“FUSION CITIES – consolidation of movement” was an urban design seminar at TU Darmstadt in 2009.<\/p>\n

Two cities divided by a border are growing together. The moving particles of this inter-cultural exchange leave their footprint in the landscape \u2013 the urban landscape. A border is a thin line between them, an area like an enclave or an undefined moving line, sometimes not even visible.
\nIn the course we have analyzed the original state of the cities and how it got reformed by the exchange through the years.
\nWhat is strongly restricted by the border? (people, goods, \u2026)
\nWhat does not care about the border? (internet, climate, geography, culture \u2026)
\nSwitching from border and flows (network\/negative space) to city (footprint\/positive space) and back again we have drawn maps and diagrams to compare the several pairs of fusion cities.<\/p>\n

During the seminar of the summer term 2009 at PAR, TU Darmstadt, the students analyzed four different types of borders: natural, artificial, political, and social. Three analytical steps were taken by the students: borders, cities, movements to then finally distill a still image \u2018consolidation of movement\u2019.<\/p>\n
