Editorial: What Won't You Build?

摘要

The 2016 election has sparked political engagement in the architecture community like I've never seen. The wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, in particular, has emerged as a flashpoint. On March 10, the first deadline in the Department of Homeland Security's ' request for proposals for the wall, the Architecture Lobby organized a job walkout. Critic Paul Goldberger, HON. AIA, tweeted, "Any architect who responds to this [RFP] has sacrificed his/her professional integrity on the altar of Trump." And students at Barnard, Columbia, Cornell, Ohio State, Rice, Texas Tech, and Yale posted signs in their windows proclaiming, "We won't build your wall."
