The idea is to create an urban and architectural platform for the study, research, and exploration of issues and questions tied to borders. The exercise consists of getting hold of the subject of borders as a symbolic representation of the political arena, be it real, imaginary, or claimed, and to compare it to different levels of the territory and to urban and architectural questions and issues.
