Ruhlig, Vanessa Jane. "Colonial architecture as heritage: German colonial architecture in post-colonial Windhoek." Thesis, University of Cape Town, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/30196.

Abstract:
The rapid post-Independence development of the city of Windhoek, Namibia; and the ensuing destruction of a substantial number of German colonial buildings in the capital city, prompted speculation as to why these buildings are inadequately protected as heritage – and whether they are, in fact, considered to be heritage. The study explores the issues pertaining to the presence of German colonial architecture, as artefacts of the German colonial period, within the postcolonial context of Windhoek. The trauma and pain of the Namibian War and genocide (1904 – 1908) are recurring themes in the bod

It is axiomatic, based on visits to and observations of a large number of buildings in Malaysia and the United Kingdom, that there are many similarities between the British colonial buildings built between 1800 and 1930 in Malaysia and those built in the same period of time in the United Kingdom; in terms of style, building materials, detailing, function and construction. Like many other countries in which building conservation seems a fairly new practi

Abstract:
This study presents a history of the French Canadian piece sur piece log houses constructed in Michigan in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Drawing upon a 17th century architectural tradition in Canada, the early French Canadian settlers switched from the poteaux en terre building style to the piece sur piece, or horizontal log construction form. This type of log house, through the building techniques it employed, was distinct from any of its contemporaries. The reason for this change dealt with the changing nature of the French settlement in Michigan, from a fur trade economy to one that in

Abstract:
This is a ‘novelistic’ study, that, among and through its other objectives, will attempt to demonstrate how such a characterisation in no way excludes an engaged examination of history, politics, society, culture, ideologies etc. – i.e. the multiple ‘worldedness’ of human existence. We argue, on the contrary, that the inclusion of such dimensions is absolutely fundamental to the writing and interpreting of novels. By ‘novelistic’ we understand, and will establish in our first chapter, a mode of interrogation of human being-in-the-world that is ontologically oriented and epistemologically equip

Abstract:
Virginia architecture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries prior to the American Revolution has distinctive geometries which determine proportion. The square, root-two rectangle and equilateral triangle are the figures which establish most proportions. Plans and elevations underwent a development based on a rational method of incorporating the figures into a coherent building. This investigation establishes the use of geometry as a starting point for the culmination of many elements which together composed a building.<br>Master of Architecture
