About Discussions Projects11 Journals5

Carceral environments encompass the design and planning of spaces related to incarceration, detention, and confinement. This includes both the physical infrastructure of prisons and broader examinations of how architecture shapes the experience of restricted spaces and institutional control.

The community explores innovative prison design strategies incorporating biophilic principles, sustainable systems, and modular construction methods. Members also investigate conceptual frameworks that reimagine incarceration through architectural intervention, alternative models, and metaphorical approaches to reformation and community within carceral contexts.

Screen

The prison is designed to restore the man's Golden Light (i.e. personal restraint). Man has been darkened by the power of the Screen, and must learn to restore his Golden Light, by passing through the Filter, Reform, and Reflect Stages; creating a slowed-down version of the Screen. The prison does not absorb light like the Screen, rather, it restores Light.

HOT SPOT

Prisons should not be isolated island, not be abandoned area, not be unfriendly cold. Prisons should be HOT SPOT, which is integrated with urban fabric and life .It can be used as the public space and part of urban member. Spot sometimes is not a nice place, but if we are to give enough care, and it will be a hot spot,which is the most fancy and sexy place.
