Authors Karen A. Franck, Te-Sheng Huang, Jeanne van Heeswijk, and Gan Golan, all share a similar opinion about occupied space being negotiated space. By negotiated space they mean an area that can be occupied when certain agreements are followed by the people occupying it. In their book chapter, “Occupying Public Space, 2011,” authors Franck and Huang discuss how the occupancy at Zuccotti Park in the Fall of 2011 was a negotiated public space because the people who participated continuously had to adapt to changes such as “the rule against loudspeakers or bull horns, the request from the community board to limit the drumming, and Brookfield’s concern about sanitary conditions” (16). The people have power over how a space is used up until someone who doesn’t approve of what’s happening in the space decides to take initiative. In this case, then the ones in charge of the court cases regarding the space(s) are the ones with the power/authority. According to Heeswijk, in “The Artist Will Have to Decide Whom to Serve,” cultural interventions transform/create a space in which individuals can stand up against the government who say are trying to fix problems themselves, but are actually doing nothing, in the comfort of their private offices. Golan says that the government has their private offices, so occupied spaces are the offices for the people. In Golan’s “The Office to the People,” the negotiation part of the space or arrangement is that once you step into it, you have the option of changing it, making it yours, allowing yourself to become someone else, and to create (73). That when you leave these “Occupies,” you leave a modified person, with a different perspective on systems of power, and that you have grown as an individual. Therefore, a negotiated space does change the space itself, but it also changes the person taking action in it.
