Fences and borders
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.

Relation to a wider context
- The context of determining areas and boundaries in urban space and housing complexes.
- Interest in the phenomenon of residential architecture ,for instance the wave-shaped block (Pol. falowiec) in Gdańsk.
- common spaces, communication, functionality.
- What role is imposed on users by such architecture?
- equal access to public space
Choices made
Interaction between people from both sides. In order to engage with the instalation you need someone from the other side.
