Peace Spine - Unifying Walls within Belfast

In a time in which conflict is expressed in the built environment through the erection of walls and the fortification of borders, an architecture that challenges division by inviting participants to change the space of that division over time, is one that necessarily calls into question the nature of the present state versus future becoming. This project takes on the question of borders by spatializing conflict, and proceeds by using that very architecture to anticipate change. It invites segregated communities to claim their space in a border in Belfast, Ireland, by turning that border into space, allowing participants to change the nature of the architecture and its use over time while attenuating the divisive nature it seeks to overcome.
