The Ghost Boulevard
- 2020
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In 1947, Soviet architect Alexey Shchusev developed a large-scale urban renewal project for the post-war city of Chisinau, the then-capital of the SSR of Moldova. Part of the master plan was the construction of Boulevard D. Cantemir, which would cut through the city’s historic fabric. Only two sections of the boulevard were built before the project was abandoned. During the period of radical institutional political and economic shift towards a market economy in the early 1990s, initiatives to build the boulevard re-emerged through red lines, zoning documents, and planning regulations. The lack of political consensus caused planning paralyses over the city, creating a legal void where different actors competed to appropriate spaces. The power of the red lines has prompted various kinds of materializations of the boulevard. The real battle takes place in the sphere of the imaginary, and memory management is one of the main planning tools. Exploring the trajectory of the “Ghost Boulevard,” I reveal conflicting political and economic agendas and the many forces that constitute complex processes of planning today.

Solidarity Report : Two Witness Seminars on Danish and Swedish Welfare Housing in Crisis
- 2024. - 1
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report documents the conversations that occurred during two seminars, “Caring for Plans: Narratives of the Parallel Society Package”, held at the Copenhagen Architecture Festival CAFx, October 17, 2021,1 and “Solidarity in Times of Repressive Politics: A Seminar on the Effects of the Concepts ‘Particularly/Vulnerable Areas’”, held at Folkets Husby, October 15, 2022, in the Stockholm suburb of Husby.Narratives about the “failure” of large-scale housing from the postwar decades are now guiding major physical, social, and economic changes in neighborhoods all over Europe. Denmark and Sweden have long been known for their welfare-state systems and benevolent housing policies. However, in recent years, both countries have enacted new national “anti-segregation” measures that call for major physical and social changes to neighborhoods built in the 1960s and 1970s. In these processes, the opinions of local communities and residents of the neighborhoods have seldom been heard. By working with “witness seminars,” a method adopted from oral history, it is our aim to foreground residents’ perspectives and how they have enacted solidarity and collective resistance to these measures.

- Narratives about the ‘failure’ of large-scale post-World War II housing are now guiding major physical, social, and economic changes in neighborhoods all over Europe. This is true even in Denmark and Sweden, which have long been known for their welfare states and benevolent housing policies. Today, however, both countries have enacted new national anti-segregation measures that call for major physical and social changes to neighborhoods built in the postwar era, even as the opinions of local communities and residents of such neighborhoods have been only sparsely heard – if at all. By working with the method ‘witness seminars’, we – as the research collective Aktion Arkiv – foreground residents’ perspectives and their collective resistance: the effects and affects of top-down changes. While sharing their lived experiences and actions, residents say that architects and planners can ‘simply say no’ and thereby refuse to participate in these actions.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In summer 2017, we followed an invitation by Angelika Fitz and Elke Krasny to take part in the public workspace of their project Care+Repair in the Nordbahnhalle; a project connected to the Vienna Biennale and organized by the Architekturzentrum Wien (Az W). In this way, the group Action Archive from Stockholm began to collaborate with the city planner and activist Beatrice Stude from Vienna. Our work followed a joint interest in common rooms and the commons. Since 2014, Action Archive has been exploring the history and role of common rooms in Swedish welfare housing. This publication collects the notes from our ethnographic field studies of summer 2017 of newly built common rooms in the Nordbahnviertel (the Northern Railway District) in Vienna. It comprises excerpts from guided home tours and interviews with representatives of the Nordbahn district management and a non-profit housing developer. This publication serves as point of departure for a Forum Theatre piece, which deals with common rooms as a conflict area between bureaucracy and community action that is shown in connection with the exhibition Critical Care: Architecture and Urbanism for a Broken Planet (Az W, 2019).

Projecting Urban Natures : Investigating integrative approaches to urban development and nature conservation
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Projecting Urban Natures is a compilation thesis in critical studies in architecture. It comprises three journal articles and four design proposals in which I have taken an active part. The point of departure for this thesis is the renewed emphasis on social-ecological interaction and resilience that is currently taking place within ecological systems science, and the opportunities that these paradigmatic insights in turn have opened up within urbanism and design. The thesis argues that although they are promising, these emerging integrative frameworks are seldom brought into mainstream planning and urban design practice. Instead, the structuring of “nature” and “city” into a dualistic balance relationship still permeates not only the general planning discourse, but also makes its way into planning documents, notably influencing distinctions between professions. In response, this thesis sets out to rethink and explore more integrated approaches to human/nature relationships, through the utilization of design-based and transdisciplinary research methods. While this core aim of the thesis remains the same throughout the work, the task is approached from different perspectives: through different constellations of collaborative work as well as through parallel case-based explorations that emphasize the relational, anti-essentialist and situated articulation of values of urban natures and how these forces come into play. The work has been propelled through workshop-based, site-specific, and experimental design processes with professionals and researchers from the fields of e.g. systems ecology, natural resource management, political ecology, urban design, architecture, and landscape design, as well as planners, developers, local interest groups, and NGOs. Specifically, projects performed within this thesis include: Nature as an Infrastructural Potential – An Urban Strategy for Järvafältet; Kymlinge UrbanNatur together with NOD, Wingårdhs, MUST and Storylab; Årsta Urban Natures with James Corner Field Operations and Buro Happold; and Albano Resilient Campus — a collaboration between Stockholm Resilience Centre, KTH and KIT.

“You Can Simply Say No” : Narrating the effects and affects of Danish and Swedish housing in crisis
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Stigmatizing narratives are now justifying major changes to the built environment, as we see again and again in large-scale, postwar housing estates all over Europe. Negative narratives and representations support renewal and demolition projects that often do not take residents’ views into account. Whose cultures and heritage will be privileged, and based on what narratives?This is our call to action: to locate alternative means and words and stories of describing the same neighbourhoods to create a messy, yet more diverse and hopeful perspective through the missing scale of individual residents and groups' experiences.In this paper, we present residents’ own narratives – as they respond to, fight against, and reimagine recent, repressive housing policies in Sweden and Denmark. The policies claim to solve urban segregation in areas built during the 1960s and 1970s and give them the stigmatizing names ‘parallel societies’, ‘ghettos’ or ‘vulnerable areas’.

Feminist Futures of Spatial Practice : Materialisms, Activisms, Dialogues, Pedagogies, Projections
- 2017
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Architecture and the arts have long been on the forefront of socio-spatial struggles, in which equality, access, representation and expression are at stake in our cities, communities and everyday lives. Feminist spatial practices contribute substantially to new forms of activism, expanding dialogues, engaging materialisms, transforming pedagogies, and projecting alternatives. Feminist Futures of Spatial Practice traces practical tools and theoretical dimensions, as well as temporalities, emergence, histories, events, durations – and futures – of feminist practices. Authors include international practitioners, researchers, and educators, from architecture, the arts, art history, curating, cultural heritage studies, environmental sciences, futures studies, film, visual communication, design and design theory, queer, intersectional and gender studies, political sciences, sociology, and urban planning. Established as well as emerging voices write critically from within their institutions, professions, and their activist, political and personal practices. Feminist Futures of Spatial Practice deepens and broadens how we can understand and engage with different genders, bodies and peoples, diverse voices and forms of expression, alternative norms and ways of living together.

Between Technologies of Power and Notions of Solidarity : A Response to the Danish “Ghetto Plan” and Swedish “Utsatta Områden”
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Over the last decades, a significant paradigm shift about notions of solidarity as a core value of the “classless society” within Nordic welfare states has occured. Global economic shifts, climate change, and forced migration challenge earlier conceptions of the boundaries of welfare state communities. This is reflected in the rise of assimilation policies with the Swedish categorization “utsatta områden” (vulnerable areas); and in the drastic example of the Danish so-called “ghetto plan”. Officially entitled, “A Denmark without Parallel Societies – No Ghettos in 2030,” the plan applies to designated “hard ghettos” by reducing their stock of family dwellings, by enforcing mandatory childcare for families on social benefits, and by requiring longer sentences for local crimes.To support its initiatives, the “ghetto plan” uses infographics along with photographs of deteriorating concrete and children with certain words (like “vulnerable” and “reform”). In response, we study evolving notions of solidarity by closely examining documents related to the “ghetto plan” and “vulnerable areas” with particular focus on the pairings of images and words that government actors use to present statistical findings, social orientations, and spatial hierarchies. These documents are positioned as political tools connecting tech-nologies of graphic design, architecture, and planning to concepts like “parallel society,” “segregation,” and “mixed city,” often simplifying complex conditions in ways that causally link the built environment and social problems. How do images and words work in parallel to create the sense of inevitability Between Technologies of Power and Notions of Solidarity: A Response to the Danish “Ghetto Plan” and Swedish “Utsatta Områden”that underscores documents such as the “ghetto plan”? How do extreme practices of coercion and demolition become normalized when translated into visually appealing action plans? The presentation critically concludes by calling for an ontological reframing of solidarity that values, nourishes and adds to ‘what is there’.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recently, a dramatic paradigm shift in notions of solidarity has occurred within Nordic welfare states. With this transformation, the universal notion of welfare for all, which has guided numerous welfare policies in the Nordic countries since World War II, is losing ground. We study the expression of this shift in official, government-sponsored documents that support and recommend the reshaping and redefinition of social housing estates in Denmark and municipal estates in Sweden.

Resilient subjects : On building imaginary communities
- 2019. - 1st ed.
-
Ingår i: Architecture and Resilience. - London : Routledge. ; , s. 179-189
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter proposes a shift in how to understand the notion of ‘resilience’, away from common framings in terms of systems, to be reframed here rather in terms of resilient subjects. The chapter reflects on feminist tactics for building resilient networks and imagined communities (as theorised by Chandra Talpade Mohanty 2003 ) which counteract societal challenges such as political, economic and social injustice produced by global capitalism and patriarchal power structures. The chapter foregrounds three examples relevant to feminist practices in art and architecture that have built imagined communities. We discuss the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo (initiated in Buenos Aires in 1977), the activist art project The International Dinner Party (organised by artist Suzanne Lacy in 1979), and walks and research of the Precarias a la Deriva (initiated in Madrid in 2002). All three examples emanate from groups that share experiences and demonstrate an ability to connect and build up networks and communities. Drawing on Chandra Talpade Mohanty’s work on transnational feminism, we connect her concept of ‘imagined communities’ and ‘communities of resistance’ with the notion of emerging resilient subjects, which counteract representational regimes and hegemonic power relations within globalised capitalism. We aim to understand how resilient subjects, through their transgressive practices, build lasting alignments between the personal, the social, the public and the domestic.

Performance in the Swedish Building Code : An Inquiry into the Consequences for Architectural Design of the Formulation and Assessment of Performance Requirements
- 2019
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis investigates performance-based regulation in Sweden and its consequences for architectural design. In the last 50 years, there has been a transition from prescriptive to performance-based regulation, propelled by the drive to further innovation, productivity and competitiveness by expressing the functions expected of the buildings as performances. This thesis examines the promise of freedom in design and solution that this regulatory construction offers, considering two specific performance aspects of the Swedish building code: the requirements regarding energy performance in relation to user-comfort, and the requirement in terms of daylight in relation to health and hygiene. Each case investigates the implications of the performance-based system of regulation for the synesthetic and multidisciplinary process of design, focussing on how it affects the work of architects.This thesis also addresses the disciplinary knowledge necessary for assessing performance requirements, which in turn connects to the entry into building regulation of abstract natural science models quantifying societal goals in legislation, and to the disciplinary histories of the engineering and architectural professions.Speculating on ways forward that address the concerns that emerge from this analysis, the thesis turns to a historical example that dealt with a similar problem to evaluate its potential for developing current architectural practice. The dual nature of design, reaching into both expressional and technical concerns, has been the subject of research and eloquent discussion within the architectural concept of tectonics. The concluding section of this thesis raises questions about the architectural discourse in relation to tectonics. It suggests that there is work to be done to reconcile the division between architectural design and technical characteristics connected to building physics that permeates systems of building regulation in Sweden and more generally. The thesis suggests that if performance-based regulation is to offer freedom in architectural design, the architecture community needs to be much more involved in both the research and critique of performance requirements and of their formulation and assessment methods when addressing this.

Changing ways of being in common
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The changing ways of being together: From collective to common spaces in welfare housing Many European versions of the welfare state (such as the Swedish model) included, on their smallest level, an infrastructure of “common spaces” in communal housing estates for tenants to meet, and organize themselves politically. Governmental planning saw them as important to the “democratic citizen”. Common spaces were one element of nationwide spatial and organizational structures to foster biopolitical governing and to reproduce the welfare society. This round table discussion explores common spaces as a spatio-social concept inspired by the commons, as studied by the political economist Elinor Ostrom. We argue that common spaces have been fundamental to the welfare state until its neoliberalization in the early 1990s, and that the divorce of the spatial dimension from the bureaucratic apparatus has contributed to its demise. Elinor Ostrom conducted field studies on how local communities self-organize for managing shared natural resources, and how, over time, economically and ecologically sustainable rules were established. The concept of the commons and the welfare state model agree in some basic ideas but not in all. Both envision provision for the individual’s existential needs within the framework of collective rules, however, Ostrom’s commons depart in one crucial point from the welfare state ideal – her principle of the commons required the exclusion of unentitled parties. Michal Hardt and Jacques Rancière suggest the common as a field of the sensible and perceptible, a field in which political recognition and decision-making takes place. Sensibilities and imaginaries of the common were embedded in the technocracy of the welfare state. Is it possible to regard the early welfare state as a conceptual framework for discussing networks of care for the future? This round table discussion proposes the welfare state model as a laboratory for exploring different modes of the common, from material spatiality, imaginaries of the political, to hands-on decision-making, policies and regulations.

Sharing and Space-Commoning Knowledge Through Urban Living Labs Across Different European Cities
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Urban Planning. - Lisbon, Portugal : Cogitatio. - 2183-7635. ; 7:3
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- While the growing commodification of housing and public spaces in European cities is producing urban inequalities affect‐ing mostly migrant and vulnerable populations, there are also manifold small‐scale neighbourhood‐based collaborative processes that seek to co‐produce shared urban resources and contribute to more resilient urban developments. As part of the ProSHARE research project that investigates conditions in which sharing takes place and can be expanded to less‐represented populations, we focus here on sharing and space‐commoning practices within urban living labs. Considered multi‐stakeholders sites for innovation, testing, and learning with a strong urban transformative potential, urban living labs have received increasing academic attention in recent years. However, questions related to whether and how labs facilitate processes of exchange and negotiation of knowledge claims and generate spatial knowledge remain largely unexplored. We address this gap by looking at the role urban living labs play in the regeneration of neighbour‐hoods, asking how sharing and space‐commoning practices generate situated spatial knowledge(s) that can be used in planning processes, and what type of settings and methods can facilitate such processes. These questions are addressed in the context of four ProSHARE‐Labs located in Berlin, Paris (Bagneux), London, and Vienna, drawing on a cross‐case ana‐lysis of the functioning of these hubs, the research methods applied in each context, and on the translocal learning and possibilities for upscaling resulting from these parallel experiences.

Children’s Rights to Mobility in the City : Paying Attention to Children’s Spatial Knowledge
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Design for Inclusivity. - Berlin : Springer Nature. ; , s. 529-533, s. 529-533
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Children and young people are among the most disadvantaged groups when it comes to the possibility to move around in the city freely. They are actors with both rights and specific needs who often cannot take part in offers for young people across different urban districts, which tend to be segregated along spatial, socioeconomic, and ethnic boundaries with different infrastructural options leading to unequal opportunities for learning. Extending from a participatory workshop on cultural commons, in physical and digital space, with a group of youths, in summer 2021, this paper discusses children’s mobility patterns and mobility consumption processes in the greater Stockholm area through an accidental e-scooter experience and a method we call “following”. The study foregrounds the necessity for learning how to access and handle both physical and virtual space, in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals 4, Ensure inclusive and equitable education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all; SDG 10, Reduce inequality within and among countries; SDG 11, Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable; and SDG 12, Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
