因为美国政府的一系列打击毒品贩运、非法移民和贩卖武器的活动明显没有达到预期成果，甚至对于人道主义精神和环境还将带来灾难性的影响。唐纳德•特朗普政府将重新启动一个被美国上一届政府所取消的项目。

当前隔离墙的设置，让死亡人数不断上涨（过去二十年中甚至有8000多具尸体被人们所发现）；毕竟，这些不法分子仍然会寻找更危险的方式，如穿过亚利桑那州的沙漠或者里约热内卢的河流。根据专家统计，经济危机、人道主义和生态成本并没有阻止这些移民的非法闯入。在过去二十年中，政府在边境已经设置隔离墙、传感器、监控摄像、卫星和其他高端技术，边境检查人员的数量也比过去增加了518％，目前已达到21,000人，但是这些措施甚至都无法阻止那些移民追求更美好的生活。


项目位置

来到城市周围的山上，您可以看到美国诺加利斯与墨西哥的交界处的隔离墙，墙体远离城市、穿过干旱的沙漠。墨西哥诺加利斯是新移民的聚会点，是南方的新移民评估是否继续前往美国还是返回家园的地方，这里还有帮助移民的志愿者和组织。当前的隔离墙体由高钢梁组成，排列成两排，工作人员每天在这里监控货物和过境人员，这里还有几座神社用以缅怀了一名在此处失去生命的移民，还有一些把墙壁作为画布的艺术作品。


挑战

该项目主要针对美国与墨西哥的分界点诺加利斯市，Archstorming Team正在征求方案，目的是消除现有的建筑物和隔离墙，从而建立一个共享空间，用以表达对移民的尊重的同时，也让这块区域便于监督。


竞赛项目

Archstorming鼓励所有参赛者用其他方式体现边界感，从而建立一个具有社会包容性的空间，并且消除现有的隔离墙。在此提出以下要求：
- 迁移检查站空间
- 移除现有隔离墙
- 两个城市居民的会议空间
- 展厅/多功能厅
- 办公室
- 浴室
- 适当的公共室外空间

参赛者所提供的无墙边境方案，如果主办方认为合适，那么主办方则拥有修改该方案的权力。此外，我们建议方案涉及以下主题：
- 使用建筑来促进社会凝聚力
- 研究及创造非侵入性边界空间
- 使用适应环境的建筑体量
- 创建公共空间

是否拆除目前的移民检查站由每个参与者个人决定。你可以保留它们也可以赋予它们其他用途。


奖励

共计3700欧元，细分如下：
第一名 - 2000欧元
第二名 - 1000欧元
第三名 - 500欧元
人气奖 - 200欧元
10名荣誉提名

此外，获奖项目或决赛入围者作品将发布在杂志、博客、建筑网页、社交网络或Archstorming网站上

Donald Trump’s main campaign promise relaunches and gives a definite boost to an old and obsolete project of physical separation that had been abandoned by the last US governments, given the manifest inefficiency to obtain the intended results of tackling drug trafficking, illegal immigration and arms trafficking and which would actually bring disastrous humanitarian and environmental consequences.
As it has happened with the construction of the current barriers, the number of deaths is expected to skyrocket (more than 8,000 bodies recovered in the last two decades); people who, after all, will still look for more dangerous passageways, like crossing the Arizona desert or the Rio Grande river. All these economic, humanitarian and ecological costs will not prevent, according to experts, the relentless entry of illegal immigrants driven by despair. In the last two decades walls have been built, sensors, cameras, satellites and other technologies have been installed and the amount of border agents has increased by 518% to 21,000 today, however, these measures have been proven incapable of stopping those who have left everything behind to travel thousands of miles in their quest of a better life.

LOCATION
From the hills surrounding the city you can see American Nogales separated from Mexican Nogales with a wall that extends far beyond the city through the arid desert. Mexican Nogales is a meeting point for the newly deported, the newcomers from the south who assess whether to continue their trip to the United States or to return home, and for the volunteers and organizations that help migrants. The current version of the wall is quite recent and consists of high steel beams arranged in a row with two border crossings that monitor the transit of goods and people daily, several shrines that remember the places where a migrant has lost his life and some artistic manifestations that use the wall as a canvas. Following the end of this imposing wall of solid steel appears a barrier built with old railway tracks covered with barbed wire where you can find evidence (traces) of the migrant’s bustle, such as bonfires and leftovers.

CHALLENGE
The project focuses on the current border crossing that separates the cities of Nogales. The Archstorming Team is calling for proposals to eliminate the existing buildings and the wall, building instead a space for coexistence that allows at the same time a respectful and controlled supervision of the migrants flow.

PROGRAM
Archstorming encourages all participants to demonstrate that there are other ways of building borders. To this end, it is proposed to project a non-aggressive and socially inclusive border crossing, eliminating the current wall. The following program is proposed:
– Migratory checkpoint space
– Border division that removes the current wall
– Meeting spaces for the inhabitants of both cities
– Showroom / multipurpose room
– Offices
– Bathrooms
– Interventions in the public outdoor space
As long as the participant fulfills the premise of creating a wall-less border crossing, the program may be discretionally modified if deemed appropriate.
In addition, we recommend that the proposals address the following topics:
– Use of architecture to promote social cohesion
– Research into the creation of non-intrusive barriers
– Use of volumetrics adapted to the environment
– Creation of public spaces
Whether or not to eliminate the buildings currently used as a migratory checkpoint is an individual decision of each participant. You can keep them or give them a different use.

AWARDS
Prizes totaling 3.700€, broken down as follows:
1st PRIZE – 2.000€
2nd PRIZE – 1.000€
3rd PRIZE – 500€
PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD – 200€
+10 HONORABLE MENTIONS
In addition, the winning projects or finalists can be published in magazines, blogs or architecture web pages, social networks or the Archstorming website
