project _ Office KGDVS _ Border Crossing
more: +
Because this project is fascinating and it’s intellectual content comes as much from the images as the architect’s written words, they are copied below:
“An oblong volume provides a border crossing for pedestrians between Mexico and the US, and interrupts the endless demarcated boundary. A nine-metre high wall defines a no-man’s-land between the two countries. Within the white walls a grid of palm trees imposes order on a large, shaded garden. Pavilions for passport control and administration are spread around here and there, becoming part of the garden. The oasis is a point of reference in the vast Tex-Mex landscape, its content hidden from the open landscape by its massive walls. In all its simplicity it raises questions about the desire for the promised land. Open competition, first prize. In collaboration with Wonne Ickx.”
