of borders are scalefree, it doesn't matter how big they are;
from a window frame to the border between two countries.
This ability to jump scales is disconcerting to designers, who are
used to working within very restricted dimensions. The results
also cut across professional boundaries that separate interior
design, architecture, urban design, and planning. And yet,
despite the traditional separation of disciplines, the relevant

Architecture primarily defines space by separating one
area from another, and the requirement of this is creating
differentiation between inside and outside. At the beginning of

the natural environment outside. The inside and outside could
not exist without each other. This essential relationship served
