The One Tree Project took the territory of the tree as its classroom, with the oaks serving as site, subject, and platform for public research.

Within this context, which occurred just before his emigration to the United Kingdom, Veselý developed a particular metaphysical language—that of heights and depths, truth and falsity, interiority and exteriority, impossible tensions and necessary choices—and he carried this language with him throughout his career as an architectural educator as a discourse of crisis. This paper interprets Veselý’s later discourse of crisis, therefore, as having its roots partly in the philosophical anthropology and phenomenology that he was studying in the 1960s, yet it goes on to argue that its political import came from the way in which ideological constraints operated in the 1960s, creating a sense of political and socio-economic brokenness, both in the socialist East and capitalist West. In contrast to the increasingly commonly accepted view indebted to the legacy of poststructuralism that such a metaphysical language is inherently foundationalist, this paper argues that it is possible to view such a discourse as a performance; which is to say, as something that seeks to imagine a degree of certainty for the purposes of fostering sentiments and committments, precisely when no such certainty exists. In spite of Veselý’s leaning towards the themes of tradition, myth and European culture, it is nonetheless possible to view his performance of crisis as a discursive tool useful today in helping individuals mark a moment of truth, and take a stand against a world which they perceive to be false and clouded in ideological constraints.","PeriodicalId":15044,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Education","volume":"76 1","pages":"70 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49173514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As concerns about endowments and profit increasingly take priority over the guiding functions of many western universities and professions, cultural production is replaced by hollow and self-referential terms. “Content” has come to mean everything and anything that can be consumed—even claims of “critical pedagogy” itself. Terms derived from the history of business, such as “innovation,” “leadership,” “growth,” “excellence,” and “performance” have become the defining metrics within architecture education; it is evident that the business of architecture and the education of architects are now indistinguishable. Inward-facing accreditation criteria and curricula prioritize course topics over pedagogy and well-being, licensure exams prioritize business over the environment and community, and a persistent culture of exploitation is maintained and reproduced across states and national borders, generations, and work sectors. The ABC School aimed to consider how the terms of capitalism have historically prevented structural change by demanding perpetually new content, as well as how new pedagogies based upon the techniques and principles of organizing might encourage change across architecture’s siloed sites: students learning with practitioners; faculty learning with students; members of the public learning with all of the above. The school was inspired by the intersectional work of thinkers such as bell hooks and Paulo Freire who challenge the “banking system” of education by connecting critical pedagogy to labor organizing. Organizing was imagined to be central to reconstructing the discipline of architecture and society at large.1 Beyond Capitalism?
