An essay entitled, "Urban Prisonscapes" by M.S. in Architecture student, Ammar Kalo, has been accepted in the architectural journal CLOG.

In the essay, Kalo discusses prisons as a typology and references the Manhattan Island Prison, famously depicted in the movie, "Escape from New York," considering how dystopian visions of future cities in pop-culture movies could be utilized as extra-disciplinary solutions for re-examining existing architectural typologies.

CLOG explores, from multiple viewpoints and through a variety of means, a single subject particularly relevant to architecture now.
