Progressive Prisons v2.1

Does prison really need to be confining?


Inspired by a Chinese Cultural Revolution film on a girl's escape from prison, this project looks at why prisons are centers of crime and hate. Opening the plan and giving structure to the already hierarchical prison inmates may be a solution.


The form flows, geometric signifying order and discipline, and open, signifying progress and reform.
