The newly built Mas d'Enric penitentiary sparks a series of
reflections on architecture's role in the problematic subject of
prison design. The prison is an uncomfortable institution and its
architecture is often subjugated to technocratic criteria. This
servility forces the prison out of the socio-cultural realm where
it belongs, thus erasing it from public discourse. "Mas d'Enric" is
a new penitentiary that overturns preconceptions and posits
architecture as a medium to critically rethink contemporary prison
buildings.
The discussion is enriched by contributions from a number of
influential architects and architectural theorists, and is
complemented by original work in film, photography, literature,
sculpture and visual arts.
