Mas d’Enric Penitentiary by AiB arquitectes + Estudi PSP Arquitectura Roger Paez
The newly built Mas d’Enric penitentiary sparks a series of reflections on architecture’s role in the problematic subject of prison design The prison is an uncomfortable institution and its architecture is often subjugated to technocratic criteria. “Mas d’Enric” is a new penitentiary that overturns preconceptions and posits architecture as a medium to critically rethink contemporary prison buildings.
