Abstract
Since the change of paradigm at the end of 18th century, pointed out by Michel Foucault in his book “Discipline and Punishment”, new forms of incarceration does not include the old purposes of body politics anymore. They set the state of mind based on inevitable surveillance. While prisoner as a body and society as a crowd have changed their ontological dispositions the wall of the prison stayed the same. The new design proposes to reject a negative interference of punitive architecture and to create a different intensities in the inside and the outside perimeter of the fence. By resisting diagrammatic process the assemblage is produced in non-generic way by expressing the importance of the target group, adopting surroundings and including public space.
