By Our Own Hands

“By Our Own Hands” takes place in 2086, where automation has taken over, jobs are obsolete, and people have to rely on a government income scheme. People have become numb due to over-reliance on their devices, and those who resist risk losing the government income scheme. Due to this, my building poses as a solution: Escape the monotonous outside world to learn how to be self sufficient and improve cognitive ability, by growing food hydroponically, dyeing fabric with plants, and making clothes, as a symbol of rebellion against conformity. The purpose of this is to rebel against the system that limits peoples' capacity to think for themselves, therefore creating the need for the rebel group: The Rebuilders: Rebuilding society through self sufficiency, by removing technology dependence.
