Invisible Border

Created for the 2016 design week in the main courtyard of a historic university, as part of an exhibition on open borders, this installation sets out to blur boundaries rather than draw them.

For the design team, architects usually create borders by defining inside and outside, nature and artifice, while society already has too many invisible ones. Long translucent strands in shades of orange stretch across the courtyard and through the arcades, changing the perception of the historic space and inviting people to pass through and interact.
