Abstract:

Traditionally, the essence and spirit of place dictated its use. Harmoniously intertwined, physical and mythical attributes were looked to in order to preserve the spirit of place (Genius loci). Today, such a place is the Atteridgeville fresh water reservoirs. Providing an opportune site to reclaim the spirit of place for the contemporary resident. Understanding that the shack typology is not of place but of circumstances - this dissertation searches for an architecture of place in the scene of a democratic South Africa.

Le territoire est porté dans le débat public depuis les années quatre vingt à l'aune de la mise en place des politiques de décentralisation.

Le territoire est appréhendé comme une construction (Gosse et Sprimont, 2008) au titre de laquelle l'appel à des acteurs multiples aux légitimités variées voire potentiellement conflictuelles (Mendez et Mercier, 2006) constitue un défi pour l'action colle

Abstract:

This thesis examines the politics of post-Soviet Russia's internal borders. The central argument is that the dynamics of center-regional relations in Russia can best be understood by examing borders as social and political institutions. Borders configure interests, distribute resources, and regulate identity. While the institutional qualities of borders often lay hidden, they are laid bare by conflicts over their status and content. This thesis takes advantage of the centralization processes initiated by Russian President Vladimir Putin to examine the relationship of Russia's internal borders

Abstract:

<p> The field of artists' books is a realm in which a phenomenon is mapped and territorialized. This is based on the human necessity to map the world and have a better grasp of it. Additionally, it is constructed on the understanding of the history of the book’s physicality as an important emblem in civilization. An artist’s book is an isolated realm, both a map and a territory. It is closed in itself, and has its own rules and dynamics, yet carries varied affinities with the outside world.</p>

For this reason this work has been focused also on possible impacts of the landfill on the groundwaters (shallow and deep aquifer).

Equally, it does not adequately protect the entire territory of States for the following two reasons. Firstly, the UN member States shelter in the first limb of Article 2(4) to engage in conducts that violate the territory of other States while claiming subservience to

Abstract:

Implicit in any urban design is a negotiation between public and private interests. Such a negotiation is articulated and made legible in the facades, fences and even more subtle edges separating this from that. A complex variety of spatial situations are produced depending on how spaces are framed, how interfaces are materialized. In the city, the interplay of open space, building and boundary produces a patchwork of subspaces, which we can consider as potential urban territories. Most of us are familiar with the results of territorial production and recognize that fences, furniture or planti

During the 1870's, the delegates of the nations attending the Okmulgee Council also attempted to form a confederacy.

Precise monitoring of thaw-consolidation parameters on a lobe indicated that most thaw-settlement occurred when the soil was saturated to the surface.

It challenges current strategies of rural regeneration in China, which heavily rely on models of urbanisation, as well as the prevailing mentality that views the countryside as not just economically but also culturally and intellectually under-developed. The key research question is thus: what does being rural mean socio-spatially?

The largest fillings covered approximately 463.0 km² of the valley bottom and were approximately 28.37 km³ in volume.

Abstract:

This work was initially launched to study the synthesis of low-valent group 13 compounds bearing the bis(imino)pyridine ligand framework. Since its inception, this project has grown beyond the boundaries of group 13 to include low valent tin, silver, and rhenium. Alongside the reports of novel coordination compounds, we utilized computational chemistry to uncover unprecedented interactions which challenge conventional concepts of bonding. Synthesis, characterization, and complimentary computational studies are presented herein. Chapter 1 presents a historical overview of the bis(imino)pyridine

Abstract:

The rapid change in climate currently being recorded in the Western Canadian Arctic is projected to have a major influence on the permafrost ground that underlies more than half of Canada's landmass. The isolation of this vast landscape has inhibited scientific research consequently limiting the body of knowledge on sub-surface permafrost features. Specifically, there is limited information about massive ground ice units, large tabular bodies of ice with a gravimetric moisture content greater than 250% (percent dry weight). Massive ground ice bodies originate from the burial of surface ice, su

Abstract:

The explosive growth of the electric streetlight across cities in Europe and America at the beginning of the 20th century signified an immense social, cultural and technological leap forward for the Westernised World. With the emergence of 24-hour society photographers turned their attention to the skyline, recording the evolution of these new social spaces. This research study tracks the growth of 20th century nocturnal landscape through examining photographic data that developed with the emergence of this new territory . Primary visual analysis indentifies a persistent visual rhetoric in the

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>O objetivo principal deste trabalho dissertativo é tentar provar que a implantação de cursos superiores na modalidade de ensino à distância tem a capacidade de promover a existência de novos territórios e, conseqüentemente, territorialidades. Para tal, foi feito um resgate histórico, com ênfase no século XX, no intuito de verificarmos o quanto a difusão do meio técnico-científico informacional contribuiu para que o ensino à distância proliferasse no Brasil, e mais precisamente, a partir de três instituições de ensino superior que oferecem t
