Reading about Teddy Cruz and his crusade to change the face of architecture for the better, makes him a sort of modern day Robin Hood; he takes what those in power have put in place to limit space and he aims to break down those institutions and make them more functional and available for those of lower classes.
With Latin American as the heart of his inspiration, it is inspiring and quite unsettling to see what is done with American garbage once it leaves the sidewalk. The innovation of Latin Americans to build where they need to and building additions to homes, exemplifies ingenuity in the face of hardships.
Yet, seeing how Americans just discard things that could be useful can make on rethink how we manage waste. While these structures may look structural cautious to us, but they serve a good purpose and as mentioned in the article, are quite structurally sound. With that said, the question of the border is brought up one again.
These inanimate materials cross borders, as do the people that live in border towns. How can people on both sides of the border work together to achieve what is best for each in regards to deposited waste? Also, do you think that Teddy Cruz's revolutionary, but simple idea about the future of architecture will gain wider acceptance? Are their any pitfalls to his ideology?
