Boundary Making in Architecture

Boundary making is an act of architecture that supports and marks space through our phenomenological experience. Boundaries are drawn from and determine human action, demonstrated in how architecture uses boundaries to define space. There is a common association between boundary and limit, which leads to the idea that there is certainty in the effects of creating a boundary without considering any uncertain results. In architectural praxis, the uncertainties in boundarymaking are the outcomes of an idea, drawing, or space unaccounted for from conception. This thesis explores boundary making in architecture through the modes of perception, geometry, concept, and projection, arguing that boundary is transgressive and thus capable of exceeding the confines of a limit. Considering boundary as a transgressive passage, questions the idea of inside and outside and offer architectural opportunities to revisit boundarymaking in-between and beyond bounds.
