ABSTRACT
All archtecture nvolves the n-between. Buldngs medate between us and the world; they frame us, our possessons and what we do. At ts most rudmentary – such as, for example, when we make a camp on the beach – archtecture nvolves drawng a boundary between ourselves and our surroundngs, even f that boundary s no more than the edge of a towel. It s hard to thnk of a buldng that does not begn, conceptually, lke ths, even f t does not have walls. (See, for example, my descrpton of the temporary mosque n Nazareth n the Introducton to An Architecture Notebook: Wall.) Archtecture nvolves framng; and framng nvolves definng, subtractng, an nsde from the general outsde.
