This collection seeks to explore alternative definitions of bounded
identities, facilitating new approaches to spatial and
architectural forms. Taking as its starting point the emergence of
a new sense of ‘boundary’ emerged from the post-19th century
dissolution of large, heterogeneous empires into a mosaic of
nation-states in the Islamic world. This new sense of boundaries
has not only determined the ways in which we imagine and construct
the idea of modern citizenship, but also redefines relationships
between the nation, citizenship, cities and architecture. It brings
critical perspectives to our understanding of the interrelation
between the accumulated flows and the evolving concepts of boundary
in predominantly Muslim societies and within the global Muslim
diaspora. Essays in this book seeks to investigate how architecture
mediates the creation and deployment of boundaries and boundedness
that have been devised to define, enable, obstruct, accumulate
and/or control flows able to disrupt bounded territories or
identities. More generally, the book explores how architecture
might be considered as a means to understand the relationship
between flows and boundaries and its implication of defining modern
self. The essays in this volume collectively address how the
construction of self is primarily a spatial event and operated
within the crucial nexus of power-knowledge-space. Contributors
investigate how architecture mediates the creation and deployment
of boundaries and boundedness, how architecture might be considered
as a means to understand the relationship between flows and
boundaries and its implications for how we define the modern self.
