The 21st issue of komma magazine deals with boundaries, borders and limits. But what's it all about? This question is way more difficult to answer than you might think at first. Limits structure our lives — no matter if they are geographical, political, econimocal, linguistical, personal or social. But also a designer is affected by them. On the one hand boundaries serve as an orientation, but on the other hand it is important to break them down to create something entirely new. This issue shows visual works and focuses on various forms of limits in different areas of design, but also in our everyday lives. The second part gives an insight into degree theses, student works, events and exhibitions of the Faculty for Design of the University of Applied Sciences Mannheim. An inlay, which contains some interviews with different designers and studios about their experiences with borders clearly separates these two parts.
