INTRODUCTION

“It is obvious that the prolonged periods of detention, characterised by frustration and insecurity, are doing further damage to individuals who have fled grave human rights abuses. The detention policy has failed as a deterrent and succeeded only as punishment.

How much longer will children and their families be punished for seeking safety from persecution?”

- In March 2002, Irene Khan, the Secretary General of Amnesty International, said.

Australia asylum: Why is it controversial?

A number of official inquiries and investigations into immigration detention conditions were conducted between 2000 and 2007. The findings of these investigations have spurred severe criticism of detention conditions in Australia, and in some cases have brought changes in policies and practices.

Australia’s policy on asylum seekers who arrive by boat has come under intense scrutiny in recent months.

The government says the journey the asylum seekers make is dangerous and controlled by criminal gangs and they have a duty to stop it. Critics say opposition to asylum is often racially motivated and is damaging Australia’s reputation.

MIDTERM REVIEW OSMOSIMS By studying the controversies that happen inside a detention center for immigrants in Australia. We create a strategy to create a detention center so our main objective is to create Osmosis between the detainee and the visitor right through the government.

We can define as Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane into a region of higher solute

concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

In this case we can define as the two sides, one of them detainees and the other part are the visitors, the government is that membrane that unites or divides them.

By creating osmosis generate a game in which the chosen site was Cockatoo Island, based on play levels for Australian Visa from a student visa to the residence and to be an Australian. Each level contains a physical barrier

that prevents you spend but there goals you must meet to move to the next level and win a new visa filled with more priorities to reside in the country, so we made the analogy with the game SIMS which It is like that in this game they will play with life stages and each stage is a level, the player must meet all the goals of this stage to move to the next stage of life to earn a living, so is how our island called: OSMOSIMS, with the aim of creating OSMOSIS but creating more Australians and fewer

prisoners.

Interaction Detention Centre After creating our strategy OSMOSIMS and study disputes that are created in a detention center, we created this new detention center which is based on the osmosis that is generated between the visitor and the prisoner, creating the island and its elements a machines to create and transform detainees from their origins to 100% Australians. The island occupies part of the existing buildings and architecture and the existing elements transforming these time machines is created yet keeping the original identity of the detainee by a secret agenda.
