Abstract | In this session we will reconsider the topic of 'borders' within the frame of religious and civil architecture around the Mediterrean world. We will reconsider the place given to 'others' in Christian spaces and architecture. We will reconsider the use of 'borders' as part of multi-ethnic space, when it is related to or has been influenced by Jewish and Muslim Cultures. We will reconsider the tensions between the center and borders as part of a construction of the 'self' versus the 'other', when the 'other' is part of a center and the 'self' is being part of the 'border'. |
