Build name: Panopticon Escape

Very-much a work-in-progress.

The architectural concept of a panopticon is essentially a prison where all the prisoners can be seen in their cells from a central guard pillar. Although the idea is old, it's a common feature of many films—the one that comes to mind is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol III. One has never been fully built in the real world, though. The architectural concept has some fundamental flaws!

This build is a prison escape: find the flaws in the prison, disable defenses, unlock the doors, make it out alive.

images taken at angles to avoid showing too much. The base is built as a "level" so most of the decoration will be inside!
