.
