Project Brief

The Utopian submerged city
Some submerged cities are envisioned as utopian societies, thriving under the sea with advanced technology and new ways of living, creating an ideal or harmonious civilization far removed from the troubles of the land-based world.
In contrast, others are depicted as dystopian settings, where the survivors of a collapsed society are trapped in a decaying underwater world, struggling to survive in a hostile environment, often with little hope of escape.

The most famous fictional submerged city is Atlantis. Atlantis is often portrayed as a technologically advanced and highly civilized society that sank into the ocean due to its people’s moral corruption or environmental catastrophe.

As in the physical world, inmates are being locked up, the virtual prison instead is providing prisoners with the freedom that they can’t have in the real world. As inmates are aware that they being trapped underwater. However, they are provided some freedom with open spaces under and above water as well as exploring the underwater secrets from treasure hunting to uncovering the secrets of long-lost underwater cities. Inmates get rewarded by contacting their beloved ones, meditate or even perform their prayers when they are on good behavior this is where they connect with retreat space through a portal (gathering area) that takes them back to the world above the water to courtyard pavilion
