Tema magistrskega dela je idejna zasnova za- voda za prestajanje kazni zapora v Bitoli, Severni Makedoniji. Predvidena lokacija je sedanja lokacija zapora pol odprtega tipa v Bitoli, po imenu Deveani v zahod- nem perifernem delu mesta. Parcela zavoda za prestajanje kazni leži na koncu poseljenega dela mesta, ki meji na reko Dragor in evropsko cesto E65, ki povezuje mesto Bitola z zahodnim delom države. Zavod je zasnovan tako, da upošteva načela “hu- mane” zasnove zavodov. Glavni fokus je na reha- bilitaciji obsojencev preko pozitivnega vpliva ar- hitekture, oblikovanja, promocije varnega okolja, dobrih navad in boljšega fizičnega in mentalenga počutja obsojencev, kar je pomembno in koristno tako za obsojence kot za zaposlene v zavodu in družbo. Glede arhitekturne zasnove to pomeni zagotavl- janje ustreznih prostorov za različne aktivnosti, kot so : šolanje, delo, rekreacija in nastanitev ter pos- lednično zagotavljanje varnih zunanjih prostorov in sprehajalnih poti, ustrezne kapacitete in načrto- vanje bivalnih prostorov ter izgradnja prostorov za izobraževalne in delovne namene.
