Versteek in die westelike uithoeke van Pretoria is die oorblyfsels van die voormalige bewaarder van die Weste, vandag bekend as 'Westfort'. Kort voor die Tweede W?reldoorlog uitbgebreek het is die fort gedemonteer, gestroop vir sy staal, en aan totale verval oorgelaat (Van Vollenhoven 1998:25). Hierdie verhandeling spreek die eindelose proses van ru?nasie en isolasie in hoogs bestrede tye van verandering aan. Deur hierdie verlate ru?ne te rehabiliteer, kan Westfort moontlik raaisels van die verlede ontbloot en terselfdetyd 'n behoefte skep om stories daaroor te vertel. The Heritage Portal will act as the mediator in celebrating the continuity of our collective and continuous South African heritage through the experience of narration. The intention of the project is to protect the heritage significance of the Westfort precinct, secure its future value, and introduce continuity through experiential architecture. KEYWORDS: Ruination, collective, experiential, rehabilitate, narration, continuity a Lost and forgotten ruin a Beacon of continuity and belonging Die Erfenisportaal sal as bemiddelaar optree in die viering van ons gemeenskaplike en deurlopende Suid Afrikaanse erfenis deur middel van vertelling. Die intensie van die projek is om die geskiedkundige belang van Westfort te beskerm, om sy toekomstige waarde te bevorder, en om kontinu?teit deur die ervaring van argitektuur bekend te stel. / Mini Dissertation (MArch (Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2016. / Architecture / MArch (Prof) / Unrestricted

This dissertation investigates the need for a change in popular perception of what an institutional building should and could look and feel like. This is achieved through the exploration of ways to create a therapeutic environment that houses a sub-acute facility which provides operational after care for patients discharged from Louis Pasteur Private Hospital in the Pretoria CBD. As well as providing for certain functional requirements, the architectural exploration aims to enrich and encourage the healing process of patients within the city with a rich mixture of stimulating and therapeutic experiences and qualities. Through the exploration and incorporation of various theories, these aims are set as an end goal not only throughout the design process, but are also used to guide the technical development and solutions that are used within the finalization of the facility. With a constant concept of creating a space for healing within the city of Pretoria, a Centre for Healing is created which holds these ideals at the core of its existence. / Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Architecture / unrestricted

The aim of this study is to show how the thoughts have been motivated for the cell penalties extension. The new law which came through 1892 meant more isolation for the prisoners. Before this law the government priority meant much more work penalty but after the law which came through 1892 meant work penalty after three years of isolation. My main conclusion of this study is that the government priority was that the work should be equally as the extension of the isolation. The law texts showed that the isolation penalty was a way to rehabilitate the prisoners so that they would be ”good” corporate citizens and for them to achieve this result the government meant that they needed isolation so that the prisoners could rehabilitate, be raised and then could get a work after the release.
