| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/6085 The influences on the two inner city housing projects of the Bo Kaap and District Six in Cape Town that were built between 1938 and 1944 Van Graan, André Low, Iain Architecture, Planning and Geomatics Includes bibliographical references (leaves 77-81). This study examines the social, political, and architectural influences that shaped the two Cape Town inner city housing projects in the Bo Kaap and District Six that were built after the introduciton of the Slums Act of 1943, between 1938 and 1944. During this period there there were changes in the hegemonic perceptions of the city. The eradication of slums served as a catalyst for spatial change and the dislocation of lived space as the city sought to re-create itself as a modern, rationally planned metropolis. The civic authorities and architects appeared to use the criteria of the modernist discourse as a mechanism to wield social control on marginalised members of society; creating mechanisms of removal, exclusion, surveillance and control based on ethnicity. This reflects the perceptions of the French philosopher, Foucault regarding power and control. 2014-08-13T13:51:16Z 2014-08-13T13:51:16Z 2004 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6085 eng application/pdf School of Architecture, Planning and Geomatics Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
