Hello, citizens of Acity!
Today’s work, [Transparent Empire], was written based on the core theories of the philosopher Michel Foucault, who provided sharp insights into the power relations and politics of the gaze in modern society: the "Panopticon" and the "Power of Surveillance." Foucault argued that modern society domesticates and controls humans through invisible gazes and structures. This project visualizes the paradox of a space where the one looking out from within—rather than the one being monitored—holds absolute power, set against the backdrop of floor-to-ceiling windows in a high-rise building.
The line "Unblinking observation from the quiet height" in the lyrics sings of the gaze of a sovereign who is not the one being monitored, but the one who monitors and legislates the world. Furthermore, the declaration "I rule the sky tonight" reflects the commanding dignity of a designer who surveys and defines the entire system.
A transparent fortress that reveals you to the world while protecting your nobility from the noise outside. Following the gaze of the designer who becomes the code of the system and surveys the world, I hope you enjoy a time of pleasant contemplation as you exercise your own sovereignty beyond the disciplines of daily life.

00:56Harmonizing posture with the architecture-wise
01:01Spreading quiet order from the inner sides
