Their presence reshapes places and communities, and the meaning of belonging itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArchitects, researchers and artists follow militarisation from Latvia's fortified eastern border to Lebanon's damaged ecosystems, protest sites in Tbilisi and gated enclaves across Latin America. Drawing on architecture, geopolitics and landscape studies, the contributions treat landscape not as a passive setting but as an active record of political decisions, collective anxiety and shifting ideas of security, and ask what futures these borderlands might still make possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by Liene Jākobsone, co-curator of the Latvian Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributions from 20 authors, including Theo Deutinger, Sven Biscop, Vanessa Miriam Carlow and Pieter Uyttenhove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotography by Reinis Hofmanis, Daniel Dubowitz and Michiel De Cleene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned by Alexey Murashko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow new defence infrastructure is changing the landscape and everyday life along Latvia's eastern border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe spatial consequences of conflict in Lebanon, Georgia and Latin America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow borders are built, experienced and contested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the role of borders is changing in the 21st century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Editor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiene Jākobsone is an architect.
