Switching Prisons Design Competition
Architects: NBRS ARCHITECTURE
Location: The Hague, Holland
The Switching Prisons Brief called for a new age architecture to address crimes of tomorrow. As a practice we are focused on improving the built environment to affect social connectivity. NBRS ARCHITECTURE challenge for this competition was to create a platform whereby those caught in criminal activity within the cyber world could discover the humane benefit of community centred living and skill building.
Our scheme is titled Communiversity; embodying the creation of a village campus and supporting programs which assist well being for a shared good.
Communiversity is a place to learn and give back to the greater urban community through a woven interdependency and a controlled permeable soft edge leading to adjusted individual well being.
It is a rehabilitative model where participants (inmates) discover how to positively contribute to the well being of society through project-based team study. There will be codependency and cohabitation fostering a platform of community.
The participants positively benefit within a safe and rigorous structure through a common goal of positive influence across different scales of personal relationships and society.
The campus is a village typology supporting the idea of shared living, team-based learning, and codependency.
Our goal is to create a model environment where through shared experiences and shared project learning, those caught in the cyber-criminal world will graduate with wellbeing and drive to participate proactively in the wider community.
