- Within contemporary architecture and urbanism there is marked interest in urban commons. This paper explores the creation of temporary urban commons, or, more specifically, what can be called ‘open-source urbanism’. Citing two practices – urban commons initiated by Atelier d’architecture autogérée in Paris, and Park(ing) Day initiated by San Francisco-based Rebar – I argue that these practices can be understood as open-source urbanism since their initiators act as open-source programmers, constructing practice manuals to be freely copied, used, developed and shared, thus producing self-managed commons. Although this tradition of ‘commoning’ is not new, it is currently being reinvented with the use of digital technologies. Combining Elinor Ostrom’s analysis of self-managed natural resource commons with Yochai Benkler’s assertion that commons-based peer production constitutes a ‘third mode of production’ that lies beyond capitalism, socialism and their blends, I argue that open-source urbanism critiques both government and privately-led urban development by advancing a form of postcapitalist urbanism.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Over the years, colleagues at the Architecture School of Stockholm have developed a most remarkable and inspiring approach to architecture and writing in terms of performances and the performative while integrating feminist and queer theory. Of particular interest are the Critical Studies in Architecture group, the group Fatale for feminist architecture theory and practice, and the Mycket collaboration. By way of an interview between Footprint editors Dirk van den Heuvel and Robert Gorny, and the Stockholm colleagues Brady Burroughs, Katarina Bonnevier, Katja Grillner, and Hélène Frichot questions of pedagogy, research and methodology are further investigated, how to ‘stay with the trouble’ and where to situate newly emerging knowledge models.

Thesis-building : Architecture, alchemy and the constructive moment(s) of a doctoral dissertation
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Footprint. - 1875-1504 .- 1875-1490. ; 10, s. 165-182
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper looks back at the long and sometimes difficult process of doing a 'PhD'. It asks how certain 'moments' in the building of a doctoral thesis - moments of conception, of discovery, of despair, of truth, of revelation and of jouissance - inform the building of a thesis. By revisiting these moments, the paper traces the genesis of the author's thesis on Architecture and Alchemy and explores the metaphor of construction encountered in the work of cultural theorist Walter Benjamin. Drawing on some of the historical sources of the thesis, in particular the emblem books of seventeenth-century alchemist Michael Maier (1568-1622), the paper argues that the above-named 'moments' in a PhD constitute an ensemble of impassioned investment, which can be known as the PhD-pathos. This paper, then, can be read as no more, or less, than a pathological guide to the PhD, where architecture and alchemy come into play as polar opposites in the process of construction and change that thesis-building is.

An antipodean imaginary for architecture+philosophy : Ficto-critical approaches to design practice research
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Footprint. - 1875-1504 .- 1875-1490. ; 10, s. 69-96
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This is a collaborative essay that presents the design practice research of six postgraduate researchers (past and present), who have been working within the Architecture+Philosophy research stream at the School of Architecture, RMIT University, Melbourne. What unites the projects is an aspiration to maintain a creative relationship between architectural design project research and critical theory, with an emphasis on transdisciplinary potentialities. While the design research introduced here is diverse, the researchers all share an engagement in how to construct imaginary worlds using what can be identified as a ficto-critical approach that draws on the productive intersection of architecture and philosophy. Hélène Frichot, who will situate this research from her position as their primary doctoral advisor, argues that by pursuing a productive relay between theory and practice a novel Antipodean design imaginary can be seen to emerge across the collected projects.

The importance of recognition for equal representation in participatory processes : Lessons from Husby
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Footprint. - 1875-1504 .- 1875-1490. ; :13, s. 81-98
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Despite the ambition to involve people on more equal terms, participation often still means that the audience is involved in clearly demarcated parts of the process and attempts to develop more deliberative democratic processes in urban planning often fail due to unequal representation in the participatory process. While sharing the general idea of the value of participatory processes, we will investigate some problematic features involved and suggest how some of these can be remedied. We employ the concept of recognition to analyse the conditions for public participation in a recent case of urban planning in the Stockholm suburb of Husby. This case is particularly interesting as it clearly demonstrates the impact of globalisation on local participatory processes. The results show the importance of broad recognition for equal representation in participatory processes, and the need for a plurality of public spheres to support long-term participation in the development of the common urban space.

Citizens as Knowledge Producers in Urban Change: Can Participation Change Procedures and Systems?
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Footprint. - 1875-1504 .- 1875-1490. ; 7:2, s. 131-142
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the article is to understand more about the potentials of citizen participation in planning. The research project in focus was conducted in a stigmatized Swedish context and was participatory in approach, including local interaction activities, case-based participant observation and key informant interviews. The project aim was to develop knowledge about the interplay between top-down invitations for dialogue and bottom-up citizen initiatives. Two cases are discussed in relation to previous research on participation. The participatory process was shown to influence how ‘socially responsible public procurement’ of a construction project was carried out, and hence the article concludes that citizen participation in design can influence systems and procedures. The question of how such knowledge and awareness can develop the planning profession ends the article.

The Digitalisation of Swedish Housing : The First Forty Years

- So called ‘smart’ built environments operate in a peculiar temporal nexus: they are simultaneously just around the corner, already here, and yesterday’s news. This is usually put down to hype and hyperbole, but it may well be argued that smart built environments do indeed exist across temporal dimensions – only not in the way we imagine them to.Instead of speaking of a digital turn in housing, we would be better served by employing the plural: digital turns. In fact, once we begin to unravel the history of how the idea of what we today call smart technology has been implemented in multi-household rental dwellings since the early 1980s, a pattern emerges.The article charts how landlords and others have placed smart devices that monitor, encourage or discipline tenants to behave in certain ways. This is a parallel story to the dream of a leisure-centred technology-enabled house of the future. This parallel story is darker and centres on the transformation of the dwelling through its digitalisation.

Mediated Windows : The Use of Framing and Transparency in Designing for Presence
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Footprint Journal - Digitally Driven Architecture. - Delft : TU Delft. - 1875-1504. ; :6, s. 69-92
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores the fusion of architecture and media technology that facilitates collaborative practices across spatial extensions: video-mediated spaces. The example presented is a mediated extension of the Museum of National Antiquities in Stockholm to a neighbouring park area and archaeological excavation site in 2008, referred to as a mediated window, or a glass-door.The concepts framing and transparency are used to outline the significance of windows and glazing in architecture and art. The author then considers the potential contribution of architecture in representing the passage from indoors to outdoors and designing for presence. Presence design assumes a contribution from architects to presence research, a currently diversified field, spanning media space research, cognitive science, interaction design, ubiquitous computing, second order cybernetics, and computer-supported collaborative work, but in which architecture and artistic practices are less represented. The paper thereby addresses the potential of an extended architectural practice, which incorporates the design of mediated spaces, and outlines presence design as a transdisciplinary practice in which presence research meets architectural design, and spatial and aesthetic conceptual tools, derived from related visual practices, may be productively applied.

Science for architecture : Designing architectural research in post-war Sweden
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Footprint. - 1875-1504. ; 10, s. 97-112
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- How did architectural research in Sweden become scientific in its approach rather than artistic, as architecture education in the post-war period was primarily influenced by the Bauhaus pedagogy? Via the American Bauhaus pedagogical developments taking place at the IIT and the GSD, Swedish architecture education adopted the artistic 'learning by doing' approach. The most interesting structure signifying this was a permanent exhibition of building materials located in the foreground of the 1957 KTH architecture school. When the new KTH architecture school was completed its architecture illustrated another image: that of the new architecture curriculum, A68, put into practice the same year as the building was designed. A68 reorganized architecture education and put more focus on environmental studies and building function analysis. The new curriculum included the subjects Formlära, Design Principles, and Byggnadsfunktionslära, Building Function Analysis, which were technical in their approach of using empirical research. As a result, the 1969 KTH architecture building included a laboratory for testing technical problems in air-conditioned spaces as well as a laboratory for testing acoustics. The 1961 LTH architecture building included a full-scale-laboratory where studies were directed by Carin Boalt, the first female professor at a technical university.

On the Critical Strip of the Riemann zeta Fractional derivative
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Fundamenta Informaticae. - 0169-2968 .- 1875-8681. ; 151, s. 459-472
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The fractional derivative of the Dirichlet eta function is computed in order to investigate the behavior of the fractional derivative of the Riemann zeta function on the critical strip. Its convergence is studied. In particular, its half-plane of convergence gives the possibility to better understand the fractional derivative of the Riemann zeta function and its critical strip. As an application, two signal processing networks, corresponding to the fractional derivative of the eta function and to its Fourier transform, respectively, are shortly described.

Bibliometric author evaluation through linear regression on the coauthor network
- 2017

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The rising trend of coauthored academic works obscures the credit assignment that is the basis for decisions of funding and career advancements. In this paper, a simple model based on the assumption of an unvarying “author ability” is introduced. With this assumption, the weight of author contributions to a body of coauthored work can be statistically estimated. The method is tested on a set of some more than five-hundred authors in a coauthor network from the CiteSeerX database. The ranking obtained agrees fairly well with that given by total fractional citation counts for an author, but noticeable differences exist.
