Additionally, the skill sets required to implement methods such as Discrete Event Simulation are becoming more commonplace as the industry steadily adopts more facets of digital design..
Professor Yvonne Jewkes brings a multifaceted approach to prison design, combining her expertise in criminology with architectural principles.Her career has evolved from focusing on media's societal impacts to influencing prison architecture worldwide.
This interdisciplinary approach highlights the necessity of integrating behavioural science with architectural knowledge to design correctional facilities that are both secure and conducive to rehabilitation.. 2.Impact of architectural choices on prison dynamics.The podcast episode discusses how specific architectural decisions in prisons, such as the introduction of in-cell televisions, have helped reduce communal tensions and violence.
This reflects a broader theme that the physical design of prisons can greatly influence the behaviour of inmates and the overall management of these facilities.By understanding the interplay between space and behaviour, architects can create environments that enhance safety and promote order.. 3.
Principles of rehabilitation in prison facilities.
Emphasising rehabilitation over punishment, Yvonne advocates for prison designs that mimic normal living conditions to the greatest extent possible.This was a significant step because the problems facing construction are long-standing and well known.
During the last few decades, while other large industries have gone through transformational levels of change, the construction industry has remained relatively static.Following on from the Latham and Egan reports in the 1990s, in 2016 the Farmer Report concluded that the industry must “modernise or die.”.
Sully says that the key element we’ve been missing in construction is the ethos of collaboration and innovation found in other industries.It’s a somewhat odd situation considering that the construction industry is inherently a collaborative one.
