In the slave
quarters at the new settlement of Cape of Good Hope, a settlement founded by
van Riebeeck for the Dutch East India Company, the Slave quarters show a simple
U shaped building surrounding a courtyard. It is placed next to the Church near
the centre of town. But whereas all other buildings show a careful modulation
to purpose and function, this one exhibits mere space, undifferentiated space.
The Negro yard in
Kingston is a similarly socially undifferentiated storage space.
