Architectural Borders and Territories (AB&T) offers a comprehensive series of scholarly books on architectural ‘borders’ and ‘territories’, emphasizing the intrinsic critical relationship as well as the inherent complexities between these two core terms of architecture.
Topics cover:
1. border and migration studies in relation to spaces of conflict;
2. the complex entanglements of territory, infrastructure, architecture and landscape;
3. critical theories probing (the boundaries of and silenced positions within) architecture as a discipline;
4. generative research that operationalizes ‘borders’ and/or ‘territories’ towards architectural design methodologies.
The AB&T series is theoretical in its scope and presents discussions relevant to international contemporary scholarship in architecture, as well as indicating implications for architectural design practice. AB&T is dedicated to broadening the scope of architectural scholarship through promoting marginalised perspectives and by questioning the extent of the discipline.
