Espacio Cero suggests an 'invisible wall' of industry for US-Mexico border

在墨西哥和美国之间，设计师和创意家Espacio Cero对总统候选人唐纳德•特朗普的墙提出一个新的且更富有成效的替代方案。作为竞选的一部分，特朗普宣称他打算驱逐所有非法移民回到他们原始国家，因此针对这项议案，据称在美国和墨西哥之间将修建了一面巨大的边界墙。

Designer and creative Espacio Cero has proposed a new and much more productive alternative to presidential candidate Donald Trump’s wall between Mexico and the United States. As part of his campaign for the presidency, Trump has outlined his intention to deport all illegal immigrants to their country of origin, going so far as to claim that a massive border wall will be constructed between the US and Mexico, with the latter fronting the bill for the project.



不仅仅是建造一面墙，沿着边境Espacio Cero 将会打造一个巨大的、相互关联的经济共同体，庆祝和鼓励这两个国家之间的交流。 Cero的方案名为“无形之墙”，通过交通网络的联系以及工业企业、公共公园和娱乐活动，沿着边境区域它将发散并连接各姊妹城市。“根据美国的ICE报道，每一个非法移民花费美国纳税人12500美元。为什么不把它投资在新的法定的工作和设施上？”建筑师提问说。

Rather than build a wall, Espacio Cero would see a vast, interconnected economic community founded along the border, to celebrate and encourage exchange between the two countries rather than condemn it. Entitled ‘the invisible wall’, Cero’s proposal involves interconnecting the various sister cities along the border area through a web of transport links and industrial enterprises as well as public parks and recreation programs. ‘According to a U.S. ICE report each undocumented immigrant costs the american taxpayers $12,500. Why not invest it in new legal jobs and facilities?’ questions the designer.



无形之墙计划表明把这些钱投资到边界的公路和火车路线网络上，促进整个区域内的货物运输和服务业。根据 Cero的说法，与墨西哥接壤的美国城市，大约有四分之一的人口生活在贫困线以下，在美国边境县的失业率为5.6%（相比，在全国其他地方4.75%）。墨西哥边境州的平均贫困率为28%，值得关注地低于37%的全国平均水平。“在整个墨西哥的领土，如果移民的人有更多的生活机会，这些墙变成无形的。”

The ‘invisible wall’ plan suggests investing this money into a border-wide network of highways and train routes, encouraging transport of goods and services throughout the region.According to Cero, approximately one-quarter of the population of the u.s. counties bordering Mexico live at or below the poverty line, with unemployment rates in US border counties at 5.6 percent (compared to 4.7 percent in the rest of the country).Mexican border states have an average poverty rate of 28 percent, significantly below the country’s national average of 37 percent.‘If immigrant people have more life opportunities through all Mexico’s territory, the wall becomes invisible’.



该项目进行一系列的建筑想象，Trump的墙看起来像什么，或者这样的一个建筑概念如何理解或重新想象。最近，墨西哥的Estudio 3.14用一系列反乌托邦的效果图设想了这面墙，它显示出庞大的边境，用充满生气的粉红色建筑把边界区域的丘陵山区一分为二。

The project follows a series of architectural imaginings of what Trump’s wall might look like, or how the idea of such a construct could be interpreted or reimagined. Recently, Mexico based Estudio 3.14 visualized the wall in a series of dystopian renderings that displayed the gargantuan border — realized in vibrant pink — bisecting the hills and mountains of the border region.
