"In an urban condition where frontiers have been torn down and cities have become never-ending, the historical and visual limits that used to define urban areas are now hard to read...The study is about how constructing the border can produce a new urban system through an integration of spaces that formally separated. Border construction produces space and new relationships not only between en heterogeneous urban elements, but also between architecture, landscape, engineering, and urban planning. On the basis of these ideas, the study has focused on three important cities: Copenhagen and its fixed link (Øresund bridge); Venice and its MOSE project; and Antwerp with its PROAP project along the quays"--Inside front cover flap.
