Borders of housing complexes

This mapping is about the physical+mental borders of the housing complexes along the cross-section from Adnan Saygun Road trough the Dereboyu Valley to the Zorlu Center at Besiktas district.
The walls, gates and other both architectural and non-architectural (trees etc.) elements of the built environment constitute physical as well as mental borders that limits/isolates users or gives a kind of place feeling to the users. The borders that users experience can differ from place to place and time to time.
The housing complexes along the cross-section give me a feeling of being isolated from the inside or outside at different levels. I tried to interpret this feeling through mapping.
