- Hospitalised patients are faced with a brute reorientation of their normal spatial needs and preferences and are forced to adjust spatially, so they start to re-arrange their own situation according to personal needs and site-specific circumstances. This re-arrangement includes material re-positioning of institutional objects and private things, but also adjusting to the presence and needs of hospital staff and other patients. Different types of spatial restraints and opportunities may emerge in this alignment with the hospital culture and thus patients’ preferences and spatial production within this environment need to be further investigated. Patients may need not only to produce a space of their own that allows subjective and intersubjective building of territories, but also to retain a certain movement of freedom in relation to the firmness of the socio-spatial programme and the architecture that exists in hospital wards. This chapter presents an investigation of patients’ socio-spatial concerns and preferences when hospitalised. The results indicate that more attention could be paid to patients’ concerns and preferences as regards spatial flexibility, reflecting the existential necessity for vagueness as an ingredient of space and the enacted experience of plasticity as the ability to give and take form. This leads on to the conclusion that applied concepts of space and the design of hospitals could take into account a more varied range of everyday space production according to those occupying the space.

Designing with Urban Sound : Exploring methods for qualitative sound analysis of the built environment
- 2019
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The licentiate thesis Designing with Urban Sound explores the constitution and qualitative characteristics of urban sonic space from a design-oriented and practice-based perspective. The act of lifting forth and illuminating the interaction between architecture, the creation of sound and a sonic experience aims to examine and develop useful tools and methods for the representation, communication and analysis of the exterior sonic environment in complex architectural spaces. The objective is to generate theoretical and practical knowledge within the field of urban sound planning and design by showing examples of different and complementary ways of communicating and analyzing sound than those which are commonly recognized.

Modalities of Place: On Polarisation and Exclusion in Concepts of Place and in Site-Specific Art
- 2003
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this thesis the notion of place is studied by way of investigating the “non-place” which is excluded or opposed, whenever a place is defined. “Non-place” is used here as a meta-concept, covering various recurring types of opposition to “place,” and it therefore represents a profoundly incoherent spect-rum of realities and concepts. Hence, a “non-place” may in this investigation appear as “leftover areas in urban planning,” as “passage,” as “site,” as “utopia,” and as “inauthentic architecture.” The study is made in relation to a set of authors and artists chosen for their influence on contemporary aesthetics of place, and for their explicitly stated dichotomies as regards architectural, geographical or social space. These dichotomies (and authors) have been studied in three parts. In Part I: Places of Preference a group of authors and artists are discussed as conveying a negative view of the modern place-forms where “placelessness” replaced a traditional and culturally dense place. In Part II: Other Places the discussion of polarised notions of place is continued, but now with authors who may be regarded as having a view of non-places as useful. Here, deviance from a normal condition is seen as a prominent theme. Finally, in Part III: The Site-Specific, the notion of place is discussed in relation to the recent historical changes of the concepts of site specificity and regionalism in art and architecture. The overall aim of the thesis is to show that when place is viewed in terms of dichotomies there is a risk of losing the perspective where social interaction, cultural multiplicity and individual activity is regarded. By focusing instead on placial variants, where the dichotomies are discus-sed in relation to a set of modalities, places may be regarded in their sociospatial and cultural diversity. The “wants,” the “needs,” the “musts,” the “wills,” i.e., the subjective or actantial influence on a spatial negotiation or an architectural realisation is then put into the foreground. To sharpen the modal approach a concentration should be held not on mere modulation of form where a house, a square or a park is given a slightly new shape, but on the significant alteration of a given comprehension, or use, of a place. This means also that several operators, on different actualising and realising levels, have to be considered when a place or a site-specific work is maintained or changed. Here, such place-formative processes have been studied as the modalities that appear in for instance exploitation, privatisation, domination and identification.

Bordering Principles and Integration in Urban Context
- 2023
-
Ingår i: field: a free journal for architecture. - 1755-0068. ; 9:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we reflect on how bordering emerge in urban integration processes in relation to two geopolitical belongings. The paper emanates from a performative dialogic event, labelled Lund Irbid Parallel Walk connecting two geopolitical regions: one in Europe through the city of Lund in the South of Sweden, and one in the Middle East that is Irbid located in the North of Jordan. Here, we reflect on key places addressed through this staged dialogic event, looking into bordering processes and their effects in and around the two cities. By addressing cultural heritage areas, official government buildings, but above all areas where newcomers have settled, or been placed within the lay-out of the two cities, we trace histories, architecture, and contestations around different bordering processes, exploring how they have been shifting, and emerging. The geopolitical belongings of Lund and Irbid, representing a division between a global North and South, show interesting local complexities as regards ways of handling housing for newcomers, especially refugees, linked to the history of neighboring relations on minor as well as major scales. In this paper we point to varying mechanisms of integration in the two cities, as regards how local border-formation appears, especially as related to architectural and urban transformation.
