AHA! festival 2016
- 2016
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- For the third year, the AHA festival investigates the meeting between art and science in a three-day event at the Chalmers University of Technology hosted by the Department of Architecture and the Department of Physics. An international festival intended to provide enlightening experiences, staging surprises, new thoughts and displaced perspectives that lead to alternative modes of thinking about exploring the world through art and science. We invite scientists (physicists, historians, astronomers, engineers), artists (dancers, musicians, painters, poets, acrobats) who reside in these borderlands and wish to share their vision and work. The key intention is to celebrate both art and science as key knowledge building devices.The first year’s theme ’Embodiment’ (2014) explored the body as our anchor in the world, followed by the 2015 theme on ’Numbers’, a delightful net we cast over the world. This year's theme is ’Uni-verse,’ again a natural consequence of our interest in the relation between art and science. The elemental force that drives science as well as art is curiosity. Come be curious with us! During the festival we have chosen to divide the word universe into three: uni and "-" and verse. Uni means that something is combined into a whole. Verse means that we are turned in a direction, the origin of the word tells us that it is the plow that turns at the end of the field. And the dash "-" is all the spaces and cracks where new discoveries can grow. Art and science unfolds in the gap between what we know and what we want to know.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Framställningen koncentreras på relationen mellan mönster och rytm i arkitekturen. Analogier med musik utnyttjar begrepp som balans, rörelse, rytm och upprepning. I arkitekturen kan rytmen ses som växlingar mellan kontraster: Rum och rytm beskrivs som samspelet mellan proportioner och rörelse - proportionsrytm och sekvensrytm. Proportionsrytmen beskrivs med exempel från antiken fram till våra dagar. Sekvensrytmen illustreras med hjälp av exempel som Göteborgs konserthus och Göteborgs rådhus, båda från 1900-talets första hälft. Hantering av arkitektonisk rytm exemplifieras även av japansk arkitektur som relateras rörelse i rummet. Slutligen visas exempel på komplicerad polyrytmik i flera dimensioner tillämpad i avancerad byggnadskonst från vår egen tid.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Framtidens hållbara stad är en minst sagt het potatis. En mängd olika aktörer presenterar förslag, modeller och idéer som rör allt från problembeskrivning till lösningar. Trots alla inlägg och oavsett hur problematiken beskrivs så formuleras lösningen ofta som en relativt tät, kvarterslik stadsstruktur med aktiva bottenvåningar och levande stadsrum.Samtidigt blir frågor om lokal produktion och resurshantering allt viktigare, och lyfts som utmaningar för framtida hållbar utveckling av bland annat FN. Men hur väl går lokal produktion och levande stadsmiljö ihop?Om vi talar om ”den produktiva staden”, så följer frågan om hur vi föreställer oss staden och hur vi sätter upp ideal och mål för den. I dagsläget är den ideala stadsbilden i princip alltid fri från de komponenter som möjliggör lejonparten av den produktion vi konsumerar.

AHA! festival 2014
- 2014

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- ”Science and art” is the typical motto of a polytechnic, with the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm as a Swedish example. Only too seldom do we have occasion to ask ourselves what the words are meant to imply.The Royal Institute of Technology received its emblem in 1827. At that time, ”science” referred to theoretical knowledge, and ”art” to practical ability. Our understanding of the world around us on the one hand, our capacity to change it on the other – in both cases in a systematic or methodical fashion, and in both cases in broad generality. Today, we would rather speak of theory and practice, but the question is essentially the same: how do we go from thought to action, and how do we get back again?But the meaning of the two words was soon to change. Today, ”science” no longer refers to systematic knowledge, but rather to a highly professionalised, specialised and often technically advanced activity intended for the production of empirically secure facts. Similarly, ”art” is no longer a methodical ability, but rather a complex and autonomous activity comparable to science: the creation of images, sounds, and other forms of sensuous experience with a most immediate effect. Forms that grab hold, shake up, leave us at a loss. Experiences that make us question ourselves and the world around us.The relation between science and art has become more complex, but is just as important to attend to. Their meeting is still that of theory and practice, but also something more: a meeting of causal connections and meaningful coherences, of given conditions and unsuspected possibilities, of the order of things and our own place within it.By bringing together science and art, architecture provides an ideal playing field for such a confrontation. This is why the Department of Architecture at the Chalmers University of Technology has initiated the AHA! Festival, October 21–23, 2014 that, during three days of lectures, workshops, conversations, exhibitions, concerts, performances, and mingles, will offer thought-provoking experiences, hands-on surprises, itinerant perspectives, and savoury ideas. In this way the festival welcomes students and researches at Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg to turn the searchlight onto the relation between two different– but equally important – human activities.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The AHA festival investigates the borders between art and science in a three-day event at the Chalmers University of Technology hosted by the Department of Architecture. An international festival intended to provide enlightening experiences, staging surprises, new thoughts and displaced perspectives that lead to alternative modes of thinking about the space between art and science. We invite scientists (physicists, historians, mathematicians, medical students), artists (dancers, musicians, painters, poets, chefs) and not least architects, who reside in these borderlands and wish to share their vision and work. The key intention is to celebrate both art and science as key knowledge building devices.

Ett skepp kommer lastat...
- 2015
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ett skepp kommer lastat...: a Swedish children's game in which players recount, in accumulated succession, the imagined contents of an incoming ship. The metaphorical abundance and unknowability of the latter drove this cross-institutional, multi-disciplinary collaboration and PhD research case study which engaged with the Frölunda Kulturhus's theme of 'neighbors'. A constellation of twelve participatory workshops with children explored indirect dialogues between neighbors via architectural interfaces and perspectival reversals of researcher and subject. The project led to a three-week exhibition in the Frölunda Kulturhus's main exhibition hall and involved over 165 children and youth from three different schools.

Wild Poethics - Exploring relational and embodied practices in urban-making
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Nature is not something separated from the city. With this in mind, this research emerges from the act of urban gardening, staging space for naturecultures that reinforce a direct relation to an urban nature. Alternate agencies can motivate ecological mindsets in urban approaches, bypass the hegemonic and paralysing attitude of the Anthropocene and render a more profound relation with the spatial environment. This catalyses a potential in embodied methodologies to generate vibrant materialist relations in urban-making. The research is positioned with a two-fold challenge; urban-making and naturecultures. The aim is to reorientate methodologies in urban-making to approach relational space matters, and promote ecological poethics relevant for practice, research and education. Three thresholds of engagement structure the exploration: the embodied, the relational and the situated. Alongside explorative practices are built up cartographies of theoretical neighbourhoods that provide alternate knowledge generation on individual, shared and collective levels. Experimental embodied interventions are grounded in artistic research through choreographical approaches using Butoh, Body Weather and swarm-behaviour practices. These approaches are set in a voyage-metaphor to a fictional Island of Encounters reaching four destinations. Each encounter unravels a particular perspective into relational and embodied practice: Alba (body/curiosity), Agora (fiction/performance), Clinamen (atmosphere/imagination), and Plūris (metaphor/swarming). A methodological choreography which corresponds with the theoretical cartographies, reveals and opens up for an urban-making founded in situated knowledges to generate a corporeal poethics – poetic, politic, and ethical. As the activated practice unfolds, interventions are supported by their theoretical neighbourhoods nested in feminist spatial practice, vibrant relationscapes, worlding, affective atmospheres, imagination, spatial-temporal in-betweeness and assemblage-thinking. Accompanying each destination are five film essay(s), each pertaining to the particular artistic interventions in the research.Using corporeal imagination and re-enactment modes of enquiry such as thinking with paper modelled texts, creating fictocriticisms with clouds, using dynamic biomimesis, and mimicking swarms, generates an enlivened relation with naturecultures that gestures the body into becoming a reflective and profound membrane with space. By encountering and immersing the body in a space/time construct, a critical materiality practice emerges that can infuse urban-making, render the body a more refined medium and reactivate architectural thinking and making.

DESIGN VERSUS ECONOMY : ON PREQUALIFICATION IN DEVELOPER COMPETITIONS

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents results from a research project studying prequalification for restricted developer competitions aimed at housing in Sweden. The methodology includes an inventory of competitions, case studies, document reviews, and interviews with members in the organizers’ selection committees. The case studies comprise three restricted developer competitions in Danderyd, Nacka, and Trelleborg organized by the respective municipalities. The design teams are selected by prequalification in restricted competition. The organizer starts prequalification by inviting candidates to the competition. The organizer’s invitation contains a short description of the competition task, the aim of the competition and the conditions, submission requirements, and criteria for the evaluation of applications. The essential demands are general and based on Swedish law on public procurement. The evaluation criteria are experience-based and reflect professional merits for the competition. The three developer competitions generated a total of sixteen applications from candidates, teams of constructors, and developers in cooperation with architect firms. The lead applicant was the constructor or developer – not the architect firm. Eleven design teams were invited to the developer competitions after prequalification. Winners in developer competitions receive building permits and can implement their proposal, either by purchasing the land or acquiring the leasehold. Building costs (economy) and design quality (aesthetics) are key factors for organizers. The invited teams generally take part in the developer competitions at their own expense. This was the case for two of the competitions studied here, while in one the invited teams each received 50,000 SEK for their design proposals, which is very low compensation for design proposals as compared with architecture competitions. The organizers were pleased with the information in the candidates’ applications and the selection committees were easily able to choose teams for the competitions, which can be explained by the low number of applications. According to the selection committees, the prequalification process worked well, although the organizers had expected wider interest from the building sector and more applications from constructors and developers.
