Un-Wall the Border

Does the wall offer any real opportunity to contribute through design to the improvement of living conditions for those whose lives, for different reasons, happen to be suspended, stalled, or fractured in between the two sides of the border? In order to challenge conventional conceptions and offer alternative approaches, the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and the Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM) organized a joint design workshop, conducted a research of concepts, analyzed specific sites along the border and submitted proposals. This book presents the process and its results.
