Civilizations are in a constant state of change in which different identifiers of what is considered to be normal or acceptable are recognized. That questions the understanding of human perception of the “norm”. This triggers the question of obedience; people obey based on the norms provided for them to abide by. How could one remain aware of their obedience while identifying limits that secure them from nescient submission? As civilizations shape the norms of a society, designers that contribute to building it, obey the laws they have been passed on that require the creation of “control maintaining spaces”, providing reinforced obedience. This research recognizes the element of reinforced obedience through the criteria of imprisonment phenomenology, and suggests ways to avoid subconscious incentivization of nescient submission. It aims to provide awareness to a pre-existing phenomenon of obedience reinforcement through the imprisonment phenomenon occurring expansively within the built environment.
