Swedish Modernism : Architecture, Consumption, and the Welfare State
- 2010
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Swedish Modernism provides an in-depth, multilayered account of the process, and difficulties found, in the process of modernization. The debate is enriched from a diverse range of contributors including architects, researchers and leading academics from across the globe. Following an introduction from Helena Mattsson and Sven-Olov Wallenstein, the book is divided thematically into three sections. The first section of the book explores the construction of the welfare state. The contributions in this section analyze the peculiar modalities of this development from the point of view of sociology and political science, providing a more nuanced view of ‘Modernism’ that shows to what extent it must always be understood on the basis of local context. Here, Henrik Berggren argues that the social contract has deep roots in Swedish political culture and social philosophy as it evolved during the nineteenth century whilst text from Yvonne Hirman deals with the formation of Swedish politics in the 1930s. This section also includes an essay from Jens Bartelson, Professor of International Relations at the Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen.The second section of Swedish Modernism delves into the importance of consumers and spectacles analyzed in relation to the wide range of ‘state programs’ from housing to national marketing programs. This section includes case studies highlighting the importance of consumption for the formation of subjectivity, both in the pre- and post-war period, and range from analyses of exhibition architectures and debates on standardization to the Co-Op movement and the gendering of taste. Contributions to the second section of the book include an essay from Ylva Habel looking at the exhibition Modern Leisure, 1936, and exploring how exhibitions were highly instrumental during the formation of the Swedish welfare state. Helena Mattsson looks at how strategies of consumption are formulated in the political and architectural debates of the 1930s, tracing how the emergence of ideas of standardization and personality worked as a mediator between individual and society in the process of constructing the new subject of the welfare state. Reinhold Martin’s essay “Mass Customization: Consumers and Other Subjects” outlines, in historical perspective, developments in post-war corporate architecture related to emergent “technologies of the self” that have become known as “mass customization”. Further essays from Lisa Brunnstrom, Thordis Arrhenus and Penny Sparke also provide valuable insights into the role of architecture in the Swedish Co-operative movement, the role of architectural exhibitions in the promotion of societal models and the modulation of cultural identity and the subject of production and consumption of the domestic interior, respectfully. The third and final section of the book deals with the problem of historiography on a broad level. Eva Rudberg asks “What is the Question to which Functionalism is the Answer?” whilst Joan Ockman explores the paradigm shift that occurred following the Second World War and in the context of the Cold War. The section also includes contributions from Roger Jonsson and Sven-Olov Wallenstein, who draw on the work of Michel Foucault and delineate a genealogical model of analysis that focuses on how architecture can take part in the production of subjectivity.

Rome and the guidebook tradition : from the Middle Ages to the 20th century
- 2019
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Almost everyone has used a guidebook, when travelling or in the armchair at home. But how and when was the guidebook born? In this book, seven scholars from various disciplines argue that the guidebook emerged in Rome in the late Middle Ages, to form a surprisingly consistent model for guidebooks up to our time. The descriptions of must-see monuments, recommended routes, practical information and value-laden instructions have guided travellers to Rome through more than 1000 years.

Planning for human diversity : design patterns of Universal Design
- 2022

Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Architectural Research. - : SINTEF Academic Press. ; 34:2, s. 75-104
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ensuring the conditions for an inclusive society in the face of humandiversity places various demands on the built environment. Planning isessential for accommodating a wide range of individual preferences andabilities.This article examines the presence and absence of Universal Design (UD)in contemporary urban planning and construction in eight new or remodelledSwedish building and public space projects. The projects werestudied in-situ and via documentation from the planning and buildingprocess.The findings show two ways in which UD is present. The first is a patternwhere people are not separated from each other, whilst the secondis a pattern of facilitating equal use by placing low demands on users’abilities. It was revealed that UD was implemented more in remodellingprojects than in new constructions, which instead created new inequalitiesthrough categorisations of users and high demands on users’ abilities.They were also linked to an imbalance between green and socialsustainability.We argue that a change of mindset is pivotal for implementing UD.Human diversity must be a consideration throughout planning andbuilding processes, and creating a sustainable society requires UD. Thisarticle contributes new knowledge regarding patterns characterisingsuch a mindshift.

Architecure and the Critical Project

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Manfredo Tafuri’s work remains a key reference for the idea of a critical theory of architecture. Starting out from the basic intuition that architecture is fundamentally incapable of solving the contradictions that it addresses, he proposes to undertake a critique of architectural ideology. The nature of his analysis of architecture’s inherent contradiction will shift, from the dialectic of city and nature, subjectivity, and “Plan,” in the early work, to the multiple forces that in the later work finally make the very idea of contradiction tenuous, and instead necessitate a plurality of approaches that only with great difficulty can be brought into a dialectical matrix. This development, I suggest, can be taken as a staging of the inner tension in the very idea of critique and critical theory.
