A US design collective Third Mind Foundation has announced an international design competition to design a wall on the border between the US and Mexico, in response to ideas of border security floated in the US presidential debate.
The real-estate tycoon and leading candidate in the Republican Presidential Primaries, Donald Trump has proposed to tackle the issue of migration by building a wall along the US-Mexican border. The idea is nicknamed The Great Wall of Trump.

the competition is open and anonymous, with the first prize award of $5,000 for the entry that best tackles the practical and conceptual challenges of the proposal.

In the interest of full disclosure not my work.
no need for spotter and sniper, just set up automatic Century mini guns every 1000 yards and the check them weekly to reload.
Make it like this only TALLER/THICKER!

AND ELECTRIC and MINED!
I think it should combine all of the best features of the Berlin Wall, the DMZ, and the Great Wall of China.
They can put tacos, burritos, and tamales in their side, and we can put dollars in our side.

Way to go Ted. “limited, linear thinking”...I like that.
Cool idea, but I’m thinking “Drones”!

You don’t even have to shoot them. Use the new pain ray guns. I hear they are very effective.
I'm a Cruz supporter, and I say there are MANY ways the U.S. can get Mexico to pay for the wall.
I'll entertain two, and maybe more if there are bets.

It’s a problem.
the problem with a design contest is if you get a lot of “designers” rather than builders, it may look great but not be feasible. I’d rather bid the job out to somebody who knows how to build stuff like that.
Requirement #1 is wall cannot be disabled with the flip of a switch because succeeding administrations will merely TURN IT OFF in seconds.
Useless features then include watch towers, detection sensors, patrols, spotters and drones. Those are complete junk. The only wall that has no turn off switch is in China. It is big and wide with no on/off switch.
Therefore, the only mandatory Trump wall requirement is build it tall and indestructable.
TRUMP WALL REQUIREMENTS
Mandatory
1) Tall
2) Indestructable
Trivial Low Priority Avoidances aka Weak Links
A) People & Electronics
eg Watch towers, detection sensors, patrols, spotters and drones.
Secretary, please send a copy of these wall requirements to Donald J Trump.
Thank You
Where do I pick up my $5000 ?
