競賽背景 / Competition background
美墨邊境經常被描繪成暴力和犯罪定義的危險場所。需要牆壁的地方。
實際上，邊界以和平訪問和慶祝和平，生產性關係為最深刻的標誌。跨越國際邊界並超越分裂的友誼，家庭紐帶，藝術和文化。
建立友誼公園是為了團結我們兩國人民。其中心是一個圓形的兩國廣場和紀念碑，標誌著美墨戰爭的結束。
目前，公園的牆壁被厚重的金屬網所覆蓋，這限制了聚集在這裡的朋友，家人和親人之間的任何身體接觸-永久分裂而不是原本打算的統一。
通過履行國際友誼公園的最初承諾，我們可以開創國際和平與友誼的新時代。
該概念設計構想了公園的廣闊視野，並將在明年的過程中進行完善，以紀念2021年8月公園成立50週年。

THE INTERNATIONAL PIER
Imagine a bi-national pier extending out into the Pacific Ocean from the westernmost edge of the proposed bi-national park. We invite your visions in this first of four design competitions that explore International Friendship Park at the US Mexican border at the Pacific Ocean. This 1,954 mile ( 3,145 km ) border terminates at this location, a place of great beauty and great potential. There are no restrictions to the length, width, or character of this pier. It may be made of any material and be of any character. It will celebrate cooperation and can encompass any use.
PHASE 2

THE COURTYARD FOR FREE SPEECH
The courtyard is 200’ x 200’, and is centered on the international border line. It may be any distance from the sea that the designers choose. The walls may be of any height, of any material, and as porous or solid as the designer thinks appropriate. There are no programmatic requirements but any use is allowed.
PHASE 3

THE BOARDWALK
There currently exists a wonderful seaside boardwalk just inside the Mexican border. This boardwalk will continue to exist within the boundaries of International Friendship Park. Adjacent to this boardwalk are vibrant restaurants, businesses, residences and shops. All of these uses will remain within the new bi-national park. The challenge it to extend this seaside walkway to the northern edge of International Friendship Park.
PHASE 4

THE HISTORIC BULLRING
This existing structure is no longer used for the purpose of bullfighting. The structure itself is quite beautiful and the challenge is to assume a use that allows large group gatherings, concerts, lectures etc. The base can be ringed with uses on the exterior as well. The structure may be carved, covered, an otherwise modified.
