the project addresses the issue of US settlement systems whereby many relationships are broken due the lack of social places where new immigrants can meet and share thoughts.

studies on prison sentence reveals that post-release offenses were higher after imprisonment. taking criminals out of community and incarcerating them is just a temporary solution. during their time in prison, inmates resocialize into a prison community or rather a crime community instead of rehabilitation; eventually return to the path of crime. the majority of offenses committed are lesser crimes, and these offenders are those with higher chances of rehabilitation.
community too plays a role in helping ex-convicts in their rehabilitation process. yet there is a social stigma towards ex-convicts. in the end, rejections and scorns forced them to go back into the way of crime.
rehabilitation essentially involves both the offenders and community. to achieve this, we propose a prison where the criminals are taken off the street to a place within that community and while serving their sentences, they continuously contribute to that particular community yet remain separated; a vertical prison.
design to separate – a prison without wall the purpose of a prison is to isolate the inmates from society and a prison needs a barrier to do so. a vertical prison does so without a wall, instead it isolates the inmates through height, where jumping off the prison is the only option.
Today more than 50 percent of the world’s population live in urban centers, by the year 2050, it will be nearly 80 percent. During the interim it is expected that the population will increase by an extra 3 billion people. With today intensive farming practices, characterized by high inputs of capital, water, fertilizers, and waste; an estimated 10,000,000 hectares of new land will be needed to grow enough food to feed them. At the moment we have nearly reach the maximum of land that is sustainable for crops. Each year we are losing about 100,000 square kilometers of topsoil around the world, the majority with poor management and poor urban planning.
