LIFELONG LEARNING​​​

Lifelong learning is of significant importance in various aspects of an individual's life and in society as a whole. It is crucial in adapting to the evolving demands of the modernJ world. It enhances personal and professional growth, fosters adaptability, and allows individuals to stay informed in a rapidly changing society.

ARCHITECTURE​

In an ideal world architecture works closely together with communities when they are creating their plan, with bottom-up strategies in urbanism and by design approaches. Where prisons are often built outside of busy cities, on the quiet countryside, detention houses are meant to be part of the ecosystem of a city, a neighborhood.

AUTONOMY​

Execution of justice is often viewed as black and white, rather than fluid. You are in prison or outside. Can we transform the idea of reintegration into a gradual regain of autonomy? How can a detention house support the growth of an individual in their autonomy as a citizen? If so, how do we shape that?

METHODOLOGY​

Methodology refers to the systematic and theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study. The methodology employed in small-scale forms of detention can vary depending on the purpose of time in detention, the individual and staff.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY​

Social responsibility refers to actions taken by individuals, organisations, and communities to contribute to the overall well-being. It involves a commitment to consider the interests of other people and contribute to sustainable development.

COMMUNITY​

Community integration refers to the process of incorporating individuals into the social fabric of a community. The goal of community integration is to foster inclusivity, build social connections, and create a sense of belonging for everyone involved.

STAFF​

Working in small-scale forms of detention requires a specific set of skills, these skills require a balance between care and security. As Durnescu I. said; ’Finding a balance between care and control in every situation for every client is more art than science’’.

DIGITAL INCLUSION​​
