Introduction to Architectural Thinking

Panopticism one of the oldest theory which really influence to generate the idea of capturing crime in a city. This social theory really helped to frame the intelligence system of a country. Juxtaposing this idea as a lense my main intention was to understand how the oldest fort during their time used to act as a  panopticism element and how they really influence the city. Using Delhi Darwaza as a case I tried to juxtapose the idea and generate an argument in terms of its role and influence as an element of panopticism.
