dc.description.abstract |
The contemporary public university operating within the
neo-liberal economy, by nature, does not prioritise the creative arts. Instead, these institutions have become increasingly responsive to priorities prescribed by the market and the government. Thus, the most financially efficient academic pathways receive generous architectural investments, while less profitable, less quantifiable faculties have their physical presence within the campus eroded.
Protest Academia is a speculative body of work, focused on architectural pedagogy within this neo-liberal condition; exploring how occupational protest may be used to antagonise and exploit it. Contextualising the research within the University of Auckland’s city campus has facilitated a localised, esoteric argument, though one able to be projected elsewhere. This is after all not a localised condition.
The research does not seek a conclusion, nor a formal architectural proposition, instead it employs ambiguity, metaphor and exaggeratory satire in its appraisal. From this position, while remaining grounded in its context, Protest Academia is able to critique contemporary creative practice and speculate on how that practice might exist in forthcoming academic environments. The thesis proposes an occupation of one of these generous architectural investments, by the School of Architecture, as a mechanism for both pedagogical self-defence and invaluable cross-disciplinary collaboration. |
