1	The Gavel and the Ghost Smit, Reynard January 2013 (has links) This thesis explores an alternative method of making Architecture based on ideas presented by Bruno Latour in “Give me a gun and I will make all buildings move” and concepts discussed by Peter Eisenman within “Diagram: An Original Scene of Writing.” The static nature of representation within Euclidian Space requires a re-evaluation of the generative qualities inherent within diagrams. Managed through an identified mechanism, the thesis investigates the excavation of potential within Pretoria Central’s lost spaces by generating programme, response and resolution from elements inherent in the diachronic context. / Dissertation MArch(Prof)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / Architecture / MArch(Prof) / Unrestricted Architecture Architectural theory Lost space Pretoria CBD Bruno Latour Peter Eisenman Mechanism Representation Court Probation Centre Community Court Small Claims Court UCTD F14/4/524/gm
