Critical/Thesis Statement

San Diego and Tijuana are two different sides of the same piece, a twin city separated by a political and social border. The construction of civic buildings, or other buildings that are used by the public would therefore be beneficial for both sides of a border. Beneficial in not only a monetary perspective, but from a social advancement and communication perspective. Such a project would increase the quality of communication between the two sides, and help to further progress the elements necessary in or to continue a healthy inter-border relationship.

The climate of the San Diego/Tijuana cosmopolitan area gives a unique opportunity in the use of outdoor or semi-covered space for a pedestrian concourse/waiting/commerce area, which is not available in other areas of the country which have more extreme weather conditions. A semi-outdoor pedestrian concourse and commerce area, when incorporated into an airport with favorable weather conditions, would vastly improve the experiences people perceive about airports.
