Pritzker Prize winning architect, Alejandro Aravena has built a brick wall under his new firm ELEMENTWALL. The Chilean claims it is 1/60th of a house and that “if you build a wall, the residents will do the rest themselves.” As a result he has been labeled by critics as the “genius of the century.”

“I literally have no idea how I’m getting away with these half-arsed ideas” said a tipsy Aravena who had forgotten to shave at a press conference.



“I could endorse Donald Trump and you would still love me” Aravena continued with a smug grin barely visible through his poor-mans beard.



“In fact, I may design his proposed Mexican-border wall. A few bricks should suffice, then naturally, it will take care of itself,” he added.

Aravena’s latest endeavour under his new practice ELEMENTWALL aims to build slap-dash walls all over South America with the intention of breaking into the American market in the near future.

The firm has endured a turbulent start however, with many criticising ELEMENTWALL’s wall performance after one month of them being erected.

“We’re not sure how this is going to happen in a place that has regulations and where bribery isn’t rife…” said a spokesperson for the company.



“Back in Chile we could build half a house, but get paid what you would for a full house. It’s brilliant! It keeps the top at the top and lowly scum feeding on and now living in scraps,” they explained.



“I just hope I can somehow keep this tomfoolery up!” Aravena quipped at the end, stumbling with a glass of wine in one hand and an empty tub of hair gel in the other.
