Experiencing Disability As Starting Point Of Becoming Empathetic Architect

With the Act No. 8 the Year 2016, the equal rights of people with disabilities are acknowledged by the Indonesian Government following UNCRPD demand. Act No. 20 Year 2003, the education of People with Disabilities has been translated into the special schools for children with Disabilities and inclusive educational schools (JICA et al., 2015). However, the implementation is found not effective (Edwards, 2014). And many inclusive schools fail supporting the People with Disabilities (JICA et al., 2015).
