Background:

Architect Ronald Rael is best known for the seesaw he created between the U.S.-Mexican border in 2019 during intense debate about U.S. immigration policy – a moment that went viral and earned the best design of 2020 prize from London's Design Museum.

A professor at the University of California at Berkeley, he explores the border wall dividing the U.S. and Mexico in his book, Borderwall as Architecture, and this 2018 TEDTalk.
