The project imagines a speculative world in which people have willingly sold their right to natural sunlight in exchange for access to digital services, security, and comfort. In this future, society has retreated underground, creating a built environment entirely disconnected from the surface. Architecture becomes a tool for managing artificial rhythms of life, where light is no longer a given but a controlled and designed resource. The absence of sunlight is not presented as a loss, but as the price of submission to a system that prioritizes surveillance, efficiency, and digital satisfaction over natural connection.

This underground world is shaped by a new social contract—one where privacy, community, and physical freedom are redefined. It questions what happens when natural elements become tradable assets and how architecture responds when fundamental rights are relinquished. The project does not offer a utopia or a dystopia, but rather a reflection on our growing detachment from the natural world and the implications of choosing comfort over autonomy.
