This research report will attempt to show that, in an attempt to cater for tourist tastes for the exotic, a Cape Malay identity has been constructed for the residents of the Bo- Kaap community which is made to date back to the 17th Century. Two books from popular tourist literature and three travel guides have been analysed. Furthermore, this research report will demonstrate how the built environment of the city and its surrounding areas can provide us with a much more nuanced narrative than the one which is currently being presented to tourists.

As semiconductor device sizes continue to decrease, the traditional bulk CMOS technology is seen as an obstacle itself by the physical device limitations. One of the physical limitations of MOSFETs is to ensure that the SCEs and related issues can be controlled to maintain device performance targets. For SOI MOSFETs, due to the presence of BOX, short-channel behavior is improved, as compared to bulk Si. But self-heating plays a key role in affecting device reliability. Thus, these challenges make the future of planar technology being difficult to be continuously implemented. In this thesis we introduce the concept of the isolation-last process which moves the ¡§FET active region definition¡¨ to the back of the S/D activation process. There are two kinds of devices to be fabricated: BOSDT-APSB MOSFET and ZBOSDT-APSB MOSFET. BOSDT is the acronym of block-oxide S/D-tie and APSB is the acronym of additional poly-Si body. It should be noted that the ZBO is the acronym of zero BO (absence of BO). Actually, the two above-mentioned devices can be referred to as the poly-Si TFTs, due to the presence of poly-Si active region. However, for the ultimate scaling, the two proposed devices can have an additional silicon body or ASB. Two proposed devices, being a consideration of fabrication aspects, have a different design compared to their scaled-down sizes. But we can still hold the ASB¡¦s core values. According to the simulation, the ASB shows its ability to alleviate the SCEs and offers improved cooling capability, which is because the additional body provides extra space for heat dissipation. The unwanted results are that the large gate leakage current and parasitic capacitances are observed as the ASB is created. Fortunately, these results are still within acceptable limits. Experimental results show that the APSB is desirable to suppress the SCEs in both BOSDT and ZBOSDT MOSFETs. We also verify that the device¡¦s cooling capability can be improved by introducing an APSB into MOSFETs. In other words, the APSB is useful for enhanced performance and reliability, although some disadvantages exist also. The BO has been proven to have a better channel controllability than its counterpart. But the ZBO can be seen as the ultimately scaled BO. And after scaling, the schemes of ZBO and ASB become more pronounced.

This research paper analyses the culture and community in Bo-Kaap, which is battling to preserve its heritage amid growing gentrification. Gentrification in this area is analysed as a special case in point, as although gentrification is happening in other neighbourhoods in Cape Town, Bo-Kaap is the home of Islam in South Africa, and is geographically set in a prime location of the city. This research paper includes an ethnographic study, as well as a photographic essay and a podcast series which supports the research in creative forms.The researcher interviewed several people from the area to discern the culture and the issues faced by the community. This paper examines the ethnographic lived experience of the researcher, as well as that of a local family. Three main events are examined to provide insight into the culture and community, namely an AirBnb traditional cooking experience, Eid AlAdha and the visit to the area by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The findings of this paper show that significant changes have and continue to occur, although the community is resilient in their efforts to preserve the culture. This research aims to provide additional and alternative records of the culture of the community as it stands in present day, in a holistic research effort. It also showcases the importance of the rich culture of the community which society needs to ensure is preserved.

O trabalho investiga o processo criativo de Lina Bo Bardi a partir da pesquisa de conceitos incorporados em seus projetos e desvelados pelos seus croquis e anotações. Discorre pela sua trajetória profissional: contexto histórico, os movimentos artísticos e culturais e as circunstâncias favoráveis através de sua rede de relações pessoais. Apresenta a descrição de alguns de seus projetos e os conceitos arquitetônicos utilizados. Na estratégia de abordagem do processo criativo, analisa as referências utilizadas e o conjunto de registros gráficos gerados na fase de concepção dos projetos. / The work investigates the creative process of Lina Bo Bardi from research of concepts incorporated in her projects and elucidated by her sketches and notations. It discourses about her professional trajectory: historical context, the artistic and cultural movements lived deeply and the favorable circumstances through her personal relationship net. It presents the description of some of her projects and the architectural concepts used. In the strategy approach to the creative process, it analyzes the references used and the series of graphical registers generated in the conception phase of the projects.

Este trabalho trata do processo de revisão crítica na produção da arquitetura moderna brasileira, pós-Brasília, partindo da construção da Igreja Espírito Santo do Cerrado (Uberlândia, 1976-1982) como caso de relevância para a constituição de um panorama nacional por reformulações acerca da disciplina. No desenvolvimento da pesquisa, o limite temporal pré-estabelecido foi constantemente alimentado por precedentes históricos pertinentes à compreensão do subdesenvolvimento brasileiro. As pesquisas da autora do projeto em estudo, Lina Bo Bardi, por uma produção condizente à identidade nacional, concretizadas até então em São Paulo e no Nordeste, também são consideradas como processo fundamental à sua atuação no Triângulo Mineiro. Os valores intrínsecos ao objeto, de ordem social, cultural, técnica, estética e popular, associados à notoriedade da produção da arquiteta, possibilitam uma análise crítica da obra. Ainda, permitem avanços historiográficos e nos debates sobre as inflexões ocorridas entre o movimento moderno e a arquitetura contemporânea. A análise proposta construiu-se por meio de uma leitura sobre o processo de projeto, construção e recepção desse conjunto arquitetônico e encerrou-se na discussão à respeito da condição de patrimônio histórico da obra e suas consequentes intervenções. / This paper deals with the process of critical review in the production of modern brazilian architecture, post-Brasilia, starting the construction of the Igreja Espírito Santo do Cerrado (Uberlândia, 1976-1982) as a case of relevance to the establishment of a national scene by reformulations about discipline. In the development of the research, the predetermined time limit was constantly sustained by historical precedents relevant to the understanding of brazilian underdevelopment. The author´s research about this project, Lina Bo Bardi, of a consistent production to national identity, achieved so far in São Paulo and in the Northeast, are also regarded as fundamental process for its operations in the Triângulo Mineiro. The intrinsic values to the object, social, cultural, technical, esthetics and popular, associated with the production architect of renown, enable a critical analysis of the work. Still, let historiographical developments and debates on the inflections occurred between the modern movement and contemporary architecture. The proposed analysis was constructed by a reading of the design process, construction and reception of this architectural complex and ended up in the discussion about the heritage status of the work and its consequent interventions.
