“…Dakle, zid je u ovom kontekstu najavljivao promjenu kodeksa ponašanja, odnosno, najavljivao je prag na kojem stranac postaje posjetilac/ gost od kojeg se očekuje (re)definiranje sebe u skladu s normama grupe kojoj prostor obilježen zidom pripada. 4 Uspostavljanjem relacije mentalne slike ograđenog prostora i dojma odredišta kretanja zid je postao reprezentacija naselja, što će poslije prerasti u reprezentacije gradova, a zatim i država. Jean François Sobry u svom djelu De l' architecture (u: Kostof, 1991, 38) tvrdi da grad bez zidova nije grad, što ukazuje na značaj ograničenjā u percepciji grada uopće.…”

Architecture has the role to mediate communication and fabrication of perception of truth and dogmas of a society in certain space and time, and the wall, as the most accessible element, plays a significant role in this process as the bearer of the symbolic-representational function of architecture, thus overcoming its tectonic definition. The position of the wall at the interface of intention of blocking and permeating socio-spatial flows within the urbo-architectural ensemble makes it a liminal artifact subject to multiple interpretations. For this reason, numerous aspects of recognized binding narratives – protection, communication, marking and memory – were examined, indicating the existence of transcendence of the idea and concept of sanctity throughout the history of construction. Goal of this paper is to examine the existence of relationship between the inherent liminality of the wall and the type of narrative that men define responding to recognized liminality, that is, the origin of man’s need for enclosure – for barriers that are the product of seeking and creating sense and meaning in truths and dogmas. One of the answers lies in theological philosophy as the cause of structural dogmas in architecture, which through a metaphorical expression based on the subjective pathological dogmatism of the religious conception of the world can realize a literal collective interpretation through the artefact of the wall.
