Based in Sydney since 2015, the architectural collective Grandeza/Bajeza operates at the confluence of teaching, academic research, and critical spatial practice, within and beyond the framework of the School of Architecture at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia. Their work studies late-capitalist spaces and narratives to identify – through critical analysis – and neutralize – through political imagination – the mechanisms that veil and normalize neoliberal violence. Their work interrogates the capacity of architecture and cognitive institutions to respond to contemporary environmental, social, and political challenges, beyond the reductive proclivities of “techno determinism”, “resilience” and depoliticised “ecologism”. This paper aims to dissect the work of Grandeza/Bajeza as an ‘epistemological estuary’ that feeds from (and struggles to survive within) the same institutional and cultural frameworks that their work aims to overturn.
