Adjusting the Nations Edge

The border between the U.S. and Mexico has been conceived as a barrier which privileges the present dominate power and diminishes the potential of the in-between to critique and rebalance the experience of the status quo. Informed by studies of social geometry of family meetings at the border fence, the project reconsiders a thickened border condition to express culture attitudes toward space and object-making.

On weekends families, friends and lovers gather at the division fence to see their loved ones who for many reasons have been divided by the fence.

The site is on the south-west corner of the united states with direct contact with Mexico. The present accomodation allows public access to the U.S. side on weekends between 10am and 2pm. No touching is possible because of the distance created by the barrier.

Through studies of social geometry that take place during gatherings on the site.

And by using the construction method of the Equipal, a traditional mexican wood and leather chair. A system was developed to morph into seating, shade and surfaces to provide the spatial needs to make the border fence a more humane fence.

Family Gathering at the Border Fence

Visitor Center Interior Application

Equipal - Traditional Mexican Chair

Visitor Center Interior Application

The system was first applied on an existing structure meant to serve as a Visitor Center for families to have the opportunity to gather without barriers. The Existing structure is part of the Tijuana River Estuary that is north of the dividing fence.

Finally, the system was applied directly to the fence itself, creating a thickended border condition for more intimate gatherings called the in-between. A large, a small and a Altar/Communion space were designed to accomodate all spatial needs.

Site Mappings Cooks Bay, Moorea The Gump Station is located on cooks bay and is a research center ran by UC Berkley. Cooks Hotel is located across the bay and is to be considered as part of the site available.

Because water is abundant in the bay and fresh water scarcity had been an issue in the past, the site chosen for my project was the bay itself. To create a direct connection between both sites through the bay without the travel distance or time driving, walking or cycling through land.

Rituals and site conditions were explored and from such program was designated.

Program Surface

Kinetic Device

The purpose of this surface was to be designed as a solution in respect to scarcity of resources on the island, as well as to further inform and encourage the use of materials and energy in an efficient manner.

Water being a scarce resource world wide, provided a relatively easy solution. Rainwater catchment was already introduced in the previously device designed and the surface soon reflected the geometric shape of the device. The surface also needed to be kinetic with vertical and horizontal planes as well as having two sides that were pro-grammatically different.

To satisfy the requirements the design approach that was taken was to provide a series of water catchment modules that each responded to a different need with in the program.

This device was created in collaboration with one of the craft school students. The student provided the project with a device that could potentially measure water current, coral depth and could also provide a personal rain water catchment storage. The program assigned to the site was administrative offices and the device must also include some use for such program, so documentation supplies were added.

The design concept of this device was based from the students own displayed work at a local craft museum.

A canoe with paddles displaying motifs from different islands was used to develop this device.

Section B

Section drawings are showing the complexity of its structure and its water filtering system as well as floating system. Additional details are focused on kinetic furniture that are built-in to the structure for better use of space and safety. Floor system is at an angle for draining purposes and so is the roof plane. The viewing deck is also angled to filter in any water on the surface, a metal grating grid lays over the angled roof top to allow walking and viewing. Each module is designed for a specific necessity with in its program and the details provided show the various uses for furnishings and space.

All of the modules sit on tin floaters commonly used on house boats, above the floaters the fiberglass water tanks sit and the necessary framing and structural support sits over such. Additional structural support is provided with brass columns on each module, glass and wood railings are provided for occupant safety. Sliding doors, double and single hinge panels also protect the modules from the humid environment.
