15 YEARS LATER...

The use of the panopticon to 'observe' the banks has, over 15 years, succeeded.  Combined with advances in technology, where the walker and googler are able to access information easily, the panopticon, is no longer needed. Because of this, over a number of years, with nobody to maintain or control the movement of the cells, they begin to loose momentum and direction and start to become embedded within the built environment.  It is here, stuck between the city, that the cells begin to take on a new life, and also the structure that used to house the cells, also begins to take on a new meaning and programme.

The diagram below shows, how over a number of years, less and less cells return to the structure as they become 'stuck' within the city.
