AGENCY defines power through its relation to how the built environment allows occupants to have agency. The project proposes a redesign of the Ohio Statehouse based on this research. First, four categories of agency are defined: Enclosure (orientating v. disorientating), possession (permissive v. controlling), accessibility (accessible v. segregated), and legitimization (fake v. authentic). These categories are used to create a catalog wherein the closer a space is to the center, the less agency that space’s occupants have and vice versa for the perimeter. For the redesign, known spaces within the statehouse are first added to the catalog, revealing the statehouse to serve two main functions: an office building for politicians, and failed public space. In this redesign, existing public space is repurposed to be a pavilion. This is based on previous research wherein pavilions were found to be spaces which allow for prominence, gathering, and protest while remaining orientating, permissive, accessible, and authentic. Offices are preserved, forming the basement of this redesign with the general public allowed to walk on top of these offices on a grid of one-way glass and solid floor. The general public is now the agent which checks the politicians, holding literal and figurative power over the government. Upon further analysis of this proposal, adding people shows how the system in place would implement the same tools which remove power from occupants such as security cameras, gates/fences, or police/security guards. Through this process of experimentation, It is found that the influence of architectural designers is much smaller than the power of systems of government, capitalism, and society, minimizing the amount of agency occupants of the built environment have.
