The Other Border Wall Proposals - April 4, 2017

April 14, 2017

On April 4, 2017,  J.M. Design Studios submitted our proposals to the US Border and Customs Control Agency for The Other Border Wall.  This was a public RFQ that our design team signed up to bid on.  We got covered in all the major media outlets including Time, CNN Money, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, The San Diego Union Tribune, The Chicago Tribune, The Verge, and many others.  

J.M. Design Studios is an all-women team composed of Tereneh Mosley, Leah Patgorski, and myself.  The next phase of our plan is to build prototypes of some of these ideas in the San Diego desert, near Trump's top picks. 

In this case, my favorite comes from Pittsburgh-based J.M. Studio - whose seemingly nonsensical designs include a wall of 3 million hammocks and a wall of lighthouses, the latter adorned with eyes that allude the border patrol's watchful glance. It's sure to be rejected by the Trump administration. But as in the royal courts of medieval times, the jester tells the truth. - The San Diego Union Tribune
