Book Competition: Border-Land-Scapes

Competition Closes: Friday 2nd October 2026

Published this year by Ruby Press, the book Border-Land-Scapes brings together a selection of essays which explore the architectural and spatial manifestations of defence, violence and segregation and their impact on landscapes and people. The book, edited by architect Liene Jäcobsone, explores the role of architecture in times of conflict and considers how the discipline's spatial knowledge and sensibility might contribute to contemporary geopolitical challenges.

Thanks to Liene and Ruby Press we have a copy of Border-Land-Scape to give away and we’ve also added an extract from Liene Jäkubsone’s introduction to the book to our own online Archive here.

To enter the competition just email us at info@buildingonthebuilt.org, giving your full name and putting “Border-Land-Scapes” in the subject field. If you’re not already subscribed we’ll add you to our Mailing List.

We will select a winner at random after the deadline of midnight on Friday 2nd October 2026. Good luck!
