Download or read book Disability Space Architecture A Reader written by Jos Boys and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disability, Space, Architecture: A Reader takes a groundbreaking approach to exploring the interconnections between disability, architecture and cities. The contributions come from architecture, geography, anthropology, health studies, English language and literature, rhetoric and composition, art history, disability studies and disability arts and cover personal, theoretical and innovative ideas and work. Richer approaches to disability – beyond regulation and design guidance – remain fragmented and difficult to find for architectural and built environment students, educators and professionals. By bringing together in one place some seminal texts and projects, as well as newly commissioned writings, readers can engage with disability in unexpected and exciting ways that can vibrantly inform their understandings of architecture and urban design. Most crucially, Disability, Space, Architecture: A Reader opens up not just disability but also ability – dis/ability – as a means of refusing the normalisation of only particular kinds of bodies in the design of built space. It reveals how our everyday social attitudes and practices about people, objects and spaces can be better understood through the lens of disability, and it suggests how thinking differently about dis/ability can enable innovative and new kinds of critical and creative architectural and urban design education and practice.

Download or read book Enchanting Tales from Indonesia written by Andari Deswandhy and published by Gramedia Pustaka Utama. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children who go to international schools o ften feel disconnected and unaware of their heritage. They speak, read, and write in languages other than their native tongue and sometimes lack appreciation of their home country. It happened to Andari Deswandhy, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been educated by foreign school systems since early childhood. As a result, she felt that she had to change this reality somehow. Andari began to learn about her Indonesian heritage by reading Indonesian folktales. Unfortunately, hardly any of the folktales she found were in English. So she started to do some research and rewrote the folktales in English, not for herself specifically, but for her fellow Indonesians who are educated by foreign school systems. She hopes the stories will allow them to minimize their sense of an internal cultural barrier. In addition, she writes this book for students at local schools in the hopes of helping them learn the English language with the ease of familiar stories. So, let’s enjoy Andari’s retelling of five enchanting tales from Indonesia, beautifully illustrated by Cecillia Hidayat: - The Hidden Treasure - Malin Kundang - Bawang Merah and Bawang Putih - Cindelaras - Timun Mas

Download or read book Folklore in Indonesia written by Hanatya Mandarani Desideria and published by Garudhawaca. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is rich with stories of folklore in Indonesia. Instead of describing a single form in the presentation, it comprises variations in histories, tales, rituals, figures, places, living myths, legends, and many more from diverse areas where the authors came from. To some extent, those demonstrate how the world would work in some places and may be a way of life to some individuals or groups in contemporary culture. Taking the choice of not following any of the norms or regulations found in the stories, can work as well for today’s generation. However, by recognizing, reading, or listening to stories, we get pulled into a point to realize that life can be rich and fulfilling. More importantly, this folklore book appears to represent Indonesia. Penerbit Garudhawaca
