The Four Hour Academy is an experimental institute of education which aims to act as a critique of current systems of education and a vehicle to propose radical new forms that these systems could take (however naive they may be). The Four Hour Academy also aims to act as a leech on its surroundings; it is comprised of a workshop only four hours in length, in which students are asked to explore ‘the institution’ they are situated in and to build their own within it. Fuelled by this impossibly short time frame, students are forced to think and act critically to consider the host–institutions motives, paramaters, and possibilities, and how these can each be subverted collectively by the group. This book acts as a site on which an assortment of sources, images and texts come together to detail this experimental educational institution.
