Project That May or May Not Be Made template

What is it? Project about fences and bordesr in poublic space.

It will be an instalations which would be a result of a field research, analysing functionality of forms encountered in public space with a focus on delineating territories and borders in urban space.

Accompanying publication with a reserach process, that has the same shape as imstalation.

Why make it? In Poland, gated communities were a promise of paradise. Some people still want to separate themselves, but there are also different expectations towards the city, the need for a more public space than a privatized one.
