Abstract Book of the 30th Workshop on Compound Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits in Europe
- 2006
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The organisers and hosts warmly welcome you to the 30th Workshop on Compound Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits in Europe, WOCSDICE 2006, at the Gullmarsstrand Hotel & Conferences in Fiskebäckskil, Sweden, May 14-17, 2006. The symposium is organised by the Chalmers Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) with the aim to create a forum where researchers can discuss latest results and trends in the field of compound semiconductor technology and related science. Established in 1973, WOCSDICE has a long-standing tradition. This workshop brings together both internationally recognised researchers and promising young scientists and engineers to disseminate state-of-the-art research findings in the areas of compound semiconductor materials, associated devices and integrated circuits. This year we have 56 papers (8 invited) divided into nine sessions and more than 78 delegates from 20 countries.Fiskebäckskil is a small restful community situated by Gullmarsfjorden opposite to the village Lysekil. Gullmarsfjorden is Sweden's only true threshold fjord, 25 km deep and 1 to 3 km broad. In the 19th century the small fishing village was transformed into a shipping society. The special wood based architecture of this time is well preserved until today. During the 20th century Fiskebäckskil, surrounded by red granite and the salty sea became a prime choice for summer recreation and swimming. The conference hotel (Gullmarsstrand) building is reverentially renovated and modernised to fulfil the highest expectations for a successful workshop.The workshop is sponsored by the Swedish Research Council (VR), the IEEE Sweden Section, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF-HSEP), Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (VINNOVA), OXFORD Plasma Technology and Agilent technologies. We would like to thank these organisations for their support. We would also like to thank everyone who helped to arrange WOCSDICE 2006: the international steering committee for advice; the local organising committee; Eva Hellberg and Peter Jönsson for all WEB support; Catharina Forssén, and Ingrid Collin for help with registrations and payments; the session chairs; and everyone who attends or contributes with a presentation.On behalf of the local organisation committee, we would like to welcome all of you and wish you a pleasant and fruitful stay in Fiskebäckskil.Welcome!Jan Stake and Jan GrahnWOCSDICE2006 Chairmen

Activism at Home. Architects Dwelling between Politics, Aesthetics, and Resistance
- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Activism at Home offers a unique study of architects’ own dwellings; homes purposely designed to express social, political, economic, and cultural critiques. Through thirty case studies by architectural scholars, this book highlights different forms of activism at home from the early twentieth century to today. The architect-led experiments in activist living discussed in this book include the dwellings of Ralph Erskine, Paulo Mendes Da Rocha, Charles Moore, Flora Ruchat-Roncati, Kiyoshi Seike, and many others. Offering candid appraisals of alternative living solutions that formulate a response to rising real estate prices, economic inequality, social alienation, and mounting environmental and cultural challenges, Activism at Home is more than a historical study; it is an appeal to architects to use the discipline’s tools to their full potential, and a plea to scholars to continue bringing architecture's activist practices into focus—whether at home or elsewhere.

AESTHETICS – THE UNEASY DIMENSION IN ARCHITECTURE
- 2016
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This anthology is the proceedings publication from the 2013 NAF Symposium "Aesthetics, the Uneasy Dimension in Architecture". Suggesting that critical discussion on aesthetics in architecture and architectural discourse has become marginalized or almost non-existent at many universities and schools of architecture, the symposium wished to address this matter and what it means to architecture and our notion of it. In a self-reflexive manner, it also wished to explore how this influences architectural research and the way architectural research is carried out in different research contexts. Editors: Anne Elisabeth Toft and Magnus Rönn Contributing authors: Jonas E. Andersson, Minna Chudoba, Hege Charlotte Faber, Ævar Hardarson, Iida Kalakoski, Magnus Rönn, Anne Elisabeth Toft and Leif Östman

Anatomy of a 21st-century sustainability project: The untold stories
- 2020
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- What does a sustainability project look like in the 21st century? Not the glossy version, but the naked truth? Tired of manicured, over-theorised accounts of the ‘musts’ and ‘shoulds’ of sustainability transitions, we got to the bottom of things; actually, to the very bottom of the project hierarchy: the individual. Our point of departure is that projects are nothing but temporarily interconnected people. This means that if we don’t know what people do and what they think about their work, we will never be able to create a deeper understanding of the project, its rationale and future impact. Making use of the autoethnographic method, this book provides critical insights into what it’s like being part of a 21st-century project. Building on unfiltered first-hand contributions from 73 authors representing the five organs of a project’s anatomy – the brain (theoreticians), the skeleton (leaders), the limbs (strategists), the heart (local stakeholders) and the lungs (researchers) – the book covers all the important aspects of contemporary project-making: (1) projectification as a societal phenomenon; (2) sustainability as the main project buzzword; (3) transdisciplinarity as a hot working method; (4) economy as the invisible project propeller; (5) space as the contextual project qualifier; (6) gender and integration as the obstinate orphans of project-making; (7) trends as the villains of thoughtless project mimicry; (8) politics as the “necessary evil” of projects; and (9) knowledge production as the cornerstone of all project work. The book ends with an extensive critical analysis of what makes a project tick and how to avoid project failure. We infer that talking about project outcomes and impacts is just that… talking. What makes a difference is what can be done to the project in itself. Three important virtues – the ABC of project-making – emanate from this book’s 40 chapters: building good relationships (Affinity), having the guts to make a change (Bravery), and showing willingness to learn (Curiosity). These are the basis for the successful execution of future sustainability projects, where complexity, unpredictability and desperation will become a staple force to recon with. The original contribution of this book is to shed light on the silent triumphs and hidden pathologies of everyday project-making in an effort to elevate individual knowledge to a level of authority for solving the wicked – yet project-infused – problems of our time.
