- This paper addresses the question of the nature and the forces behind emerging modern ways of residing asdemonstrated on a specific situation of re-invention of cultural heritage within a process of gentrification. Focusing on constructions of urban identities and their manifestations in residential architecture our explorative inquiry intends to widen the understanding of the becoming of symbolic capital informing identity building upon interrelated individual personalized aspirations for desired life quality in residential situations and that of singular architectural inventions. The methodological profile for this research is the application of trans-disciplinary analysis of social and architecturalpractices drawing primarily on the ontological views of social physical duality informing creative principles of social constructivist epistemology. By applying qualitative research methods, combining architectural interpretative observation with in depth interviewing the paper attempts to unfold aspects of residential identity building within the subtlety of intertwined relations forming between resident perceptions and architect conceptions.

- The Becoming of Residential Identities: A Case of Residential Resilience - Bois le Prêtre, Paris, 2012This paper is focused on the general topic of dynamic interrelations between architectural and social change and puts special attention to these aspects within the field of extreme urban residential situations characterised by radical spatial transgression and resident's profound processes of identification. It will try to re-situate the potentially critical role of urban architectural interventions in situations of profound cultural and social alterations. This research is dedicated to the combined architectural sociological analysis on ‘The Becoming of Residential Identities’ as empirical and conceptual explorations on contemporary residential situations focused on the reciprocal dynamic between social reality and architectural projections or alterations departing primarily from a Bourdieu elaborated perspective on cultural change related to symbolic capital; on visual and symbolic quality consumption. The paper will present a preliminary assessment and qualitative analysis of the 2012 finalised refurbishment project Bois-le-Prêtre in Paris as an important attempt at rethinking the social in architecture that has attracted much attention. These considerations are based on interviews with key project authors and possibly with inhabitants on site. This tower block, built 1959-60, consists of 17 levels, 96 housing units. To the existing 8 036 m2 a 3 348 m2 was added. The result is energy reduction due to the insulating facade extensions with added winter garden and balcony with renewed communication structure enabling full access for the handicapped. All this was added for no extra charge on the rent. As surplus added value the circulation patterns within the apartments have been enriched due to these external spatial extensions. Significantly, the project is developed with inhabitants predominantly staying in the building during construction works with only a short two-week displacement, which as an experience of the renewal process and later adaptation to the new conditions is a focus of residents’ biographical study. Confronted with images from the pre-existing flat usage before reconstruction it becomes evident how this drastic projected structural as well as symbolic change offers an opportunity for a spatial act of liberation.

Ways of residing in transformation: Interdisciplinary perspectives
- 2015
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Profound transformations in residential practices are emerging in Europe as well as throughout the urban world. They can be observed in the unfolding diversity of residential architecture and spatially restructured cities. The complexity of urban and societal processes behind these changes requires new research approaches in order to fully grasp the significant changes in citizens’ lifestyles, their residential preferences, capacities and future opportunities for implementing resilient residential practices. The international case studies in this book examine why ways of residing have changed as well as the meaning and the significance of the social, economic, political, cultural and symbolic contexts. The volume brings together an interdisciplinary range of perspectives to reflect specifically upon the dynamic exchange between evolving ways of residing and professional practices in the fields of architecture and design, planning, policy-making, facilities management, property and market. In doing so, it provides a resourceful basis for further inquiries seeking an understanding of ways of residing in transformation as a reflection of diversifying residential cultures. This book will offer insights of interest to academics, policy-makers and professionals as well as students of urban studies, sociology, architecture, housing, planning, business and economics, engineering and facilities management.
