- The design of woven and knitted structures can be compared with the formation of buildings’ facades and constructions. However, textile designers do not generally participate when the exterior structure and facades of a building take shape, but rather when textiles and materials for the indoor environment are chosen, often with the intention of enhancing the acoustic qualities of spaces. In this research project, two architects and a textile designer collaborate, the latter focusing particularly on sound design. Incorporating textile designers in the early stages of building projects can lead to benefits of exploring and improving sound landscapes in outdoor environments. In order to search for and develop new approaches, methods and techniques in the field described as textile architecture, textile facade modules were designed and produced, and the design process was examined and evaluated from the points of departure of the two design fields. Questions such as ‘who is actually prototyping?’ arose, as well as the search for finding common references and concepts, both historical and contemporary, to strengthen the collaborative work. A practice-based experimental approach was important for the project and the merger of the two design fields, not least to put different textile techniques and materials to the test to examine how they can affect the sound landscape and experiences of space. The key activities in the laboratory work were technique, method, perception, stage-setting and context, which connected both to textile design and architecture. The different textile materials were chosen to comply with the requirements of external climate impact and rough outdoor environments. In groups of demarcated design experiments, the textile techniques of weaving and hand tufting were explored, and the modules were tested acoustically.

- This paper investigates the dynamic between protection of the historic environment and the application of solar energy technology on 1- or 2-family houses in Sweden. More specifically, the building code relating to the installation of photovoltaic (PV) panels on house roofs and how existing policies are implemented in Stockholm City is investigated in order to better understand the challenges in reconciling renewables and the conservation of built heritage. Especially when applied in urban areas PV panels may have a large impact on socio-cultural values, making them difficult to insta where the historic environment is to be protected from large changes. By using a mix of methods (policy analysis, case studies, and interviews) we come to the conclusion that municipalities should develop routines and guidelines that offer homeowners precise information on the potential of solar energy and requirements motivated by concern for the historic environment. Guidelines that are well-known, clear and also require homeowners to dismount exhausted panels could work both to protect built heritage and to promote more use of solar energy in some small house areas.

- Introduction: The overall objective is to understand how policies may be used to increase the potential for saving energy while simultaneously preserving cultural values in the housing stock. The project contributes to SDGs 11, 17, 5, 8 and 10.Methods: The paper summarises and discusses findings in previous research and projects led by the authors. Finally the design of a new project launched in 2020 is presented. The purpose of Energy efficiency and cultural values. How well do the policies function on the local level? is to give valuable knowledge on how the building process, advice on energy use and renovation strategies work together in Swedish municipalities.Results: Since the 1970s there has been a conflict between the preservation of architectural heritage and decreasing energy use in the Swedish housing stock. The first policy programme focussing energy saving was launched after the first global energy crisis in 1973. Since then there have been different policies addressing the issue of energy use in housing. The knowledge of how to carefully renovate existing buildings has increased, but the incentives for cutting energy use further has diminished among property managers. As a consequence, there is very little renovation aiming at energy efficiency, which challenges the national goals of lessening the impact on climate change. One problem may be an incoherent and inefficient implementation of policies dealing with the preservation and the energy use of the built environment.Conclusions: The antagonism between energy efficiency and cultural heritage that emerged in the 1970s has changed in character. Above all, increased energy efficiency seems not to be a very strong force when designing renovation projects in homes. If Agenda 2030 goals of accomplishing a well-built environment that does not require unsustainable practices to be sustained are to be reached, new policies will be required.Grant support: The research has been supported by the Swedish Energy Agency (grant #50041-1).

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper investigates how societal goals of heritage conservation and energy efficiency are handled in the management of Swedish multi-residential buildings. Interviews were made with larger owners of multi-residential stocks, and their perspectives are compared to officials at the City Planning Offices in two Swedish municipalities: Göteborg and Gotland. The questions posed are: How is heritage prioritised in relation to increased energy efficiency, climate impact and other objectives such as cost-efficiency? How important are their internal policies in comparison with external policies imposed by society? The companies express that they are proud of the heritage of their building stock, but they have not integrated heritage values in their management plans and strategies. Social issues such as safety and well-being are included, but not heritage. A consequence of this lack of systematic consideration of heritage is that measures for increased energy efficiency may conflict with conservation needs. In order for heritage values to be taken more seriously in relation to energy efficiency they would need to be integrated into such plans. The benefit from integrating heritage values in sustainable housing management is a question that should be further studied. The paper refers to SDGs 3, 11 and 13.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents experiences from a two-day teaching workshop where first year students in architecture meet with first year students in textile design for an assignment on building structures with textile, soil and plants designing for indoor gardening with the aim of inspiring for more sustainable lifestyles. The background is a research project on textile architecture with the objective of exploring this new field and to establish a platform for long-term collaboration between the disciplines of architecture and textile design. The paper addresses pedagogical challenges in the meeting between first-years students of different disciplines and traditions, but also in the meeting between research and undergraduate teaching. The students produced creative results but had difficulties in exploring the full complexity of the task. An evaluative discussion is based on observations, photo documentation, notes during group discussions, follow-up questionnaires among the students and reflections among involved researchers.

Action Research for sustainability : Co-creation overcoming fragmentation in multidisciplinary design teams
- 2020

Ingår i: IOP Conference Series. - : IOP Publishing Ltd.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sustainable transitions are challenging management and leadership in architectural practice. As means to overcome fragmentation and drive for sustainability, co-creation has become an emerging trend in construction management research and architectural practice. The early 'fuzzy' phase of projects has been identified as of great importance to integrate multidisciplinary perspectives in the design. With action research in architectural practice, three perspectives of co-creation processes were explored to achieve an integrated sustainable design. The experiences are reflected upon, in-action and in retrospect, and through the FfC framework (Framework for Co-designing), the paper contributes with new insight on success/advantage of co-creation processes for sustainable design. Such advantages include the integration of multidisciplinary competences, the creation of stakeholder value and engagement in early phase construction. Further, action research, and especially Gestalt practice and theory, brought a new relational approach to co-creation processes in early design. The architect, in the new role as 'knowledge-process designer', shifts focus towards designing interaction instead of artefacts, and thus contributes to SDG 17-Partnerships. The contribution to practice was twofold; 1) a new digital participatory design tool; 2) an innovative sustainable design solution for urban resilience supporting SDGs 11-Sustianable cities, 3-Health, and 14-Climate.

Case Torpa - en arbetsrapport inom forskningsprojektet ReBo
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rapporten är en del av forskningsprojektet “ReBo - strategier för integrerad hållbar renoveringav bostadsbestånd från folkhemsperioden”. Projektets mål är att ta fram integrerade beslutsverktygsom sammanväger kulturhistoriska, arkitektoniska och sociala värden med miljö-,tekniska och ekonomiska aspekter för att uppnå hållbar renovering. Arbetet har genomförtsi en transdisciplinär samverkansarena som förenar aktörer från industrin, akademin ochsamhället. För att få en konkret utgångspunkt i arbetet har vi studerat tre olika fall, eller Case,av bostadsområden som står inför förändring. Denna rapport dokumenterar ett av fallen, CaseTorpa. Torpa är klassat som kulturhistoriskt riksintressant. Fasaderna i gult tegel och ljus putsär enhetligt utformade och visar en stor omsorg om detaljerna. Området är uppskattat menfasaderna har fuktskador som behöver åtgärdas och byggnaderna har hög energiförbrukning.Syftet med Case Torpa var att ta fram en metod för att kunna prioritera och samordnaolika renoveringsåtgärder men också att dokumentera och testa en konceptuell modell,kallad ReBo-modellen, för att beskriva bostadsområdets olika värden inför en renovering.Metodutvecklingen genomfördes i en arbetsgrupp som representerade samverkanarenasalla kompetenser. Processen varade i strax över ett år och har innehållit fem Casemöten,flera arenaworkshops med alla partners inom ReBo-projektet, mindre möten mellan olikaaktörer samt eget arbete utfört av olika aktörer mellan Casemötena. Dokumentation avmetodutvecklingsprocessen är baserad på minnesanteckningar och ljudinspelningar frånCase möten och material som har tagits fram av projektpartners. För att testa ReBo-modellenhar data och information inhämtats från företag, litteraturstudier, internetsökningar, arkiv,kartor, statistik, driftdata, platsstudier, tekniska inventeringar, samtal och e-mail kontakter.Resultatet av metodutvecklingen är en Strategimatris som innehåller byggnadstekniska åtgärdspaketpå en axel och faktorer som påverkar vid renovering på den andra. Matrisen fungerarsom ett sätt att få överblick över vad som behöver åtgärdas och tas hänsyn till vid renovering.Som komplement utvecklades också en mall för fördjupning av åtgärdspaket som mer i detaljbeskriver hur olika aspekter såsom bevarande, miljö och hälsa påverkar och påverkas vidrenovering av ett specifikt paket av byggnadskomponenter. Resultatet av arbetet med ReBomodellenär en detaljerad nulägesbeskrivning av Torpa utifrån ett antal valda paramentrarinom områdena allmän beskrivning, teknisk beskrivning, miljöprestanda, arkitektoniskakvaliteter, sociala kvaliteter, kulturhistoriska kvaliteter, och ekonomisk prestanda. Testet visaratt och hur modellen kan tillämpas på ett bostadsområde. Rapporten avslutas med reflektionerkring Case Torpa där möjliga sätt att vidareutveckla processerna kring beslutsfattande vidrenovering och fortsatt utveckling av ReBo-modellen diskuteras.

Adaptable housing? A quantitative study of contemporary apartment layouts that have been rearranged by end-users
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Journal of Housing and the Built Environment. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1573-7772 .- 1566-4910. ; 35:2, s. 481-505

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Adaptability, that is, the capacity to accommodate future changes, is described as an intrinsic aspect of sustainable housing. Nevertheless, few studies have provided empirical evidence of what makes housing adaptable for end-users. Based on a sample of 313 modern apartments that have been rearranged by their owner-occupiers, two aspects of adaptability are subjected to a quantitative analysis based on space syntax regarding the generality or polyvalence of space and the physical factors of the floor plans that facilitate reconstructions. The results show that two form factors are linked to occupant rearrangements: the size of the living space and the fragmentation of the initial floor plan. The results spark a discussion on a lack of general use of modern apartments and the long-term sustainability of housing stocks with respect to social aspects, as well as resource use from renovation and adaptation. There is a need for the market to acknowledge residents’ motivations for rearranging their living space, which can be due to a lack of quality in the original design, limitations in choosing a suitable apartment, or as a result of changing household needs.
