Improvised shelter by the Mexican - U.S. border wall. On February 23rd 2018, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office published The Final Report on Bo
(...) rder Wall Mockup and Prototype Test. It presents, amongst other, various breaching and scaling tests of the eight future border wall prototypes proposed by Homeland Security in response to Donald Trump’s Executive Order #13767.
The prototypes were nothing else, but a demonstration of power. They were not integrated into the new structure of the border wall that had been gradually replacing the old recycled Vietnam War helicopter landing panels. The project reflects upon the design of geographical and political division. It is dedicated to architecture of control and its impact on local landscape and urban structures. © Rafał Milach | Magnum Photos
