Border Town: An independent design studio about divided cities, led by Tim Maly and Emily Horne. From the website:
Your farm is completely surrounded by a foreign country because the king lost it in a game of cards. You live in Cooch Behar.
You are eating at a cafe when you are informed that it must close. If you’ll just shift to a table in the other country, service is still available. This cafĂ© is in Baarle/Hertog.
You work in the mayor’s office. Down the hall is a parallel mayor’s office with a whole mirror set of city officials to govern the other half of your city. You work in Texarkana.
Border towns are the extreme edge of where geography and politics collide. They throw the abstractions of governance into sharp physical relief. They are a fertile site for investigation into questions of security, freedom, architecture, immigration, trade, smuggling, sovereignty, and identity.Your farm is completely surrounded by a foreign country because the king lost it in a game of cards.
