Perspektif Feminisme dalam Arsitektur Lingkungan Binaan

Abstract

Exploration of the intersection between feminism and architecture, focusing on feminine aspects in building elements. Feminism arose based on the upheaval of women who demanded equality between women and men. In the context of architecture, the concept of feminism has been present in the design arrangement of traditional houses in Indonesia to post-modern styled buildings. Feminism can be traced in some of the building elements. Through critical analysis of elements in architectural design, it is also possible to study the influence of perceived femininity on the built environment. By referring to the theory of feminism and architectural discourse, an in-depth analysis of the architectural elements of precedent objects can be carried out. Analysis of these elements includes use of lines and curved planes in buildings, characteristics in clear spatial arrangement, choice of feminine colors, use of decorative ornaments, and design of flexible structures that do not look rigid. The influence of feminism in architecture reveals diverse gender expressions in built environment design, transcends architectural stereotypes, and creates a built environment that empowers and promotes inclusivity for all individuals
