建筑在历史上一直与时政不谋而合，也都具有功能和意义。建筑从宫殿到摩天大楼，从边境墙到监狱，都以其雄伟的，压迫性的和持续的表现力作为权利的象征。

然而艺术相比之下更灵活变动。涂鸦，抗议歌曲和书面的宣言轻轻松松就能传达建筑从未表达出的信息。造建筑的人之中少了很多积极分子。虽然建筑历史上有很多革新或乌托邦运动，但很多直到现在都是“photoshop上谈兵”。想象远比在现实中生成的项目更具场景煽动性。

川普才刚执政不久，就已经为他参选时提出的立法实施具体措施，移民禁令，威胁现移民，边境墙，废除奥巴马医改。这些都已在设计届引起轩然大波，引发了“生存还是毁灭，共谋还是反抗”的热议。


目标

原创或借鉴其他竞赛，本竞赛希望你用建筑语言表达对川普新政的反抗，现在是建筑师一展身手的时候了，用极具视觉冲击的图像能传达情绪。在如今虚假新闻横行，转发转推点赞只会让情况更糟，但有了身为建筑师你的帮助，我们可以改变世界。

Architecture is historically complicit with the policies of those in power, both symbolically and functionally. It offers not only representations of power, but also vehicles for enacting power in its most grandiose, oppressive, and physically enduring expressions, from palaces and corporate skyscrapers to border walls and prisons.
Art that opposes power, on the other hand, is more fluid. Graffiti, protest songs, and written manifestos cost nothing and are easily disseminated–all things that architecture has historically never been. As such, there is no canon of activist built architecture. And while there have been revolutionary movements and utopian visionaries in the history of architecture, only now through Photoshop and the internet can an architecture of protest and revolution truly form and proliferate, through imagery that is arguably more provocative in imagined scenarios than built projects in their real-life executions.
We are only a few weeks into his presidency and Donald Trump has already taken steps toward his promised authoritarian legislation: enacting an immigration ban, threatening existing allies, ordering the construction of a border wall, deregulating banks, attempting to repeal universal health care, reproductive rights laws, and years of environmental protection. These displays of power mongering have sent shockwaves through the design community and have already sparked debate about complicity and defiance.

THE PROPOSAL
Through original design or borrowed content, we want you to create one architectural image that communicates a clear and provocative message of critique and/or defiance towards any one of President Trump’s authoritarian legislation measures. Now is the time for architects to act, and in this era of digital and social media, and interactivity, creating high-powered visuals (our specialty) is the only way to communicate. Within this mashup culture where reposting, reblogging, and retweeting meet fake news and alternative facts is the opportunity to modify and subvert prevailing tendencies. These dynamics can be harnessed for the worse, but with your help, we can use them for the better.
