Coloring outside the lines, our firm's response to DHS/CBP

    Hello AIA colleagues,

    I recently posted a short article on LinkedIn:

    Here is our small office's response to the CBP RFP, decidedly not a wall:

    I urge you to consider designing your own response to the Administration's ill-considered border wall, submitting it to CBP and spreading it on social media with the hashtags #DrawTheLine and #NotOurWall. While the "deadline" for a wall design has passed, it's not too late for you to send in a design proposal.

    Best regards,
