Abstract

In November 2004, the University of Cambridge announced its intention to close the Architecture Department,1 following a drop from a 5 to a 4 in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), which aimed to measure the quality of research activity across the Higher Education sector in the UK.2 Other departments in the University of Cambridge achieved a 5 or a 5* rating in the same exercise. In 2004 the University’s General Board, which oversees academic standards within the University, came to the conclusion that the Department of Architecture was making ‘insufficient progress towards meeting Cambridge standards in terms of research quality’ and advised that it should be shut down.3 While this remained a recommendation, with no official action having yet been made, the threat of closure sparked an outrage both within and outside Cambridge. After a campaign in the national press, the architecture department was saved [1, 2].

大学建筑学院的建筑研究:剑桥和巴特利特,1960-9
2004年11月,剑桥大学宣布打算关闭建筑系,1在2001年的研究评估活动(RAE)中,建筑系从5降至4。RAE旨在衡量英国高等教育部门的研究活动质量。2剑桥大学的其他院系在同样的评估中获得了5或5*的评级。2004年,负责监督剑桥大学学术水平的大学总委员会得出结论,认为建筑系“在研究质量方面没有取得足够的进展,无法达到剑桥大学的标准”,并建议将其关闭虽然这只是一个建议,官方还没有采取任何行动,但关闭的威胁引发了剑桥内外的愤怒。经过全国媒体的宣传活动,建筑系得救了[1,2]。
