-
In: Open Design for E-very-thing.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The objective of this workshop is to create a space for synthesis and to build on the paper sessions on sustainability, with a focus on design education. What roles can designers play in the vision towards sustainability? What is required of design curricula, pedagogies, educators, academic institutions and wider partnerships to support students adopting these new or modi ed roles? The workshop aims to set an agenda for years to come and to create an ongoing ‘think and do-tank’. This interactive and action orientated workshop is led by an interdisciplinary group from the Cumulus network and the Cumulus working group for sustainability, representing European and Asian perspectives, and both theory and practice.This will be a three hour-long workshop with practical outcomes. Max: 30 participants.The workshop is structured in three consecutive sessions.1. The synthesis of insights from paper sessions & shared examples of best practices.2. The new designer roles at the intersection of curriculum, tradition and emerging socio-cultural, economic and ecological systems.3. Designing: prototypes for integrating relevant and applicable sustainability learning into the design curriculum and academic institutions.Outcome:Exhibits: 1. prototypes for sustainability learning in academic institutions and in our wider partnerships; and 2. an agenda proposal for a ‘think and do-tank’ for ongoing Cumulus conferences.

Design + change, building a new education
- 2014
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Why and how do you start a new contemporary design education? A design department in Sweden describe their process of building a new education for social change. Ups and downs are part of the process leading to several conclusions. The most important one is that if your university's strategy documents talk about social responsibility and internationalization, incorporate this strategy in the new education. Your university management may be rather surprised that you actually do what they pro- pose, but the most important aspect is that you will acquire their support.

How do we live our lives? : How do we want to live in our homes? Towards an architecture for sharing.
- 2015
-
In: A Vision of Sustainability with focus on Water. ; , s. 1-8
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- How we want to live our lives is not an individual matter; it is a collective matter. Our basic human needs are the same whether we are poor or rich and whatever the colour of our skin. The focus of this paper is how we can meet our human needs more sustainably in the context of domestic life, and how the design of future homes can support more ingenuous and convivial resource usage. Of particular importance is the notion of sharing resources. During a pilot study I used the method of shadowing to explore how individuals of different circumstances in Sweden meet their needs in the domestic setting, as well as their experiences of and thoughts on the sharing of resources. Early findings indicate that sharing needs to be easy, and that sharing with people you know is more comfortable. The research should provide insights for urban planners and architects planning new residential neighbourhoods.

Shifting Mindset : towards sustainability at Linnaeus University design programmes
- 2013
-
In: Projecting design 2012. - : Cumulus association. - 9789568901042 ; , s. 24-29
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The School of Design, part of Linnaeus University in Sweden, has been focusing on new design thinking in our education. In the Sustainability specialization within the Design Programme we have been striving to increase the awareness of sustainability concerns (environmental, social and economic) instead of being traditionally focused on aesthetics. We have developed a programme in line with the increasingly problematic world, where climate change is just one incitement for proposing attitudinal changes. The process of shifting our own and our students’ mindsets has been successful. As soon as the students come to grips with the actual situation they are more than willing to change from the romantic dreams of figuring in glossy magazines to developing new fields for their research. Design education can have an impact on society while working closely and together with society to explore what design can do. We are proud of what we have achieved and are heading for a future where the design discipline takes a leading role in transforming vital parts of our society.In my paper I will present one of the projects where the focus was on collaborating with a municipal housing company and a Swedish migration institution. It will include some of the extraordinary ideas developed by our students. My aim is to exemplify ‘design in action’, which might mean a changing and expanding view of the design of today and tomorrow. Shifting Mindset.

Ageing & ingenuity : what is your design story?
- 2013
-
In: Nordes 2013 Online proceedings. - Copenhagen : The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. - 9788778303165 ; , s. 471-472
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This collective design workshop aims to provoke and test new design approaches towards ageing. We are looking for design stories/narratives that show how design thinking and collaborative working can enable the world to respond differently to the challenges of ageing. Can designers change our inherent ageism through the engagement of older people in the design and delivery of services and products with them? Can we change our current strategies towards ageing, turning its potential challenges into opportunities to engage, empower and improve the lives of the elderly? Together, we aim to build a collective design approach with ingenious older people and for our future selves.

Oikology - Home Ecologics : a book about building and home making for permaculture and for making our home together on Earth
- 2019
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- How can we, together, make our home on Earth in a time of mass extinction, climate change and social segregation? In this book two interplaying housing crises converge. The first concerns affordable and suitable housing for groups unprioritised by the housing market: older persons, students and migrants. The second concerns our home on Earth: science gives us but a decade to avert catastrophic climate change. This book aims at both reporting on research in the project BOOST metadesign and providing hands-on advice akin to that offered in home economics classes. The book starts performing Oikology – Home ecologics, a field of knowledge and practice in times of complexity, messiness and never finished labour of making homes together within Earth’s limits. The exploration of housing development for older persons, students and migrants in a context of sustainability has been carried out during 2016–19 through processes of co-creation in urban and rural parts of Småland, southern Sweden. Metadesign has opened up for a holistic and systemic take on home making that integrates different dimensions of sustainability and moves from the small and local to the all-encompassing. This book is for people who make homes in their personal or professional lives. It imagines an overarching paradigm of home making which starts from relationships. This is exemplified through speculative scenarios, a set of cruxes to be bounced into the planning process, methods for transdisciplinary co-creation and 29 recipes for home making.
