A protest against the wall and a forecast about its future.--Allison Arieff, The New York Times Rael\'s courageous mixture of subversion and compromise is not going to hide the affront that the border represents to those who live south of it.--London Review of Books Borderwall as Architecture explores how architects can undermine the wall not just structurally, but conceptually.

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 pe
