It will be beautiful. (Estudio 3.14)

Plenty of politicians and academic types have condemned the border wall Donald Trump wants to build between the US and Mexico as a folly.

But it’s hard to imagine any words carrying the weight of the massive and very pink barrier designed by a Mexican architectural firm to the exact specs of the Republican presidential nominee. The tongue-in-cheek project, which was created by Estudio 3.14, includes floor plans, maps and detailed computer drawings conceived and drafted by the company’s interns.

The stated goal: “allow the public to imagine the policy proposal in all of its gorgeous perversity.” It’s working, says Norberto Miranda, the firm’s spokesman, adding that they’ve received comments against Trump’s wall from across the world.
