Abstract
Addresses questions social isolation, privatization and individualization of urban sprawl. Focuses on existing boundaries fences, walled estates, commonly
present in contemporary gated society. Enables negotiation of limits between neighbors, houses, possessions and streets. Introduces human proximity to nature and other neighbors by transforming a wall of suburban possessions. Provides an instruction for porosity and density in built environment and new plans. Questions urban regulations and functional constrains which shape alleged freedom of suburban citizens
