California Conservation Camps
Design research proposal
A design research proposal on California’s Conservation Camps programme, resolved as a laser-cut wooden artefact: an imprisoned element within a container, with a map of California engraved on the lid.
Context
Within the prison environment, the exercise of power has among its central aims the monitoring and discipline of the inmates to prevent them from reoffending. The designed artefact has been conceived as an imprisoned element within a container, which symbolises the Conservation Camps Program as a whole. A map of California is engraved on top of the container, made of laser-cut wooden sheets, as well as the thesis title.
