Este estudo buscou analisar uma parte da obra da artista contemporânea francesa Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, pondo em foco especialmente sua relação com a arquitetura moderna e com o Brasil. Nessa direção, interessava também compreender de que maneira a artista opera as dimensões do tempo e do espaço em suas obras. Para isso, fez-se necessário um estudo prévio sobre o rompimento das barreiras artísticas com a arquitetura e outros campos de conhecimento, um aprofundamento sobre a síntese e autonomia no campo artístico, assim como uma investigação acerca de algumas teorias para a arte contemporânea e os grupos de artistas que se conformaram ao redor de um conceito de Estética Relacional. A pesquisa se deteve sobre o período que compreende os anos finais da década de 1980 até 2014 e estudou obras realizadas no Brasil e no estrangeiro. O início do trabalho abrange as obras entre as décadas de 1990 até os anos 2000 que partem de uma proposta de Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster de produzir ambientes domésticos no âmbito institucional: são as obras da série Chambres. Essas obras suscitam questões como a tecnologia, a imaterialidade, os vazios potenciais e a criação de novas narrativas pelos expectadores/visitantes ativos. A seguir, estudamos o modo como a artista evoca e migra para os espaços exteriores produzindo obras institucionais que tenham uma relação com cidades, ou ainda propostas para parques e jardins que são pensados como a primeira exterioridade ainda vinculada de algum modo à esfera doméstica de suas obras iniciais. São abordados nesse ponto do estudo os conceitos de deslocamento, da constituição fragmentada do indivíduo contemporâneo, além do papel das viagens em sua obra. Ainda nesse ponto, estudamos o conceito de jogo presente na obra de Dominique e em diálogo com a produção de Helio Oiticica. Finalmente, a última etapa desse estudo tratou da relação da obra de Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster com a arquitetura moderna, as influências da cidade de Grenoble, sua arquitetura, urbanismo e comunidade artística; e a arquitetura moderna brasileira, em obras entre os anos 1999 e 2014. Para essa parte do estudo fez-se necessário contextualizar a migração do projeto de modernidade para áreas periféricas, que produziriam modernidades alternativas e, segundo Gonzalez-Foerster, imbuídas de potencialidades. Estudamos também a perda de utopia da modernidade e de que maneira a artista trabalharia isso em suas obras. A partir do conceito de tropicalização, segundo um ponto de vista específico desse termo definido por Gonzalez-Foerster, são exploradas três mostras que operam com esse conceito e que em diversos momentos dialogam com o restante da produção da artista. Por fim, percorremos outras quatro obras e exposições individuais e coletivas das quais a artista participou no Brasil entre os anos de 2010 à 2014 com a intenção de fazer um pequeno panorama da produção da artista no país, somando um total de 25 obras analisadas. / This study has the intention to analyze the body of Dominique Gonzalez- Foerster\'s work, specially its relations with modern architecture and Brazil. Therefore, this research is also interested to understand the way the artist deals with time and space along her work. That being so, it was necessary to proceed a previous studies about the limits suppression of art and architecture and other fields of knowledge; an investigation about the synthesis and autonomy in the artistic field; and also about contemporary art theories and its artist\'s conformation around the concept of Relational Aesthetics. This research covers the period of time from 1980 to 2014 and studied works produced in Brazil and abroad. The works from 1990 to 2000 in the beginning of this study are one part of Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster\'s proposal of producing domestic environments inside the art institutions: the Chambres series. These pieces of art reflect about issues such as technology, immateriality, potential emptiness and the possibility of new narrative creation by the active viewers/visitants. The next step was to study how the artist recalls and also migrates to exterior spaces producing institutional works which are in relation to the cities, or else, projects for parks and gardens thought as the first possible exteriority still connected somehow to the domestic feel of her first works. At this point, we had to look into the concepts of displacement, of the fragmented constitution of the contemporary beings, and the role of the travels in her work. Still, the concept of playing, present in Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster\'s work, and its relation to Helio Oiticica\'s proposals were also examined. Finally, the last part of this study regards and analyzes the relation of her work with modern architecture, the influences of Grenoble, its architecture, urban planning and artistic community; and the modern Brazilian architecture, in her works between 1999 and 2014. For this part of the study it was essential to briefly historically contextualize the process of the ideals of modernity migration for peripheral areas, which produce alternative modernities, for Dominique Gonzalez Foerster, filled with potentiality. The loss of modernity utopia and the way the artist comprises it in her works were also a relevant subject of this dissertation. Considering the concept of tropicalization, developed in a specific way by Gonzalez-Foerster, three exhibitions were studied, especially in their way to dialogue with the rest of the artist\'s work. At last, other four individual exhibitions in Brazil between 2010 and 2014 were analyzed with the intention to produce a panorama of the artist\'s work in the country, and to sum them to all of the 25 works in this research.

The capability of radar measured rainfall to enhance the simulation of storm hydrographs was assessed. Six rainfall events which occurred in 1986 and 1987 over an 8.13 km$ sp2$ agricultural watershed in south-western Quebec were used in model simulations. Radar measured rainfall rates were calibrated using measurements from a single tipping-bucket raingauge located at the study site. / A deterministic, event-based model, HYMO, was used to simulate streamflow using radar and gauge measured rainfall. The model utilized two rainfall abstraction techniques, i.e. the SCS Curve Number method and the Green-Ampt infiltration equation. Simulated streamflow hydrographs were compared with observed storm flows. / For short duration, high intensity, simple rainfall events, there were minor improvements in hydrograph simulations when calibrated radar measured rainfalls were input to the model, compared to tipping-bucket raingauge measurements. Complex, low intensity storms were poorly simulated by the model using either rainfall data source. Neither rainfall abstraction method proved consistently superior.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Dominique Botha‟s False River, published simultaneously with the rewritten Afrikaans text Valsrivier in 2013, is a fictionalised memoir presented as a novel that is written into the tradition of the plaasroman. The text follows the lives of the Bothas of Rietpan in the Free State and spans the years between 1980 and 1997. In this thesis I discuss the novel focussing on questions surrounding narration and its affirmation or negation of agency, embodiment and subjectivity, the narrative construction of the Botha family‟s isolating liberalism in its present post-apartheid context, and the perception of the author and the novel by Afrikaans and English literary communities. I explore the text‟s relationship to genre, drawing on J.M. Coetzee‟s examination of the literary pastoral in White Writing: On the Culture of Letters in South Africa. It is through this theoretical lens that I argue that False River depicts a conflicted, inconsistent and perforated view of Afrikaner identity and its relationship to gender, notions of landed belonging, Afrikaans-English linguistic co-habitation, and black subjectivity, in an agrarian landscape that dominates through anthropopsychism and primogeniture. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dominique Botha se False River, tegelykertyd gepubliseer met die herskryfde Afrikaanse teks Valsrivier in 2013, is ʼn geromantiseerde memoir wat as fiksie aangebied word en is binne die tradisie van die plaasroman geskryf. Die teks beskryf die lewens van die Bothas van Rietpan in die Vrystaat vanaf 1980 tot 1997. In my tesis bespreek ek dié roman met die fokus op vraagstukke rondom die vertelling se bekragtiging of ontkenning van bemagtiging, beliggaming en subjektiwiteit; van die verhaalkonstruksie van die Botha-familie se isolerende liberalisme in die huidige postapartheid konteks, asook die persepsie van die outeur en die roman deur Afrikaanse en Engelse literêre gemeenskappe. Ek ondersoek die teks se verhouding tot genre, na aanleiding van J.M. Coetzee se behandeling van die literêre pastoraal in White Writing: On the Culture of Letters in South Africa, om aan te voer dat False River ʼn strydige, inkonsekwente en geperforeerde beskouing van Afrikaner-identiteit toon. Die verhouding van dié identiteit tot geslagtelikheid, grondbesit, Afrikaans-Engels linguistiese samebestaan, en swart subjektiwiteit word ook uitgelig binne die milieu van die agrariese landskap wat deur eersgeboortereg en die natuur-in-simpatie-procédé die karakters domineer.
