living together at a border

'Living together on the border.'

For the development of the concept I left out a section.

It is the section that gives an insight in the interaction or lack of it between permanent residents and non-permanent residents and if there is a difference between them.

More importantly, if these residents come in contact with bystanders, how the boundaries are set and dealt with.

This ‘slice of the community” gives an insight of daily life, where they enjoy a meal together inside or outside the development, where their children can play togethern where they can stay for a holiday break, where they can study etc.


But it is also a place where you can enjoy your holiday become or where can be studied etc.A meeting place where there is a passing boundary is between public, common and private.

The relationship between the repeated housing units and the specific units serving the entire community is analogous to the relationship in a hotel between the separate rooms and the collective space. "The international style, Hitchcock and Johnson, 1932.
