Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates architecture's potential role in improving the experience of the daily commute into and out of the city. It is proposed that an architectural intervention that takes into account the 'embodied' experience of the commuter as key informant could assist in such an improvement. Various structural and infrastructural upgrades are being planned for the east-west Metrorail link between Pretoria Station and Mamelodi by the Tshwane Municipal Government and the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA). This link is selected to act as setting for the enquiry, with Mamelodi Gardens Metrorail Station as site for architectural intervention. A conflict is identified between requirements of the public transport system to function optimally and efficiently and the experiential and everyday needs of the commuter who encounters it. The dissertation aims to relieve this apparent opposition through a design process of mediation. Due partially to its functionally driven nature, public transport planning often leads to an environment of extremes which places the commuting experience under tension. Architecture's potential role in alleviating these extremes through impact or through the mediation of other environmental impacts is explored. Phenomenological philosophy, as a study based in the ontological enquiry of conscious experience, is the theoretical stimulus to the experiential component of the study. This theoretical base is partnered with investigative and interpretive study in order to ascertain the various ways in which architecture could potentially impact on the embodied experience of the commuter.<br>Dissertation MArch(Prof)--University of Pretoria, 2012.<br>Architecture<br>MArch(Prof)<br>Unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
Fourteenth-century Cairo saw a movement towards abstract, geometric art. This movement reflected contemporary intellectual interests and represents the culmination of the ascendancy of Islamic philosophy over the humanist vocabulary of art. The thesis seeks explanations for the positive, i.e. for the forms which art actually took, rather than concentrating on prohibitive mechanisms. In architecture, the disappearance of stucco vegetal decoration may have been partly due to the effects of an outbreak of plague, but the main influences on contemporary art and architecture came from the esoteric habits of thought induced by sufism, alchemy and hermeticism, and from the dualist concerns of Islamic philosophy. The thesis discusses the continuity between sufism and Shī'ism, the history of sufism in Cairo as it affected art and architecture, concepts of the microcosm and the macrocosm, and theories of colour, substance and gilding. The thesis examines talismans and other esoteric material. It discusses architectural incorporata, presents a catalogue of Pharaonic material re-used in Islamic architecture, and argues that blocks bearing Pharaonic hieroglyphs represented Hermetic lore and, at entrances to buildings, paralleled the use of Pharaonic references at the beginning of esoteric manuscripts. The detailed discussion of architecture takes the form of an examination of a religious building, scrutinising the underlying principles of decoration and then moving on to specific elements such as the entrance and the mihrab. The thesis discusses, and dissents from, iconographic interpretations of architectural imagery. It attempts to evolve a terminology for discussion and concludes that 'mamluk' is inappropriate as a cultural term, since the influence of the individual patron on art and architecture was less innovative than the intellectual background of the period, and the dissociation of the patron from contemporary society has been over-estimated. It comes to the conclusion that 'an art of the bāṭin' would more effectively express the major influence on the art and architecture of fourteenthcentury Cairo.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse explore l'habitat domestique traditionnel à l'époque mamelouke (XIIIe-XVIe siècle) dans les villes de Damas et de Homs. Le sujet a été élargi à la ville de Hama à l'époque ottomane (XVIIIe siècle). Aucune de ces villes n'a fait l'objet d'études approfondies et si les grandes demeures du Caire et de Tunis ont été relevées et étudiées, peu de recherches ont encore été faites sur celles de la Syrie. L'étude de l'architecture de l'habitat soulève des questions, notamment pour ces trois villes, qu'on peut classer en deux catégories : la première tient à l'architecture même de l'habitat et la seconde résulte de l'interaction de l'architecture de la demeure avec l'homme, l'environnement et la nature. La première partie de la thèse a pour objet l'étude de 6 demeures de l'époque mamelouke dans les villes de Homs et de Damas. La deuxième partie traitera de l'époque de transition mamelouke-ottomane à Damas (XVIe siècle), puis de l'époque ottomane (XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles). L'étude de l'habitat de Hama (XVIe et XVIIe siècles) est traitée séparément. La troisième partie, à travers des descriptions morphologiques, est consacrée aux réflexions sur l'habitat traditionnel. Il est ainsi possible d'établir des traits constants dans l'architecture mamelouke domestique des trois villes étudiées en ce qui concerne la construction, l'organisation et la décoration de leurs demeures. Grâce à l'analyse et à la reconstitution graphique (plans, élévations, photos) cette thèse montre donc que l'époque mamelouke a été la plus innovante en architecture et en décoration, l'époque ottomane s'étant plutôt distinguée par le raffinement dans les motifs de la décoration<br>This thesis explores the traditional domestic habitat during the mamluk period (from the 13th to the 16th century) in the towns of Damas and Homs. Its field of study was extended to the town of Hama during the ottoman period (18th century). None of these towns had been extensively studied before; in fact, whereas the major houses of Cairo and Tunis have been surveyed and analyzed, very few studies had been devoted to the Syrian cities until this work. Studying the architecture of any habitat raises a certain number of questions, especially as far as the selected Syrian towns are concerned. Such questions can be divided into two sets: the first one related to the very architecture of their habitat, the second one to the interaction of the architecture of the buildings with man, his environment and nature. The first part of the thesis studies six dwellings at the mamluk period in the towns of Hama and Damas.The second part deals with the transitional mamluk/ottoman period and with the ottoman period (17th-18th centuries). The study of Hama's habitat is dealt with separately. The third part is devoted to more theoretical points about the traditional habitats, thanks to morphological descriptions.Thus it is possible to draw up constant features in the domestic mamluk architecture of the three towns, as far as the construction, organization and decoration of their houses is concerned.Thanks to the above analyses and the graphic reconstruction of the dwellings (plans, scales, photos), the thesis shows that the mamluk period was the most innovative one in architecture and decoration, whereas the ottoman period was most distinctive for the refinement in its decorative patterns and designs

Full textAbstract:
Entre le XIIe et XVIe siècle, sous les dynasties ayyoubide puis mamelouke, les routes du Bilād al-Šām étaient jalonnées de gîtes d’étapes pouvant fournir un abri aux voyageurs de toute sorte. Cette thèse se propose d’approfondir la connaissance de ces édifices en suivant deux axes de recherche principaux. Le premier objectif consiste dans l’étude de tous les aspects relatifs aux caravansérails en tant qu’édifices : leurs fonctions,leurs équipements et, surtout, leur architecture et les techniques constructives qui les caractérisent. Il s’agit ensuite de proposer une reconstitution du réseau routier syrien qui prenne en compte également la distribution de ces édifices le long des routes. En partant de l’établissement d’un nouvel inventaire des gîtes d’étapes et d’une tentative de redéfinition de la notion de caravansérail routier, la recherche se développe progressivement à travers un double angle d’approche historique et archéologique. Ce dernier aspect se traduit par la mise en place d’une chronotypologie des techniques constructives et par l’étude stratigraphique approfondie d’un des caravansérails routiers encore conservés, afin d’identifier ses différentes phases d’évolution. Le travail de recherche est enfin complété par un catalogue présentant en détail les différents sites identifiés<br>Between the XII and XVI century, under the Ayyubid and Mamluk dynasties, the roads of Bilād al-Šām weredotted by wayside caravanserais that provided shelter to all kind of travellers. The purpose of this thesis is toimprove these edifices’ knowledge focusing on two main axis of research. The first aim of the work is toinvestigate all the aspects dealing with the caravanserai as a building, from its function and facilities to itsarchitecture and building techniques. Secondly, the objective is to propose a reconstruction of the Syrian roadnetwork which could also be supported by the spatial distribution of road caravanserais. Starting from thecreation of a new list of sites, also based on the development of a new definition of wayside caravanserai, theresearch work develops following a double point of view, both historical and archaeological. This latter aspectmaterialises through the establishment of a chronotypology of the building techniques, and through the detailedstratigraphic analysis of one of the preserved sites, in order to identify its different evolution phases. The studyis finally completed by a catalogue which presents in detail all the different road caravanserais we couldidentify

Cette thèse s'intéresse à l'histoire de la ville de Djebelé/Ğabala située sur la côte syrienne de la Méditerranée, de l'époque fatimide à l'époque mamelouke, l'étude s'organise autour de deux axes : historique et architectural. La première partie aborde l'histoire de Ğabala du moment de sa prise par les Fatimides, et sa reconquête par les Byzantins, puis son retour aux mains des musulmans sous le contrôle de l'émirat chiite des Banū ʿAmmār de Tripoli. Par la suite, la ville passa sous la domination de Saladin et de ses héritiers ; et le fut par la suite gouvernée par les Mameloukes jusqu'à l'année 1516 au moment de sa prise par les Ottomans. La deuxième partie s'intéresse à l'architecture et à l'urbanisme de Ğabala. Les vestiges religieux chrétiens, et les édifices islamiques seront étudiées (la mosquée d'al-Sulṭān Ibrāhīm, al-Manṣūrī, al-Ḥamawī, ḥ̣ammām al-Tasṣāwīr, ḥammām al-Sulṭān, Qubbat al-ʿUmarī). Ainsi, un plan de la ville à la fin de l'époque mamelouke est proposé en fonction de ces édifices, et sur les données archéologiques en place dans la vieille ville<br>This thesis focuses on the story of a town Jableh, located on the Syrian side of the Mediterranean, from the Fatimid era to the Mamluk era. The study is organized around two themes: historical and architectural. The first part deals with the history of Jableh since its occupation by the Fatimid, and its re-occupation by the Byzantines, then its return to the hands of Muslims under the control of the Shia state of Bano Ammar of Tripoli. After that, the city was under the rule of Salah al-Din and his heirs, then the Mamluks had control over it until the year 1516; the time of its capture by the Ottomans. The second part focuses on the architecture of the city by addressing a serious investigation of its Christian religious ruins, and its Islamic historical buildings (the Mosque of al-Sultan Ibrahim, al-Mansuri and Hammam al-Tasṣawir). Thus, a map of the city at the end of the Mamluk era will be designed according to its buildings. Together this information will help in putting a special study for the architectural view of the Islamic city, Jableh

Full textAbstract:
The spatial legacy in South Africa has resulted in fragmented urban environments and development in peri-urban areas, such as Mamelodi, is often implemented with a top-down approach. The focus of development tends to be on connecting these hinterlands to the cities with affordable transportation and trying to satisfy needs for basic services and amenities as quickly as possible. This has resulted in the implementation of solutions that are not place specific but instead tend to be generic models implemented on a large scale. The danger therein lies that projects implemented might not be appropriate to communities and could become dysfunctional and underutilised. Part of the process of developing a solution should be the acknowledgement of the everyday in a specific community; the way in which space is produced, appropriated and the everyday rituals.
The intention of this dissertation is to re-conceptualise what an art centre could be in the context of Mamelodi West, the historic centre of Mamelodi. Through an understanding of the everyday, what is generally considered a mono-functional program is re-imagined as a diverse intervention integrated into everyday life and ritual. The dissertation proposes one possible means of connecting isolated communities using the commonality of the need for both individual and collective expression of identity to cultivate gemeinschaft; address misconceptions of the value of the Arts and propose a way in which the spatial legacy can be redressed.<br>Dissertation (MArch (Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2020.<br>Architecture<br>MArch (Prof)<br>Unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
Rivers once had meaning to societies. This meaning was associated with agricultural practices, spiritual connection with nature, social interaction and the combination of all these different activities and functions which were enjoyed by the whole community. Today these rivers have little (if any) meaning to society. Meaning has been lost due to neglect, pollution and crime. The spirit of community once associated with these rivers is now under threat. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential of a river system in creating meaningful places for a shared sense of community. It therefore presents an attempt at re/claiming this meaning, through the application of community design theory, with a river’s edge intervention that connects people with others, and communities with the river. The design process started with a site analysis to highlight the challenges and opportunities of the study area, local framework area, masterplan area and focus site. Existing frameworks and precedent studies assisted in compiling guidelines and design principles for the project. The study found that by dealing away with the current negative image of the river and re-introducing activities that the community values, these spaces can be re/claimed as meaningful people spaces. Community design, informed by the concept of place-making, is an appropriate theory for revitalising the river systems which cut through urban landscapes and disconnect communities. This study suggest that a landscape design based on community ethics, aspirations and cultural values i.e. social aspects of landscape architecture, is most likely to succeed in the long run as it creates a sense of belonging and ownership.<br>Dissertation (ML(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2011.<br>Architecture<br>unrestricted

Le terrain d’étude est centré sur les principaux châteaux de Syrie côtière de fondations grecques et franques qui furent améliorés défensivement par les Ayyoubides, puis par les Mamelouks, à partir de la fin du XIIe siècle jusqu’au début du XIVe siècle.

Durant l’hiver 1400, le chef turco-mongol Timur Lang/Tamerlan, occupe Damas. Quand ses troupes quittent la ville en mars 1401, elle est détruite et exsangue. Si les sources historiques et les études menées présentent cet événement comme un cataclysme, l’impact des troupes mongoles sur la ville doit être nuancé. En évaluant, grâce au croisement des éléments précis présentés par les textes,l’état de Damas avant et après son passage et il est possible de proposer une vision renouvelée des événements. Cette démarche permet d’aborder sous un angle nouveau l’étude de la renaissance de la ville, d’en appréhender le rythme, les mécanismes et les acteurs, à travers l’étude des textes historiques disponibles mais aussi grâce à la découverte de documents inédits apportant un éclairage neuf sur les enjeux de la reconstruction au début du XVe siècle. Dans l’optique d’une relativisation de l’impact de l’occupation de la ville, un nouvel examen des conséquences de la déportation des artisans de Damas vers Samarcande s’impose. Ce traumatisme est souvent présenté non seulement comme l'origine d'un déclin économique de la ville mais aussi comme la cause de la disparition de sa tradition architecturale. L’analyse des monuments permet de mettre en lumière les caractéristiques des constructions qui matérialisent la reprise tout au long du XVe siècle. Cherchant à évacuer le toposet le pathos inhérents aux récits des événements, ce travail combine donc l’examen des faits affectant le paysage urbain, l’analyse des aspects économiques de la reconstruction et l’étude des données architecturales afin de tenter de mesurer les conséquences réelles du passage de Tamerlan à Damas<br>During winter 1400, the turco-mongolian conqueror Timur Lang/Tamerlane occupies Damascus. InMarch 1401, after the departure of his troops, the city is destroyed and forsaken. Historic sourcesand studies present this event as a cataclysm, however, the impact of the mongolian horde on thecity has to be examined. It is necessary to estimate the condition of Damascus, before and after thisepisode. The crossing of data presented by the historic sources leads us to offer a renewed vision ofthe events. Then, the study of the revival of the city, thanks to a new approach and a newperspective, permits to discern its rhythm, its mechanisms and its central characters. Thisinvestigation is possible through the examination of the available historic texts and the unpublisheddocuments, bringing the light on the stakes of the reconstruction at the beginning of the XVthcentury. In order to complete the evaluation of the real impact of the occupation of the city, a newexamination of the consequences the deportation of Damascus craftsmen towards Samarkand iscrucial. This trauma is actually seen as the origin of an economic decline of the city and also as thecause of the disappearance of its architectural tradition. The analysis of very monument conducts tobring to light the building’s characteristics throughout the reconstruction. Trying to differ from toposand pathos inherent to the narratives of the events, this work thus combines the examination of thedamage affecting the townscape, the analysis of the economic aspects of the reconstruction, and thestudy of the architectural data, in order to measure the real consequences of Tamerlane presence inDamascus

This dissertation investigates the role of architecture in the emergence of community identity with specific reference to the spontaneous surfacing and expansion of informal settlements within the South African context and the need for fundamental public service infrastructure provision. The aim is to understand and illustrate the significance of contextual infrastructure provision as catalyst in the emergence of social and cultural networks. In analysing the current innovative survival strategies induced by the community themselves, a theoretical premise will be established regarding the implications of an "African urbanist" approach to infrastructure and means of applying it in design. The current rate of urbanization within the South African context has resulted in several human settlements expanding organically, attempting to meet the increasing housing demands whilst neglecting the provision of platforms for various interwoven layers of urban fabric and public services. These platforms are integral in the shaping of cultural and community identity. The intent of the proposal is to provide an interface between the public and the built fabric that serves the needs of, as well as enhances the quotidian praxis within the Eastern Mamelodi precinct. The proposal intends to disclose an existing cultural language and identity by establishing physical loci that host and exhibit quotidian social practices unique to Mamelodi. Through theoretical and contextual enquiry the study provides an understanding of the role as well as the necessity of infrastructure architecture manifested into an appropriate solution which will facilitate the corroboration of a unique cultural identity.<br>Dissertation MArch(Prof)--University of Pretoria, 2012.<br>Architecture<br>MArch(Prof)<br>Unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse dévoile comment les monuments sont construits au Caire mamlouk. La chaîne des évènements commence avec les sultans et émirs, leurs femmes et concubines, leurs esclaves et eunuques et les élites civiles, qui sont les promoteurs de ces bâtiments. Trouver le concepteur de cette architecture monumentale fut par contre plus malaisées. L'approche de la phase de la conception nous a amené à émettre des hypothèses quant aux outils utilisés lors de la formalisation du projet. L'étude de la question foncière, aussi bien sur le plan économique et juridique que sur la localisation géographique des parcelles dans le tissu urbain ont montré des soucis urbanistiques. L'analyse des acteurs de la construction a permis de les classer en fonction des phases du déroulement du chantier, en présentant la division du travail, ainsi que les corps des métiers. Au sommet du système hiérarchique on trouve le ?ādd al-'amā'ir, un délégué présentant le commanditaire sur le chantier, qui jouissait d'un pouvoir illimité. Ensuite, le nāẓir, qui peut parfois se substituer au précédent. Vient le muhandis, un assistant technique, travaillant généralement en équipe et qui est censé être le véritable maître d'oeuvre. Le dernier groupe est celui des artisans et ouvriers. Retrouver leurs traces a révélé la richesse et la grande diversité du Caire à l'époque, qui ne résidait pas simplement dans les aspects architecturaux mais aussi dans la question de la tolérance. Finalement, en étudiant comment au quotidien se fait un monument, on a réussi à dessiner une image détaillé du déroulement du chantier de sa conception jusqu'à son inauguration<br>This thesis uncovers how monuments were built in Mamlouk Cairo. The chain of events starts with; sultans and emirs, their wives and concubines, slaves and eunuchs and civilian elites, who sponsor the buildings. The designers of such monumental architecture were not usually given credit and hence not mentioned in most historical documents. While researching the design of the monuments, we discovered a number of tools used in the design phase. The study of the land acquisition, shed light on the importance of the geographical location within the urban fabric, which revealed the economic and legal complications involved. Then we tackle the question of the responsibility on the construction site. At the top of the hierarchy there is the ?ādd al-'amā'ir, who represents the sponsor on the site, followed by the Nāẓir, which can sometimes replace the ?ādd. Then the Muhandis, a technical assistant, usually working in a team and who implements the design. We analyze the chain of operations from the top of the hierarchy down to the artisans, workers and unskilled labor. The analysis included a study of the division of labor and the details of the different crafts used in the site construction and in workshops. Studying all the site workers revealed the different economic standards and the diversity of the population in Cairo. Finally, we trace the history of the making of the monument in this period and are able to draw a full detailed picture of the timeline of a Mamlouk monument from inception to inauguration

Thesis (MTech. degree in Architecture (Professional))--Tshwane University of Technology, 2012.<br>The location of Mamelodi in close approximate to new developments of the eastern part of Tshwane makes Mamelodi a very attractive place for persons from rural areas seeking a better life. Although this area formally designated as a 'black townships', public infrastructure and community services do exists but access to certain civic and educational services are restricted. The proposed intervention aims to provide the community with access to the currently inaccessible civic and educational services by the introduction of a new Mamelodi East Thusong Service Centre and Information Resource Centre at the existing Pienaarspoort Railway Station in Mamelodi East. The proposed intervention acknowledges public space in an African context; the market street as public space typology and the informal trader as urban and architectural client by providing facilities required for a self-sustaining community. The activity driven intervention aims to evoke a sense of belonging to its user by establishing a dynamic, meaningful and unifying experience. A place where public space becomes the foreground and buildings serves as a mere backdrop for human activity.

Our society is one in which death has become a predominant influencing factor of our social context, with the dramatic rise in AIDS related deaths. Yet the institutions that accommodate the terminally ill or the dying, have become stale, clinical and mechanical in both their architecture and their processes. This thesis proposes to re-address the physical environment of hospital and clinical architecture that facilitate the process of dying. The design of this Hospice and Educational Facility aims to reintroduce life within the architecture through the embodiment of movement, visual interest, meaning, memory, choice and integration. The project is located within the Mamelodi community along the Eastern edge of the Pienaar River, bordering a green space. The Mamelodi community is vibrant and rich, filled with self-expression and opportunities, and despite its impoverished services and urban fabric it provides the perfect platform for such a facility. Especially when combined with the indomitable spirit of the people who live there. The Project integrates with and serves the immediate context of Mamelodi. Through the facilities provision of functions - including hospice and outpatient functions, education, interaction, architectural language, as well as the community-accessible permaculture garden and redeveloped green space.

The development should also provide facilities to empower the local community through education, and the opportunity to convert fresh produce into an economical benefit.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTech. degree in Architecture (Professional))--Tshwane University of Technology, 2011.<br>The Department of Justice has sanctioned regional courts to hear divorce cases which were traditionally only heard in the High Court. This address the accessibility to civil services. Four branch courts in Gauteng have been upgraded to full service courts, including Mamelodi. These law reforms will increase the case load for the already over-extended court in Mamelodi, and the dissertation will aim to resolve accommodation short comings and bring the facilities in alignment with full service court standards. As a society we all are affected by or benefit from the protection the law offers. The buildings that facilitate these legal processes are a particularly challenging type of civic complex. The aim is thus not to design a new type of complex merely replacing existing models for the sake of changing existing typologies into something more modern, but rather to offer a proposal motivated by sustainability and guided by the belief that a building which embodies social outcomes should be designed to be a regional response with sensitivity to current conditions.

Full textAbstract:
M. Tech. Architecture (Professional)<br>The aim of this research is to design a trauma centre for abused women and children in the Mamelodi area, which will aid their recovery from extremely distressful and traumatic events. The current system focuses on the immediate effects of abuse and rape. Very few resources are avalable in terms of supporting the survivor's long term emotional and psychological wellbeing. The objectives of the proposed facility will focus on psychological and emotional care as well as addressing the lack of psychologigal facilities and spatial quality in healing spaces.
