OCCUPIED! provides intervention in order to destabilize the culture in which architecture school operates, turning away from the professionalization of education and shifting towards collective occupation of an educational building. The project responds to a lack of studio culture due to section placement within the John Elliot Center for Architecture and Environmental Design, providing new methods of communication between floors through a mail system. This installation draws upon precedents of collective occupation, utilizing common, existing, or found construction material to promote usage or additions from the collective utilizing the same material palate. The site is a stairwell between the first and second floor of the building, where features like a bell ringing every time a wheel on the pulley system spins or cubbies to store mail and clothespins encourage collective use and communication between the students of the Kent State College of Environmental Design. Bringing activism as a means of drawing upon collective change, a narrative comic was developed, serving as a banner both symbolizing the mail system as a means of bringing about change while communicating the story of the mail system’s existence, usage, and intent. The mail system and comic work cohesively to provide an installation that seeks to disrupt the professional norm within academia while providing usage for the collective.
