The architecture of Morning and Afternoon. Create still life paintings using tenets of Purism to search for new form(s) from real objects. The paintings will be used to inspire and inform new designs for and architecture project. Using painting to study architecture will necessitate a dual world of painting from reality and designing architecture to become a reality. Purism means to learn to look at an object and truly see it as an object with its own qualities. Still life objects placed where the canvas is a space to design and multiple views of those objects are revealed at once. Objects like bottles, plates and other forms that have remained consistant over generations of refinement. Architectural approaches of drawing like axonometric will be used to help form a critical way of seeing. The project is for the Good Shephard Elementary school for the Diocese of Monterey in Santa Cruz, California. The elementary school serves roughly 300 students that include pre-school up to 8th grade. The school is currently housed in a building that was constructed roughly 20 years ago and is at maximum capacity. The school owns and occupies a large piece of property in the Santa Cruz city and after school, weekends and during breaks the school is used as a soccer field for the town soccer league. The school is situated in the southern end of the city of Santa Cruz and accessible by car but does not front any major streets. Highway 1 runs south to north just to the west of the school grounds and is a major conduit of automobile traffic to the city. / Master of Architecture

This thesis is a qualitative, historical study of The Good Shepherd School in Huntly Street, Grahamstown, South Africa. It is one of the oldest school buildings in South Africa that remains in use as a school. There are two main threads to understanding The Good Shepherd School in context. The first of these threads, the colonial root of the school, is explained in a discussion of the Grammar School, attached to the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. George, that utilised the Huntly Street facilities from 1851 to 1902. The second thread is the strong tradition of caring for the underprivileged. This is traced through following the development of the educational works of The Community of the Resurrection which involves the discussion of various schools at different locations in Grahamstown. The current school on the Huntly Street premises, The Good Shepherd School, forms, however, the focus of this study, which draws on all the histories of its forerunners and their historical locations. Historical social science methods and procedures were used in the research. This was done through documentary analysis of evidence as well as through semi-structured interviews, creating an interpretative account of how the school has affected people's lives. The conclusion reached is that The Good Shepherd School has contributed greatly to the education of underprivileged people in the Grahamstown area. It appears to be an outstanding example of a school offering a well-rounded, caring education when this was historically denied to many people in South Africa.

A partir du XIXe siècle, la fondation du Bon Pasteur est créée par Mère Marie-Euphrasie. La mission spécifique decet ordre est de s'occuper de la population dans la misère et tout particulièrement des femmes et des enfants, afin desoulager leur détresse, de leur apporter du soutien et de les encourager à se réinsérer dans la société. Au Royaume-Uni les institutions du Bon Pasteur prennent le nom de couvents Madeleine, se référant ainsi à la figure biblique de Marie-Madeleine pécheresse repentie qui devient une fidèle du Christ. La vocation de ces établissements Madeleine est d'accueillir les prostituées et les mères célibataires. Ils se spécialisent rapidement dans le travail de blanchisserie, tâche éminemment symbolique car ces femmes doivent avant tout se laver de leurs péchés. Sous le règne de Victoria la morale puritaine se durcit, la figure de Madeleine incarne désormais «la catin», la femme de «mauvaise vie». Trois décrets sont alors promulgués afin de freiner l'extension de la prostitution et des maladies sexuellement transmissibles. Ce n'est que dans les années 1990 que des voix s'élèvent pour dénoncer les abus et les maltraitances commis dans certaines de ces institutions, voix bientôt relayées et amplifiées par plusieurs œuvres cinématographiques, en particulier par le film de Peter Mullan The Magdalena Sisters. Ce travail vise à comprendre pourquoi de tels faits se sont produits, à étudier le rôle des médias dans le processus de dénonciation et dans quelle mesure nous pouvons considérer qu'ils contribuent à faire l'Histoire. / The Foundation of the Good Shepherd was set up by Mother Marie-Euphrasie in the XIX!h century. The specificmission of the order was to take care of the poor, and particularly of women and children, to ease their distress, givethem support and encourage them to make their way back into society. ln the UK, the Good Shepherd institutes were known as Magdalen Asylums, for the biblical figure of Mary Magdalene, a repentant sinner who became a disciple of Christ; the vocation of these Magdalen institutions was to shelter prostitutes and single mothers. They quickly came to specialise in laundry work- a symbolic task, as these women had above all to wash away their sins. During the reign of Queen Victoria, puritanism became more severe, and the figure of Mary Magdalena came to embody the "whore", the "fallen" woman. Three Acts of Parliament were passed to curb the expansion of prostitution and venereal diseases. Il was only in the late 1990s that voices were raised to denounce the abuse and ill-treatment committed in some of these institutions, voices that were soon picked up and amplified in a number of films, and in particular Peter Mullan's The Magdalena Sisters. The aim of this study is to understand why such things happened, and to study the role played by the media in the process of their exposure and to what extent they can be said to make History.

The thesis focuses on the Maria Montessori's method of religious education, how it has taken root in christian catechesis. The purpose of the Petra Bandhauer thesis is to analyse its principles, to describe its development and the way of reception by the educationalists. To provide a deeper glimpse into the field of the theological anthropology the author compares some of Montessori's opinions, most criticised, with the views of Wolfhart Pannenberg and Karl Rahner. The last aim is to introduce the way of reflection of Montessori religious education in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and in Godly Play, to examine their practice both in Germany and in the Czech Republic and to highlight the potential they have for the spiritual formation of children in the ecumenical christian society.

Ninguém duvida da importância do discurso do Bom Pastor em Jo 10. Todavia, poucos estudos conseguem precisar a dinâmica do relato, sua estrutura interna e, sobretudo, a relação com o conjunto do quarto evangelho. Menos ainda, se conhece a relação do texto com passagens do Antigo Testamento, com a tradição judaica e a literatura intertestamentária. A aproximação com estas diversas fontes permite enquadrar com perspectiva exegética e hermenêutica esta alocução de Jesus, inclusive realizando um balanço das distintas apresentações e interpretações da perícope em autores de reconhecida trajetória mundial no âmbito da exegese. / There is no doubt about the importance one should give to the words of the Good Shepherd in John 10. Nevertheless, very few studies have dealt with the dynamics of the narrative, its inner structure and especialy, with its relationship within the contex of the fourth gospel. We know even less about the links of this text with others in the Old Testament, what is said in the the Jewish Tradition and other writings betwween the two Testaments. Neediess to say that a close study of these sources will give an exegetical and hermeneutical focus and a new perspective to these words of Jesus. This could also be achieved without overlookin different studies and interpretations os these verses given by worlwide known exegetes.
