Machine —— A Utopian Transfomation Tower

Description
-
Our society is transforming from a society of supervision which has persisted for a long time,
to a controlled society. A controlled society is a softer, more adjustable, but also more
irresistible social operation form. With the development of technology, we will have the
freedom to choose. But before we choose, the future possibilities are all determined. It is like
a machine, although its process will be different, the input and output things have already
been set.
“Our society is still presenting a shell of disciplinary society, but its core is changing to the
controlled society". My thesis is based on the understanding of such a social operation form,
abstracting this theory into an architectural proposal, and expressing my negative attitude
towards this operation form. This thesis project will be an political and irony project.
My thesis program is set to be a future educational center in 2035. With the decline of the
labor force in the future, the government has begun to focus on vocational education to
increase the labor force. Such educational centers are built as a kind of urban infrastructure
in urban centers. Unemployed people, students are put into this new education center and
through a softer education process, they are quickly reintroduced into society as labor forces
again.
