Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Sweden, cities are promoted as drivers of economic growth and solutions for decreased climatic influence, resulting in a dominant focus on development of large cities in the planning debate and sustainability discourse. As discussed by Harvey (2006), Massey (2007) and Tietjen (2011), this increases differences between growing and declining cities and regions, and escalates uneven geographic development. The process produces fragile urban landscapes, i.e. local situations short of resources, skills and mandates to handle change and deal with in-lock of sense-making structures, thereby concealing actual site specific possibilities and the potential of development of small towns and rural areas. This renders the need for new relevant planning tools with onset in a relational perspective on space (Harvey 2006, Massey 2007), urban ecologies (Guattari 1989, Banham 1971) and design-based, proformative approaches (Solà Morales 2008, Bunschoten 2001, Cuff & Sherman 2011). This article argues for key urban projects as a relational, place-specific, operative planning tool that can open and lock urban transformation, secure and guide implementation and reveal strategies to develop fragile urban landscapes, with ability to: handle centre-periphery and urban-rural as dynamic contingencies; combine the capacity of different urban ecologies; relate the formation of urban landscapes to different scales; optimise combinatory potentials of local-regional resources; secure forms of operative collaboration; trigger critical negotiations; and integrate spatial implementation to the planning process.These abilities are tested through design-based research-methodology with onset from works in progress in five Swedish contexts of practice that outline a spectrum of important characteristics of fragile urban landscapes.Key Urban Projects are identified and developed through a mapping process iterating between identification of specific issues and the outline of their relevant contours, a process that both visualize and establish assemblages (DeLanda 2006). Key Projects gain their potential through stepwise change of the existing material landscape and its urban ecologies.

Musikens rum: metaforer, ritualer, institutioner: en kulturanalytisk studie av arkitektur i och omkring musik
- 1995

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- At the intersection of architecture and musicology, with perspectives mainly of phenomenology and cultural studies, the dissertation explores relationships between music and architecture in reference to form and to the concert situation. Since the 18th Century, accelerating with the introduction of mass media, music has developed its own spatial qualities, independent of physical space. This process concurs with a strong ritualization of the musical performance, emphasizing the concert hall. The polarity between these two spatial expressions opens unto three main themes: 1. Analogies of form between music and architecture are studied in a historical overview and in three analyzed cases. Direct homologies are found between the Concert House of Gothenburg and W. A. Mozart's Symphony no. 35. Elements of city space are applied to F. Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu Op. 66, thus exploring the explicit and implicit spatialization of the music. Traces of musical inspiration in architecture is investigated through Steven Holl's Texas Stretto House and B. Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta, where many formal analogies and corresponding time-space structures can be found. 2. Altes and Neues Gewandhaus in Leipzig are analyzed as examples of the development of a bourgeoise ritual. The Concert House of Gothenburg is analyzed as ritual space, and compared to two rock arenas - Scandinavium in Gothenburg, and Globen in Stockholm. The analysis shows different spatial sequences for the transformation from everyday life to the ritual state of performance, different relationships between performers and audience, and between architectural space, scenography, and musical space. 3. The influence of architecture in the manifestation, preservation and change of a music culture is discussed in relation to the institutionalization process. Seven examples of contemporary "concert institutions" are analyzed: an anarchistic punk house, a record shop, and avant garde stage, a concert- and conference centre, a rock club and two schools of music. The issue of institutionalization leads to examples of unorthodox concert situations, which raises questions of architecture as scenography, of musical connotations to architectural space, of the dissolution of the boundaries between physical and virtual space, and back to the questions of homologies between music and architecture.

Sound and other spaces
- 2014
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The book, edited by Catharina Dyrssen, draws on coclusions from two larger artistic research project on urban sound environments, sound art, acoustic space, and spatial aspects of sound. The chapters comprise reflections on sound quality ans sound awareness, sound design and audio editing, technical solutions for artistic problems, and how sound can be composed and used in architectural and urban design. In text and images the four authors discuss a number of investigative projects performed within the artistic and interdisciplinary research group Urban Sound Institute.
