Border Catalog: Integrated Sense of Border
Abstract
Despite the popularity of border issues in today's media, the spatial organization which borders
create remain unrecognized. This paper discusses the relationship between architecture and
borders through a catalog which organizes borders into three categories; social, personal and
a combination of the two types of borders. Looking at a border through the lenses of a designer
offers a variety of perspectives into the different ways in which individuals and societies cross
borders. From this perspective, they are no longer looked at as a physical line, but as tool, which
humans created to bring order to chaos within the mind and the physical world.
