The project is to design a headquarters for IBWC (The International Boundary and Water Commission) in the border area between the El Paso (America) and Juarez (Mexico). The cities are separated by the Rio Grande, which serves as the borderline here. The America–Mexico border is a fluctuating, yet highly controlled political landscape. Over the past 150 years, the border has changed from an invisible and unmapped line into a 2,500-mile frontier region characterized by unique economic and spatial conditions. Especially after Trump's proposal of the construction of a border "wall", whether such huge physical walls should be built to split two countries draws attention all over the world.
