The topic I have chosen for my digital exhibit in based on the central idea called “ A Digital Divide”. This is an issue that focusses on the lack of technological access for poor and underprivileged members of society. Since I’m from a developing country like India, I have first handedly witnessed this issue and […]

I am considering centering Project 3 around the topic of cultural history of the Philippines and how it has been greatly influenced by other countries such as Spain and China. I am interested in this because I have a Filipino background and lived in the Philippines for a large part of my childhood, so I […]

For my Digital Exhibition I would like to present the British colonization of Ireland, as well as the background of Ireland, in a different way than most Americans know it.  In Anglophone education systems the world over, the treatment of the Irish by the British is glossed over.  But it is fact that over three […]

In the news, on television, and in movies like Rain Man or Forrest Gump, people with neurological conditions such as Autism are portrayed in a particular ways with unifying characteristics. Mental illnesses like schizophrenia, PTSD, and Bi-polar depression receive similar treatment. In general, people whose minds don’t function like that of a typical human fit some stereotype. Many […]

The topic I chose for the digital exhibit is the Vietnam War. More specifically, I will be discussing the Vietnamese’s perspective on the war because much of what we know about the war is told from an American’s perspective. Thus, observing the war from an alternative perspective would help tell the history of the war […]

Access is used in the articles Ableist Architecture and The Technology Gap to talk about how available technology and buildings should be.  Both articles tackle current issues of access. To answer the question of whether we should make an effort in providing equal access of  to all, I say yes and the authors of the […]

The idea of access in these examples means that everyone should be given the same opportunity to be comfortable physically and be comfortable with themselves. The article “Navigating Through Ableist Architecture” focuses on how disabled people struggle to be correctly accommodated for their situation. Anderson brings up the point that the Americans Disabilities Act (ADA) […]

In the first article, Albeist Architecture, the idea of access points at the idea that everyone, no matter their physical condition is able to get to the same places as everyone else. This doesn’t necessarily mean anywhere they want to go since obviously some places are restricted in general, but any handicap someone has shouldn’t be […]

Having an accessibility to something is being able to conveniently use it, and even in this “completely modern” century, it isn’t possible for everyone. Although it should be, tons of minorities, or people that are different from what society deems to be normal, indirectly face discrimination with the lack of provision of the same opportunities […]

In these examples, access is defined as the ability for all humans, despite disabilities, to have the right or opportunity to use or benefit from something. Each person should be treated the same regardless of their physical differences. However, this is not the case, especially in architectural design. The albiest architecture example informs about the […]
