Queenstown Microsociety
From the Fourth Amendment to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, and from the Electronic Communications Privacy Act to films like Minority Report and The Lives of Others, our law and culture are full of warnings about state scrutiny of our lives. ,many people have tried to bring light into the field of mass surveillance. Surveillance is mainly carried out by governments or governmental organizations, but may also be carried out by corporations such as Google, either on behalf of governments or at their own initiative.This design proposal revisits that phenomenon with the mindset that no one shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her privacy and creates a new form of society in which occupants can feel secure.

In 21st society,a period in which people's data has become the new currency Queenstown aims  to re-evaluate covert responses by proposing an architecture where people can live,work  and hide together under a sustainable economic network Queenstown embodies a primary schoo, severall workshops and factories trying to be fully autonomous.The construction sequence of the proposal is separated into 3 phases and it's planned to be completed in approximately 100 years from it's start date.

Queenstown philosophizes over several and varied pedagogic systems and aims to illustrate ideas that combined could result on a Utopian system of education which could form the foundation of an idealistic society.This speculative proposal is a device,a thought experiment which give an alternative way of living to London citizens beyond the limitations and the insecurity of the modern society.
