Godin's familistery and its interior courtyard

Jean B.A. Godin was a French industrialist and writer that adapted Fourier’s phalanstery as a socialist palace into a familistery, another socialist utopian vision of a self-sustained city and social housing. Godin’s familistery had an interior courtyard that resembled a panopticon, a place that is always supervised and from where people can supervise each other at all times. It also had more ammenities for its people, such as leisure gardens, school, theatre etc. Godin was another personality that supported the progressist ideological model.
