    The evolution of Le Corbusier’s architecture from cuboid, slick and white forms, and the universality of Purism in the 1920s, to an earthy roughness, undeniabl[y] inspired by Mediterranean vernacular traditions after about ...
  • Redelinghuys, Ian; Stevens, Ingrid (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2010)
    It is possible that artists, in the making of memorials and monuments, might aid in the process of national healing after a traumatic national era or event. This, it is argued, is more likely to be achieved through the ...

  • Olivier, Bert (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2010)

  • Janse van Rensburg, Ariane (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2010)
    The medieval church used stained glass windows to mediate between Latin scripture and the illiterate laity. Following the Reformation, Calvinist tradition avoided visual symbolism. In the Afrikaans Dutch Reformed Church, ...
  • Noble, J.A. (Jonathan) (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2010)
    This paper is mindful of the increasingly complex mediations of public and private, and explores theoretical constructs gleaned from architectural thought and political theory, to derive ideas that are pertinent to our ...
  • Coetzer, Nicholas (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2011)
    The design studio is a key component of architectural education. In South African universities, the design studio tends to be dominated by what I call the Apprenticeship Studio. This teaching approach establishes the ...
  • Konik, Adrian; Konik, Inge (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2010)
    Taking as its point of departure the validity of Michel Foucault’s ideas concerning disciplinary power, bio-power, and the privileged position of sexuality as a focal point of their combination, this article furnishes a ...
  • Van Heerden, Ariana (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2010)
    There are various concepts of optimal human functioning such as creativity, flow, peak experience and self-actualization. With suggestions that creativity and flow are interrelated, and possibly even interchangeable, at ...
  • Naude, Mauritz (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2010)
    The rondavel has become a typical feature on farmsteads but it is not the only building with a circular floor plan. Several other structures also have a circular floor plan. In Western architecture we have become accustomed ...
  • Deane, Darren R. (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2010)

  • Mare, Estelle Alma (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2010)
    For Renaissance artists whose purpose was to portray human figures convincingly knowledge of anatomy, which is based on the dissection of bodies, was essential. In the case of El Greco, who received his first artistic ...
  • Steyn, Gerald (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2010)

  • Stupples, Peter (Art Historical Work Group of South Africa, 2010)
