| Summary: | Under the direction of Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao, thirteen architecture studios and students across the United States and Mexico undertook the monumental task of attempting to capture the complex and dynamic region of the US-Mexican border. Two Sides of the Border envisions the borderland through five themes, migration, housing and cities, creative industries, local production, tourism and territorial economies. Building on a long shared history in the region, the projects covered in this volume use design and architecture to address social, political and ecological concerns along the shared border. Featuring essays, student projects, interviews, special research and a large photo project by Iwan Baan, Two Sides of the Border highlights the distinct qualities of this place. Altogether the book uses the tools of architecture, research and photography to articulate an alternate reality within a contested region. |
