The intern program at Estudio 3.14—a design firm based in Guadalajara, México— in collaboration with the Mamertine Corporation of the United States, has developed a sall along the Mexican-American border including architectural renderings of the structure in various border landscapes (hills, desert, a border crossing over a river, and in urban Tijuana), floor plans, iconography, and an infographic, as well as symbolic use of the wall on the American currency.
Because the wall has to be beautiful, it has been inspired in by Luis Barragán's pink walls that are emblematic of Mexico. It also takes advantage of the tradition in architecture of megalomaniac wall building. Moreover, the wall is not only a wall—as you can see in the hill landscape cross-section: it is a prison where 11 million undocumented people will be processed, classified, indoctrinated, and/or deported.
We hope that these visuals will allow the public to imagine the policy proposal in all of its gorgeous perversity.
