Communication: Wall

Walls are not just boundaries. They are explanations, communications. They describe the fringe, the edge, where one thing meets another. They are the mediators. They mentor and foster ideas about US and THEM. Building one describes how one views the other. Walls are for friends just as much as enemies.

Walls reflect back to either side. They are not necessarily double-sided. They can influence view, change wind and air quality, privilege situation, establish heirarchies. They can generate electricity, kill butterflies, fence of nature preserves, delineate private from public, public from private.

Walls are layered, transitioning between solid and void, opacity and transparency, light and dark, soft and hard. Their construction is a description, a mediation, an expression, a transformation of a condition.
