I noticed that his buildings that he designed had walls too...maybe thats to keep thiefs from stealing stuff??? I bet i can shoot a canon through his windows though and still be able to get in...stupid stupid walls...
Thought exercise?? He's pushing for normalization of a wall. That'll lead to more consequences. You can't try to put in fun without taking into account all the people with terrible intentions. The real world is a violent one, not this fantasy he dabbled on.
These delightfully imaginative ideas made me smile! What if, indeed, borders were designed as places where different cultures meet and mix. Like, shopping malls and various public places. Instead, they're often desolate places with very little infrastructure. I think there's a missed business opportunity right there. :)
He rightly explain why walls work. Look around you...everything we have is almost medieval. Should we throw them away? Chairs...they work. Buttons for our clothes and even cloths in general are medieval. Spoons and folks we eat with. Roads are medieval. America is a country. Mexico is a country. Just like company's have walls..you don't get to walk in and start working. There's a process. Follow it. Don't cheat the system.
Legal immigration paperwork killed US translators, their familys and a few soldiers who comitted suicide since they were in Iraq, legal imitation ripped familys apart because "your ded husbands children aren't you children".
The comments intrigues me and disappoints me on what we have become as a people. Far right and left chiming in on politics and policy vs the message and artistic statement. I personally like the tetertoder design.
These projects and attitudes are specific to the wall between US and Mexico, the Israeli border walls have a much different history and are about the issues in that specific location
one's opinion/outlook of a wall is going to depend solely on one's political and world views; no matter how 'smart/educated'; or not; one is. if you are extremely liberal, you are going to have this architect's open boarders view.
@0xygenIsOverRatedappreciate that but pretty broad brush there you're using.they can't all be dumb or ill. i really do not fully understand how or why some people think what they think. pretty sure something to do with the devil, the ruler of this world, though.
@White Privilege good points, WP and if you are defining what the libs do as mental; i can't really say your definition is not legit. i just think (maybe incorrectly) if the problem is just stupidity or mental illness, then it seems to me they would not have very functional lives elsewhere, and presumably; they do. my viewpoint is they are affected by evil. maybe some semantics; maybe some word viewpoint differences btw us?
Walls are not just only medievial, they are as old as life and and an essential, timeless, selective principle that allows different milieus to develop within the spaces between.
Sure ReUnite them by going thru the legal process as all of our families had to do!! Umm this guy must have forgotten Ellis Island and how our families were vetted
Probably forgot that most families don't want to reunite with their kid for the sake of having their kid stay in america with a family member here or even in a foster home and unite later when the child can get their parents papers a few years later.
You can clearly see this guys personal political opinions when he uses "Medieval" as an insult. I happen to really like Medieval Architecture, and models based on them.
Beautiful thoughts on Architecture and human connections, but many of these blaintently ignore complex political and legal issues that our leaders have to solve. This is why the founding fathers didn't want career politicians, so that these ideas could be proposed next to the ones that divide and a compromise could be reached.
They rebuke the USA, but ignore the harsh rules of immigration in Mexico and everywhere else! Don't ask the USA to have completely open borders if you don't ask the same for every other nation!
@@EmmanuelMess Its true that Mercosur has rather porous borders with our southern neighboors. But thats the catch: WE ARE VERY SIMILAR. As in, we have a similar culture to each other, we are roughly the same in terms of GDP per capita, so on, so forth.
@@EmmanuelMess It is hyperbole, obviously there will be some exceptions to the rule. The EU is mostly irrelevant if the border is not open for people outside of the EU. That is only conditional open borders.
@@EmmanuelMess The EU has more cultural diversity, but there still is QUITE the process to become an EU country, which serves to test if that nation would be resonant with the rest of the EU (and its not fullproof, as you can see by the current confusion regarding Hungary and Poland), which is why countries like Ukraine and Turkey are not members.
The number of comments here by people who think a 30 foot tall wall will be built across 2,000 miles of desert and mountains, when no progress has been made halfway through this term, is absurd. The Berlin Wall was continuously worked on for decades until the day it was torn down, and had to be perpetually staffed. It was 11 feet high and 60 miles long. It's a shame so many Americans have lost any and all connection to reality.
Did you ever think when you say reunite the families. If the parents would not have done something stupid to begin with like cross the border illegally they would not be separated from their children and loved ones. Very simple. If they would have came through legally then their family would still be together. Think about it people
I love this! This is a way to still foster connection and humanity while still meeting the bureaucracy . You are a beautiful soul and I truly hope some of these ideas are implemented!! Thank you sir
This fails to look at all aspects of a wall, which includes border security. There are strawman arguments being presented here, also. This Ted talk disappoints.
@@heikkipalola6760 Those are potential problems that have yet to be fully realized, hence the term "strawman arguments".

It’s been proven that by enriching communities and bringing people together, crime usually dies down, it also comes back to demand, more time in a library would reduce time in criminal activity
@@b_uppy yeah, like it's that difficult to send a quick whatsapp message across the border with a GPS location and time stamp of where and when you're going to aim that catapult/cannon... They're already doing this and because you need nothing more than two cars, almost nobody ever catches them... Also, there are 28 different countries in the EU with no real borders in between them, some even running through cities or houses, so if you'd really want to solve the problem, you could.
Allow Mexico into the USA. Then put the border at the end of Mexico btw. Mexico and south america. Then you wouldn't need such a large wall. Only a few miles of wall would be needed if you extend the border to include mexico. Problem solved. I'm sure it's not so simple, but, that would definatly be an idea ? Idk?
I have wondered why the people haven't gathered and applied for entrance as a new state. Obviously many want to be in the United States so why not try to make it official as a state.
Rite, Seems like it would solve the problem for everyone? IDK? Surly wouldnt bother me any im half spanish anyway, Born in the states but mother american farther spanish. @@mishihernandez6823
I'm more concerned with restoring FATHER rights and reuniting children with parents that have been alienated by "single mothers". We have a real problem of families being broken up here in the United states. Many times men are alienated for the smallest of grievances while the mother is awarded child support and alimony. But these people actually endanger their kids lives and we have to want to reunite them? Get the eff outta here
