Накратко на български

Затворническите ферми в Белгия, Италия и Финландия се анализират чрез връзката между архитектурата и ежедневието на затворниците. Това помага да се разбере как пространството влияе върху наказателните модели и как се развива устойчивото земеделие в селските райони.

Territories of incarceration. A comparative study of prison farms in rural Europe and a proposal for Flanders.

A Prison Farm (PF) is a correctional facility located in rural environments where people imprisoned are employed in open-air manual work. They originated in the settlement types of domestic labour colonies built in rural Europe since the 19th c., like the French Colonies Agricoles, the Dutch Koloniën van Weldadigheid, and the Italian Colonie Penali Agricole. A common reading of these carceral settlements embraces rhetorics of progress, care, and ultimately positive utopia, hence disregarding their role as agents of internal colonisation that violently reshaped the remotest rural land of modern nation-states. While their history is often magnified by local initiatives, their closure opposed by local staff, and their basic principles (open-air work, access to and views of natural elements) acclaimed in prison studies, PFs are being shut down because considered obsolete, expensive, and little attractive for imprisoned people as opposed to new suburban walled prison complexes. The project 'Territories of incarceration. A comparative study of prison farms in rural Europe and a proposal for the Flanders' aimed to (1) compile a comparative study of selected PFs in Belgium, Italy, and Finland, acquiring and systematising currently missing knowledge and revising their spatial history. Drawing from the fields of architecture and criminology it aimed to (2) observe the relation between space, institutional model, and everyday inhabitation practices in one specific Belgian PF - the Centre Penitentiarie Agricole de Ruiselede. Finally, trying to contrast the still enduring link between carcerality and the countryside that PFs embody, the project aimed to (3) propose a pilot project in the context of rural Flanders. This promoted sustainable agriculture and rural development envisioning a cooperative network of small-scale residential farms that adhere to principles of restorative and environmental restorative justice (RJ). The project is grounded on critical theoretical insights around the empowerment of architecture in directing human behaviour and the relationship between architecture-institutions-large scale territory. It explored the concepts of 'home-ification' of prison environments and 'carceral idyll'. It benefited from inputs from criminology, cultural studies, and photography, and from collaboration with members of NGOs De Huizen and Rescaled, the Flemish Dept. of Agriculture and Fisheries, and the European Forum for Restorative Justice.

Цел на проекта

A Prison Farm (PF) is a correctional facility located in rural environments where inmates are employed in open-air manual work.Within the current European carceral archipelagos, mostly constituted of mass urban walled prisons and recent suburban super prisons, PFs are limited in number and scope and often disregarded by national and EU policies, and by academic studies. Yet, PFs show potential in addressing the EU's wills to: improve the current state of incarceration while reducing its scope; promote sustainable agriculture and rural development. The IF's objective is to tackle these 2 societal challenges with a pilot project for a network of detention farmhouses that will be tested in the territorial condition of Flanders, a EU region suffering from an increase loss of farms. The project adopts a research-by-design methodology and will follow a groundwork comparative study of the space of selected existing PFs in Belgium, Italy, and Finland, aiming at the acquisition and systematization of a currently missing knowledge on European PFs. The project will be based -while extending its scope to the rural condition- on the cutting-edge institutional model elaborated by the NGO De Huizen, whose proposal for a network of urban small-scale contextually integrated detention houses is challenging the current penal system in Belgium. The supporting network of the host and partner institutions (KU Leuven-Dept.of Architecture, VUB-Dept.of Criminology, De Huizen), and of key members from Belgian public authorities in the sectors of prison and rural development, constitutes a unique interdisciplinary milieu of knowledge and expertise that will guarantee the success of the IF.This will impact the fellow's career, evolving her expertise in the field of prison architecture while expanding her critical insight on broader theoretical themes around the empowerment of architecture in directing human behaviour and the relationship between architecture-institutions-large scale territory.
