7th arquine international competition :: english
------------------------------------------------------------
introduction
the growth of the 14 twin cities along the united states-mexico border has been considerable over the last decade, due in large part to the economic development stimulated by the boom of the maquiladora industry under nafta.
this economic growth has generated a massive migration of mexicans to the northern border zone in search of jobs. it is estimated that some 300,000 illegal immigrants enter the united states every year.
this two fold phenomenon of migration and maquiladoras has transformed ciudad juárez-el paso into one of the largest and most complex border communities in the world, with a population of 2,000,000 and economic growth of 5% annually.
the new communities tend to spread out in irregular
developments on either side of the frontier.
such is the case of anapra, a border neighborhood to
the west of ciudad juárez.
facing anapra on the other side of the line, as el paso faces ciudad juárez, is sunland park, new mexico.
program
a pedestrian crossing from anapra [ciudad juárez] to sunland park, new mexico, at the intersection of the international line and the main thoroughfare of anapra, with immigration control stations on either side. the stations will work together to provide security to pedestrians crossing legally. unlike most border crossings with their heavy circulation of vehicular traffic, this one will only serve pedestrians. there will be a bus station and parking lot on either side of the border.
areas to be developed on either side of the border:
1. parking for 30 vehicles.
2. bus station with capacity for 10 buses.
3. pedestrian arrival area.
4. bridge.

of justice [36 m2]
the principal function of this department is the inspection

6. customs -department of the treasury [32 m2]
this office reviews and charges customs duties and taxes. the inspection process includes searching for illegal merchandise and contraband. requirements are a waiting area [6 m2 , a work area [6 m2], an inspection area [4 m2], a vault [4 m2 ] and three offices [4 m2 each].
