Borak//Borak
Past talks by Borak//Borak. Website : https://www.facebook.com/borakborak.org Feminist Disability Theory and its application in architecture, urban planning and geography explained how spaces are designed to be gendered and are providing authority for one gender to exert upon another. Hence, spaces are more usable for one gender or for able bodied people thus enabling them reap the benefits of having such authority through how the spaces are being designed. Therefore, the discussion concluded that spaces must be designed to be more inclusive and more considerate towards discriminated groups of people.
Merdeka and Modernism was a public lecture to provide the context and history for the Modernist buildings in Malaysia that are constructed during the Merdeka period. The session explained and discussed the importance of the buildings as a symbol of political will for the newly formed independent Malaya to its people and the image of the nation at the global stage.
