A group of Mexican architects from Estudio 3.14, in Guadalajara, designed a wall proposal that would cross the border between Mexico and the United States.
This initiative, with a hint of parody, is a protest against newly-elected, American president Donald Trump’s threats. He insists that Mexico will pay for a wall to prevent the arrival of illegal immigrants to the United States.
According to the Mexican press, the study is part of a movement which states that all tyrants had an architect to carry out their big ideas. As a result, they went ahead to propose a pink, four-floor-high, 100-meter-wide wall.
Hassanaly Ladha, French and Literary, Francophone Studies professor at the University of Connecticut, was the creator of such an idea. He is Muslim and he is worried about Trump’s victory. As consequence, he proposed to his friend Leonardo Díaz Borioli, director of Estudio 3.14, to devise a wall that also works as a prison to incarcerate undocumented people, process them and deport them.
This is a reference to Trump’s proposal, who intends to take out 11 million immigrants from the US. There is also an option so people can legally enter the country.
The cost of the wall is also ridiculous: 30 billion dollars, which would be paid in 16 years.
