Goals

Artistic solution was the most important part of the project as it is a simplified but very strong message to the people that will recongnize the walls that needed to be distrupted in order to get the freedom of the homeland that they need. Otherwise, the project would be a single lined wall with no interaction with sorounding and architectural integration.
