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.

Rum och rytm i arkitektur

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.

AHA! festival 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.

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.

Ljud och andra rum : Sound and other spaces
- 2014
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sound and other spaces is a book about urban sound environments, sound art, acoustic space, and spatial aspects of sound. The texts in this book comprise personal reflections on sound quality and sound awareness, sound design and audio editing, technical solutions for artistic problems, and how sound can be composed and used in architectural design and city planning. In texts and images the authors present a number of projects performed within the artistic and interdisciplinary research group Urban Sound Institute (USIT). We hope that readers will find this book handy and easy to use and that it will serve as a bridge between specialists and an interested general public.

A conversation on education
- 2018

Ingår i: Routledge Research Companion to Landscape Architecture. - : Routledge. ; , s. 324-334

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Landscape architecture today is becoming increasingly professionalized as a quasi-global profession—not least through the successful expansion of academic research efforts within the discipline. This includes the kinds of effort to which this volume as a whole contributes, and this chapter broadens our understanding of the institutional structures within which we operate. Indeed, education may be one of the most important realms for the engagement and transmission of knowledge that moves back and forth and connects practice and research in intricate ways—with the added benefit that education remains a dialogical and personal setting for exchange, not least in studio-driven design programmes. We therefore have asked significant educators from Landscape Architecture programmes in Europe and North America to reflect on the tensions and challenges the profession currently faces, and on what we can do to prepare new generations of landscape architects who are now part of the educational system or will be so in the future. Moreover, we wished to inspire a discussion of how the aesthetic and ethical dimensions of landscape architecture potentially impact on the discipline, and of the role they should play in future landscape architecture education.
