Arens de la ciudad

The graduation studio Borders-the Architecture of violence researches on border conditions at rigid borders, where two worlds collide. The focus of the studio was on the border between the United States of America and Mexico. This border with a long history of conflicts, alterations and discrepancies has unfortunately caused for a mostly negative perception of the border area. The project proposes a very public and attractive program in the form of a new bullfighting arena in the city center of Ciudad Juarez. The project is located on one of the major connecting spines between the two city centers and is easy accessible from both cities. This spine links the downtown area of El Paso to the border bridge and the bullfighting arena in Ciudad Juarez creating a strong connection between them. As a part of an overall masterplan to reconnect the cities the project aims to do this on all scales, from a very local stimulation of activity and reestablishing of the community in Mexico to connecting the border cities and with this the border region as whole
