- Border Town
We believe that a great deal can be learned by investigating the strange edge cases of the world. Border towns are the extreme edge of where geography and politics collide. They throw the abstractions of governance into sharp physical relief. They are a fertile site for investigation into questions of security, freedom, architecture, immigration, trade, smuggling, sovereignty, and identity.
Border Town was a multi-participant collaborative design studio that spent the summer investigating the conditions that surround life in cities situated on borders, divided by borders, or located in conflict zones. We have thought and designed about the interaction of legal and physical architecture and how these forces shape the built environment and the lives of the people living in it.
