Behind the Postcolonial
In Behind the Postcolonial Abidin Kusno shows how colonial representations have been revived and rearticulated in postcolonial Indonesia. The book shows how architecture and urban space can be seen, both historically and theoretically, as representations of political and cultural tendencies that characterize an emerging as well as a declining social order. It addresses the complex interactions between public memories of the present and past, between images of global urban cultures and the concrete historical meanings of the local. It shows how one might write a political history of postcolonial architecture and urban space that recognizes the political cultures of the present without neglecting the importance of the colonial past. In the process, it poses serious questions for the analysis and understanding of postcolonial states.
Building Practice in the Dutch East Indies
This book reveals the ‘epistemic imposition’ of architectural ideas and practices by colonists from the Netherlands in the Dutch East Indies from the late-19th century onwards, exploring the ways in which this came to shape the profession up to the present day in what is now known as Indonesia. The author investigates the scope of these interventions by Dutch colonial agents in relation to existing Javanese building practices, pursuing two main lines of enquiry. The first is to examine the methods of dissemination of Dutch-taught technical knowledge and skills across the Dutch East Indies. The second is to scrutinise the effects of this dissemination upon the formation of architectural k...
Perception, Design and Ecology of the Built Environment
This edited volume is a compilation of the ‘built environment’ in response to many investigations, analyses and sometimes mere observations of the various dialogues and interactions of the built, in context to its ecology, perception and design.

The book builds fabric knitting into the generic understanding of environment, perception and design encompassing ‘different’ attitudes and inspirations. This book is an important reference to topics concerning urbanism, urban developments and...
The Appearances of Memory
In The Appearances of Memory, the Indonesian architectural and urban historian Abidin Kusno explores the connections between the built environment and political consciousness in Indonesia during the colonial and postcolonial eras. Focusing primarily on Jakarta, he describes how perceptions of the past, anxieties about the rapid pace of change in the present, and hopes for the future have been embodied in architecture and urban space at different historical moments. He argues that the built environment serves as a reminder of the practices of the past and an instantiation of the desire to remake oneself within, as well as beyond, one’s particular time and place. Addressing developments in I...

Cheng Ho and Islam in Southeast Asia
Tan Ta Sen has modestly suggested that, as a book to illustrate the peaceful impact of culture contact, he is concerned to show how such cultural influences not only led to transmissions, conversions and transferences involving Inner Asian Muslims from China and Yunnan Muslims, Chams, Javanese, Malays, Arabs and Indians, but also enabled many Chinese in the Malay world to retain their non-Muslim cultural traits. In placing Cheng Ho's voyages in this context, the author offers a fresh perspective on a momentous set of events in Chinese maritime history. Professor Wang Gungwu, National University of Singapore.Tan Ta Sen's book on Cheng Ho and Islam in Southeast Asia is not the first one on the...

Konservasi Eks-situ pada Bangunan Nusantara
Tak dapat dipungkiri, arsitektur vernakular memiliki peran besar sebagai dasar pengembangan arsitektur modern. Berbagai upaya dilakukan untuk mempertahankan arsitektur vernakular, misalnya dengan konservasi. Hingga saat ini, isu-isu dalam melestarikan rumah vernakular acap kali dilakukan dan masih berkutat di tempat aslinya, atau yang lebih kita kenal sebagai konservasi in-situ. Namun, kita tidak menyadari bahwa jenis konservasi ini sendiri memiliki kelemahan dalam hal mempertahankan kondisi obyek yang soliter. Utamanya lagi jika rumah itu sendiri terpencil, jauh dari akses transportasi dan dikelilingi oleh tekanan gaya hidup modern. Di sini, pertanyaan-pertanyaan tentang konsep vernakularis...
