Morals reformed, health preserved, industry invigorated instruction diffused, public burthens lightened. Economy seated, as it were, upon a rock -the gordian knot of the Poor-Laws are not cut, but untied , all by a simple idea in Architecture!

-Jeremy Bentham

Jeremy Bentham

Founder of Utilitarianism “Greatest happiness for the greatest number”. Believed systems should be efficient, moral, and socially beneficial. Inventor of the Panopticon (late 1700s) Circular prison design: inmates can be watched at any time, but never know when. Proposed for prisons, schools, factories, hospitals. Goal: internalize discipline, people control themselves when they might be seen. Saw surveillance as a tool for moral reform and social order. Irony & Legacy Never built in his lifetime; rejected by government. Became a symbol of modern surveillance — picked up later by Michel Foucault.

03. Objective of the Panopticon

Visible

Unverifiable

To say all in one word, the panopticon will be found applicable, I think, without exception, to all establishments whatsoever. No matter how different, or even opposite the purpose: whether it be that of punishing the incorrigible, guarding the insane, reforming the vicious, confining the suspected, employing the idle, maintaining the helpless, curring the sick, instructing the willing in any branch of industry, or training the rising race in the path of education. In a word, whether it be applied to the purposes of perpetual prisons in the room of death, or prisons for confinement before trial, or penitentiary-houses, or houses of correction, or work-houses, or manufactories, or mad-houses, or hospitals, or schools.

-Jeremy Bentham

04. "All Establishments Everywhere"

Hospitals
Factories

Enforces medical authority by placing patients under continuous observation, turning them into passive subjects of treatment and record-keeping.

Organizing space and time (e.g., workstations, shifts, clocking in) so that workers self-discipline under the logic of efficiency and supervision.

Prisons
Schools

To reform inmates by making them internalize discipline, possibility of being watched replaces the need for physical force or constant guards.

Students internalize discipline through structured routines like bells, schedules, and teacher surveillance.
