Prisoned 2009 Design Competition

Socio Design is a foundation that strives to encourage social change through design-based dialog, a dialog fostered by an annual international student architecture competition.

Prisoned, this year’s competition, scrutinizes the role of prison architecture in today’s world. What effect do their designs have on their employees, their occupants, their adjacent societies?

Prisoned asks that all students design a philosophy on what imprisonment is or should be, and create an architectural design to express that philosophy. Students from all backgrounds are welcome to participate.
