Late quaternary environmental reconstruction and climate modelling in the winter rainfall region of the Western Cape, South Africa
… a view to improved palaeclimatic modelling. The spatial distribution of studies for the Late Quternary in the southwestern Cape is uneven and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions have been largely restricted to sites, which are easilty accessible, and appropriate only for the methods being used …

Urban envelopes : an architecture of adjacency and difference
… it is important to look at the role of boundary, spatial differentiation and the value of spatial diversity while recognizing that the city, like nature, is composed of interdependent parts. Rather than figures apart and a value of transparency over opacity, the perpetual negotiation of figure and …
