Description In a time of large refugee streams, a rise in popularity of border walls, travel bans and continuous ordering/othering practices within societies, there is an urgent need for critical perspectives that consider how people are forging alternative ways in which to respond to fortified borders and oppositions created between ‘us’ and ‘them’. Thesis projects under this theme address the different levels of freedom of movement as experienced in urban contexts and peripheries by people on the move and expressed in architecture, bordering practices and othering. Examples of topics are:
• Border walls and border crossings
• Refugee mobilities
• Refugee experiences within host societies/ asylum centres
• Ordering/Othering
• Mobility regimes expressed in architecture in urban contexts or border areas.
