Following the crit in December, one of the references that was give to me was Super Studio's Continuous Monument. When looking at this piece of work, it made me question, not only the role of the panopticon within the city, but also the scale, shape and programme.
Does the panopticon act as a boundary for the entire city? Or does one exist within each borough?
If one exists within each borough, are they all physically connected? Does it have to be restricted to the circular shape or can it, for example, follow the river Thames, which would allow the 'cells' to move, and to observe both the north and south of the city?
How will the structures look when the cells are all moving across the city?
