This dissertation takes the form of an exploration of dematerialisation in architecture, looking at the evolution of imaginary and physical spatial boundaries over time. The main challenge of this research is to understand how these increasingly fluid and open boundaries have shaped and continue to shape our perceptions of space.
The visible frontiers we are familiar with often hide more subjective limits. The subjectivity of these limits becomes real thanks to the perceptions and emotions of the users themselves.
Space only acquires its reality, tangibility and living character thanks to these boundaries, which delimit it and differentiate it from beyond, from somewhere outside. These boundaries are thus the real generators of spatiality, structuring spaces and giving them a vocation.
