We demonstrate how quantum walk can simulate exotic cell-like structures for topological phases and boundary states. These cell-like structures contain the three known boundary states of Dirac cone, Fermi arc and flat bands alongside of all trivial and non-trivial phases of BDI family of topological phases. We also characterize the behavior of boundary states through Bloch spheres. In addition, we investigate the topological phase transitions and critical behavior of the system that take place over boundary states through curvature function. We confirm that critical behavior of the simulated topological phenomena can be described by peak-divergence scenario. We extract the critical exponents and length scale, establish a scaling law and show that band crossing is 1. Furthermore, we find the correlation function through Wannier states and show that it decays as a function of length scale.
