Non-Identity : Meditation on Security Architecture examines the spatial and social conditions of security architecture through a speculative meditation retreat at the Detroit-Windsor international borderline. Situated on an uninhabited island at the northern terminus of the Detroit River, the design reframes border infrastructure under a proposed co-governance model. The architecture itself emerges from abandoned concrete ruins at the center of the island, revealing itself through a porous and recursive sequence; checkpoints, housing pods, commissary, and sensory deprivation chambers. Informed by nondualism, traditional military architecture, and conventions of institutional reformation, Non-Identity: Meditation on Security Architecture recognizes the inherent ambiguity of formal resolution.
