There is no reason why inmates should be cut-off from the glories of mother earth, that is why designer Van der Sluis created this dome for prisons. This dome is ideal for inmates who are playing sports or are just sick of the constricted upward view in standard prisons which are guarded by tall brick walls.
The holes along the side of the dome gradually get larger and larger, therefore allowing more natural sunlight in and the sides of the building allow prisoners to see the horizon. The structure, which consists of 15 triangles, is quite easy to construct as well as dismantle.
Prison just got a little more luxurious.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Prison Dome Design
- Incorporating nature and natural light into prison architecture can have positive effects on inmate well-being.
- Enhanced Prison Experience
- Improving the prison environment through innovative design can contribute to prisoner rehabilitation and reduce recidivism rates.
- Modular Prison Structures
- Using easily constructible and dismantlable modular structures can provide flexibility and cost-effectiveness in prison construction.
Where This Applies
- Architecture
- Architectural firms can explore the design potential of incorporating nature and sunlight into prison structures for improved inmate experience.
- Criminal Justice
- Prison reform organizations and government agencies can consider implementing innovative prison designs to support inmate rehabilitation.
- Construction
- Construction companies can explore modular construction techniques to create flexible and efficient prison structures.
