EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elevation view of the Panopticon, a groundbreaking design by the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham. Dated back to 1812, this architectural masterpiece was first proposed for the management of up to 2,000 paupers in Bentham's publication, "Pauper Management Improved." Originally devised for use as a workhouse, the Panopticon was based on a ring-shaped building with a central control post. The innovative design aimed to promote self-discipline and reformation through constant observation, creating an atmosphere of surveillance and accountability. The Panopticon's unique architecture has since influenced various fields, from education and mental health institutions to modern-day open-plan offices. This intriguing print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the visionary thinking of one of history's most intriguing philosophers.
