- New design methods for educating designers are needed to adapt the attributes of haptic interaction to fit the embodied experience of the users. This paper presents educationally framed aesthetic sensitizing labs: 1) a material-lab exploring the tactile and haptic structures of materials, 2) a vibrotactile-lab exploring actuators directly on the body and 3) a combined materials- and vibrotactile-lab embedded in materials. These labs were integrated in a design course that supports a non-linear design process for embodied explorative and experimental activities that feed into an emerging gestalt. A co-design process was developed in collaboration with researchers and users who developed positioning and communications systems for people with deafblindness. Conclusion: the labs helped to discern attributes of haptic interactions which supported designing scenarios and prototypes showing novel ways to understand and shape haptic interaction.

Between hemse and mästermyr craft interpretations of two archaeological findings from gotland

- The distance between Hemse church and the fields of Mästermyr on the Swedish Island of Gotland is about eight kilometers. The distance or rather the proximity between these two places is given importance in this filmed research article. In the 1930s, a farmer found a wooden chest in Mästermyr containing hundreds of forged tools and other artefacts. During a restoration of the Romanesque Hemse church in the 1890s, reused parts of a stave church were discovered in the wooden floor. The hypothetical question that is investigated in this study is whether the tools from Mästermyr were used in the construction of Hemse stave church in the early 1100’s? This filmed article analyzes and compares the traces of toolmarks in Hemse stave church and the woodworking tools from the Märstermyr finding. Through a forensic examination involving 3D scanning with structured light, 3D printing and reconstruction of tools and woodworking procedures, it is revealed that several toolmarks in the stave church correspond to the characteristics of woodworking tools in the Mästermyr find. The tool's shape, dimensions and mode of operation are traced in its negative imprint in the stave church’s oak wood. © 2021, The Assosiation FormAkademisk. All rights reserved.

Hantverksvetenskap och vetenskapligt hantverk: Om utvärdering av lärandemål i hantverksinriktad högskoleutbildning : Science in crafts and the craft of science: Craft-oriented programs in Swedish national higher education assessments
- 2019
-
Ingår i: FormAkademisk. - : OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University. - 1890-9515. ; 12:1, s. 1-14
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article concerns the Swedish national assessments of higher education during 1997 to 2015 with focus on craft-oriented programs. The research question is what happens when education with basis in a traditional craft field enter higher education, and how the national assessments affect the process of academisation? The concepts of theory and practice are used instrumentally to analyse the discourse of the national assessments. The research shows that the assessments systematically disregard the professional fields of study. The initial provision of the higher education act stating that higher education shall be grounded on proven experience and artistic practice alongside scholarship is made light of. Craft-oriented education ends up in an ambiguous position in between arts and science, on the one side the arts with a demand for artistic subjectivity and on the other side the rigor of science.

Architectural competitions I : Exploring the phenomenon of competing in architecture and urban design
- 2013
-
Ingår i: FORMakademisk. - Oslo. - 1890-9515. ; 6:4, s. 1-6
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The combination of realising buildings with such architectural care that they become high-quality architecture and the momentum of introducing a competitive phase in this creative work may strike most people as odd. However, the phenomenon dates back to the Olympic Games of Ancient Greece, where the harmony between aesthetics and architectural realisation was assessed in a public voting process.

Gold and green forests : Crafted life stories about Canadian Goldenrod and elm trees
- 2023
-
Ingår i: FORMakademisk. - : OsloMet - Storbyuniversitetet. - 1890-9515. ; 16:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sweden's fauna and flora are constantly changing. Humans have not only deliberately promoted and introduced new species in horticulture, agriculture and forestry, they have also acted as a vector for the introduction of alien species through, for example, transportation and food. When these species spread rapidly and affect biodiversity, they are deemed ‘invasive alien species’. This artistic research project explores and articulates how humans, as part of a system where nature and culture meet, affect complex functioning ecosystems through the movement of species. The starting point is the iconic elm tree and how its cultural and natural ecosystems have been wiped out in large parts of Europe by the invasive fungus Ophistoma novo ulmi. With the extinction of the elmcome ecological and cultural losses. Those losses are examined and interpreted in this work, in a dialogue with nature and with people. At the same time, another species is explored, the Canadian goldenrod, which, unlike the elm, is expanding rapidly. With these explorations, life stories about the elm will be created not only for our collective memory, but also for speculation about what happens when a new and invasive alien species, such as the Canadian goldenrod, spreads. The form of my narrative is based in materials, crafts and objects. It is primarily the objects and the process that are the carriers of the stories. As a ceramicist, I use clay as a sketching material, binder and a tool for documentation. These species, the elm and the goldenrod, constitute the materiality that are part of the exploration and creation.

Crafting Futures in Lebanese Refugee Camps : The Case of Burj El Barajneh Palestinian Camp
- 2019
-
Ingår i: FORMakademisk. - Oslo : OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University. - 1890-9515. ; 12:2

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The initiative at the Burj El Barajneh camp is run by a network of local associations, and aims at improving living conditions, services, infrastructure and livelihoods for the inhabitants. Burj el Barajneh has a large number of active associations and many highly educated professionals. However, in this kind of complex hyperdense context any kind of change needs to be carefully considered, there are no simple recipes, and existing professional expertise does not necessarily match the specific conditions of the locality. By working with collective design and collaboration between the camp's inhabitants, it becomes possible to envisage larger coordinated efforts, and to solve issues that remain blocked at an individual level.

When Wood Cladding Degenerates: Lessons on durability from traditional wood claddings after long weathering in real conditions
- 2023
-
Ingår i: FormAkademisk. - 1890-9515. ; 16:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- For several decades, the mechanisms of deterioration of wood exposed outdoors have been scrutinized to ameliorate the performance of this versatile material when used for purposes such as house cladding. The performance of cladding seems to depend highly on the durability of wood, in turn connected to water uptake, which can vary greatly. How long a cladding can function is particularly complicated to define because of its paradoxical role as a sacrificial and aesthetic layer. However, thanks to reparations and maintenance, many traditional claddings are still preserved. They have been produced and main-tained with local resources and show that low-processed wood can be durable in outdoor conditions. The contrast with modern approaches, such as wood modification or importation of durable species, raises the question: what durability of wood is concretely required for cladding purposes? The exhibition shows characteristics of wood weathered for up to hundreds of years, facilitating an understanding of the impact damage can have on the performance of cladding. The samples, issued from traditional French and Scandinavian facades, illustrate how exposure level influences degradation, confirming the role of rot and revealing the ones of erosion and abrasion in the degeneration of wood cladding. Both Alder and Pine seem to have the potential to perform naturally well as cladding for longer than it takes for the trees to regenerate. Traditions might teach us how to use local wood in a durable way if we consider biodegradation as an opportunity to build without creating waste, rather than as a threat.
