Border City

Border City - Chapter 2 continues the international, interfaculty and interdisciplinary research expedition to the Mexican-American border with students studying civil engineering, fine arts and urbanism in 2016. Back in Mexico, it is about identifying, documenting and demonstrating changes in life circumstances and structural problems. This time the focus lays on the self-organized bottom-up initiatives in Tijuana.More recently than ever, the border between San Diego and Tijuana shows the international foreclosure tendencies and concomitant conflict potential as an example for the whole world.The project group again investigated cross-disciplinary and holistic solutions, in the spirit of the Bauhaus concept.With contributions from: Prof. Liz Bachhuber, Prof. Dr.-Ing.
