The contributors in this issue address the emergence of spatial ideas that define the new relationship between inside and outside, between interior and architecture.

This paper proposes that designing the relationships between inside and outside involves subtle renegotiations and redefinitions of conventionalised notions of their boundaries and a resultant …
