This book contains the following titles:

- A City Within One Building: The origins of this vision can be traced to the pressures of urbanization and the relentless march of technological innovation. As cities expanded horizontally, they encountered spatial limitations, environmental challenges, and infrastructural strain. The solution lay not outward, but upward. Vertical urbanism emerged as a response to these challenges, combining architectural ingenuity with a commitment to sustainability. The result is a new typology of buildings that integrate residential, commercial, recreational, and even cultural spaces into a cohesive, self-contained ecosystem.

- Culinary Jailbreak: In the depths of confinement, where the walls are more than just bricks and mortar but a constant reminder of lost opportunities, an unexpected force emerged: food. This story is not just about escape in the traditional sense, but about breaking free from the psychological and emotional prisons that can often be more suffocating than physical ones. It is a testament to the unyielding human spirit, its capacity for creativity and resilience even in the most stifling of conditions.

Incarceration is a test of endurance. Every day is marked by repetition, isolation, and the stripping away of autonomy. It’s easy to feel like hope is a distant dream, slipping further away with each passing hour. But in the midst of despair, something remarkable happened—a plan was forged in the most unlikely of places: the prison kitchen. It was here, in a space designed to merely nourish the body, that a group of individuals came to realize the power of food as a vehicle for something greater: freedom.
