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 knowledge and
practice within the colony. Throughout this book, the argument is
made that what took place in architecture in the Dutch East Indies
involved a process of disseminating building knowledge as a form of
'epistemic imposition' upon the indigenous citizens of the colony -
in other words, as an effective instrument of Dutch colonial power.
This book will be of interest to architecture academics and
students interested in developing a broader global understanding of
architecture, especially those interested in decolonising the
teaching of architectural history and theory.
