Paperback. Condición: New. Borderwall as Architecture is an artistic and intellectual hand grenade of a book, and a timely re-examination of what the physical barrier that divides the United States of America from the United Mexican States is and could be. It is both a protest against the wall and a projection about its future. Through a series of propositions suggesting that the nearly seven hundred miles of wall is an opportunity for economic and social development along the border that encourages its conceptual and physical dismantling, the book takes readers on a journey along a wall that cuts through a "third nation"-the Divided States of America. On the way the transformative effects of the wall on people, animals, and the natural and built landscape are exposed and interrogated through the story of people who, on both sides of the border, transform the wall, challenging its existence in remarkably creative ways. Coupled with these real-life accounts are counterproposals for the wall, created by Rael's studio, that reimagine, hyperbolize, or question the wall and its construction, cost, performance, and meaning.Rael proposes that despite the intended use of the wall, which is to keep people out and away, the wall is instead an attractor, engaging both sides in a common dialogue. Included is a collection of reflections on the wall and its consequences by leading experts Michael Dear, Norma Iglesias-Prieto, Marcello Di Cintio, and Teddy Cruz.…

Soft cover. Condición: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. In "Borderwall as Architecture," the authors challenge conventional perceptions of the U.S.-Mexico border wall, presenting it not merely as a security measure but as a significant architectural phenomenon that shapes landscapes and communities. The book argues that the wall can be viewed through the lens of architecture and urbanism, inviting readers to consider its aesthetic, social, and political dimensions.The manifesto highlights the implications of border walls and barriers in contemporary society, exploring how they function as symbols of division and exclusion while also serving as sites for potential artistic intervention and reimagining. It presents a range of perspectives, including those of architects, artists, and activists, who offer critical insights into the design and impact of the border wall.Through a series of essays, illustrations, and case studies, the book examines how the border wall affects identity, culture, and the environment on both sides of the boundary. The authors explore the historical context of border architecture and its evolution, addressing issues of immigration, security, and human rights.The visually rich content of "Borderwall as Architecture" includes photographs, drawings, and conceptual designs that illustrate the potential for rethinking the wall as a space for creativity and dialogue. The authors advocate for a more humane and inclusive approach to border design, suggesting that architecture can play a role in bridging divides rather than reinforcing them.Overall, "Borderwall as Architecture: A Manifesto for the U.S.-Mexico Boundary" is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of architecture, politics, and culture. It challenges readers to reconsider the role of borders in contemporary society and to envision new possibilities for connection and understanding in a divided world.…
