The Limit of Inclusiveness Project & Exhibition "The question was: How could architects avoid seeing architecture and planning as a faithful product of dominant society, viewing their craft on the contrary, as a catalyst for change? Could architects reverse the proposition and, instead of serving a conservative society that acted upon our cities, have the city itself act upon society?" Bernard Tschumi

The current project, "The Limits of Inclusiveness" comprise of a design proposal that acts as a critique of the sanitization and segregation of Russell Sq. and some other squares in London that were recently "regenerated.” The regeneration pushed out many of the urban nomads who inhabited these public places and made these spaces dreary and dull. Transgressive Architecture's design proposal will introduce an extreme diversification of the Russell Square landscape and use it as an inventory for more radical design ideas for inner city public spaces.

The first stage of "The Limits of Inclusiveness,” carried out during 2004-5 was the design of ephemeral structures and devices (Transborderlines) by the Transgressive Architecture Interior Architecture studio at University of Brighton School of Architecture & Design. This work was exhibited in April 2005 at 66 East – Centre for Urban culture, Amsterdam.
The exhibition catalogue can be downloaded from this site.

Currently Transgressive Architecture is planning an exhibition of the next stage of the project in the UK.
