Architecture on the Borderline interrogates space and territory in a turbulent present where nation-state borders are porous to a few but impermeable to many. It asks how these uneven and conflicted social realities are embodied in the physical and material conditions imagined, produced or experienced through architecture and urbanism. Drawing on historical, global examples, this rich collection of essays illustrates how empires, nations and cities expand their frontiers and contest boundaries, but equally how borderline identities of people and places influence or expose these processes. Empirical chapters covering Central Asia, the Asia Pacific region, the American continent, Europe and the Middle East offer multiple critical insights into the ways in which our spatial imagination is contingent on ‘border-thinking’; on the ways of being and navigating frontiers, boundaries and margins, the three themes used to organise their content. The underlying premise of the book is that sensitisation to border conditions can alter our understanding of the static physical spaces that service political or cultural ideologies, and that the view from the periphery opens up new ways of understanding sovereignty. In exploring these various spaces and their transformative subjectivities, this book also reveals the unrelenting precarity of contesting and living on the margins, and related spaces and discourses that are neglected or suppressed.

"BorderLine”, the first publication in the "RIEAeuropa book series” series, highlights a particularly relevant site in Europe: The town and harbor of Kraljevica, just south of Rijeka, Croatia, where failing ship-building industry and pollution from a large oil-refinery threaten both the ecology and the prospects of tourism. Drawing on the results of a workshop, "BorderLine” presents essays and projects by leading thinkers and architects such as Lebbeus Woods, Gabriela Seifert (Formalhaut Architects), Manuel Delanda (cultural philosopher), Aleksandra Wagner (sociologist, psychoanalyst), Heinz Foerster (biophysicist), Ekkehard Rehfeld (architect). Architectural projects and conceptual proposals by Lebbeus Woods, Peter Cook, Will Alsop, Per Kartredt, Masihiko Yendo, Guy Lafranchi, etc. create within rapidly evolving European and global landscapes.

This projects suggests a different way of representing an architectural idea as well as to interpret information. The methodology that I used through the development of the marketplaces was the connection of "signifiers" by which their varied meanings led to a framework of architectural decisions such as the materials, the forms, the arrangement of the functions and the circulation on the site.
