To generate a parametric relationship between the variables affecting a migrational journey. These variables will inform a developed ever changing route system, where a hierarchy of interventions for humanitarian aid providing shelter, nutrition, and medical attention will be placed. The site I chose is located on the United States- Mexico border. Migrants constantly cross the border, experiencing the effects of the harsh terrain and the many variables present with regards to the landscape. The Sonoran desert in particular, located mainly in the southern part of Arizona exhibits an interesting range of situations to tackle. These variables are mainly from stress induced from the environment itself as well as stress of the body during travel situations of this nature.
