Architectural competitions I : Exploring the phenomenon of competing in architecture and urban design

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.

Mellan skrå och profession : Om de svenska arkitekt- och ingenjörsutbildningarnas framväxt och hur ett dominerande kunskapsideal har tagit form
- 2010
-
Ingår i: FORMakademisk. - 1890-9515. ; 3:2, s. 26-38
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I denna artikel kommer utvecklingen från skråväsendets upplösning till de moderna arkitekt- och ingenjörsprofessionernas framväxt i slutet av 1800-talet att tecknas. I fokus för den i huvudsak empiriska framställningen står utvecklingen av det utbildningssystem som än i dag i hög grad bildar utgångspunkt för arkitekters och ingenjörers professionella identiteter. En teoretisk utgångspunkt hämtas från Foucault och föreställningen att makt och vetande förutsätter varandra. Med ett brett angreppssätt identifieras sedan ett antal yttre händelser som har bidragit till att producera ett tekniskt-vetenskapligt kunskapsideal. Detta kunskapsideal finns institutionaliserat i dagens utbildningssystem och fortsätter därigenom att produ-cera fältet av möjliga handlingar för arkitekter i dag.

Bokanmeldelse: Mikkel B Tin (2011) Spilleregler og spillerom. Tradisjonens estetikk
- 2012

Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Mikkel B. Tin intresserer seg for estetiske dimensjoner i kunsten generelt og i folkekunsten spesielt. I boken Spilleregler og spillerom belyser han de skapende prosesser som drives fram av individets estetiske og håndverksmessige forhold til tradisjonelle håndverk og formspråk. Hans mål har vært å undersøke tradisjonen og kunsten i deres møtepunkt, et møtepunkt han kaller tradisjonens estetikk. Som bokens tittel signaliserer finnes det i denne sammenheng noen rammer å forholde seg til; spilleregler, men også en individuell frihet vi alle forventer oss at kunstutøvere må ha; spillerom. Boken gir mange empiriske eksempel på hvordan ulike utøvere forholder seg til tradisjonen. Ved gjenstandsanalyser og intervjuer studeres den tjekkiske kunstneren Tomás Smetanas tegninger, broderte kraver fra Øst-Telemark, utskårne mønster på treportaler i Romania, håndklær fra Ukraina og ståltrådsarbeider fra Slovakia. Til slutt behandles spilleregler og spillerom for grafitti, også her med et internasjonalt perspektiv. Boken inneholder et rikt bildemateriale, beskrivelser av variasjon i mønster, farge- og materialbruk i ulike arbeider, samt lokalt og internasjonalt sammenlignende analyse av disse arbeidene. Jeg finner boken interessant fordi Tin dreier diskusjonen bort fra at det å ta utgangspunkt i tradisjonens håndverk klassifiseres som kopiering og derfor ikke bidrar til utvikling av individets skapende evner. Han peker på hvordan tradisjonelle uttrykk i ulike materialer både kan lære oss noe og åpne for utvikling av egne uttrykk. Å ta opp en tradisjon betyr ikke å kopiere den, men å spille sammen med andre innen et visst spillerom der individets egne erfaringer påvirker det estetiske resultatet, er Tins budskap. Jeg forstår godt – og liker – assosiasjonen til kort- eller brikkespill der man jo tar utgangspunkt i et sett regler. Hvilke trekk man gjør eller kort man legger avhenger likevel av den aktuelle situasjonen og hvordan de andre spiller, men også hvilke erfaringer man har fra andre ganger man har deltatt i spillet. I Tins empiriske materiale inngår også eksempel der f.eks. spesielle tekstiler inngår i en seremoni – der spillerommet også er et skuespill!Til slutt vil jeg gjerne fremheve rutenettet Tin har satt på sine empiriske studier når han siterer Kant, Merleau-Ponty, Gadamer og Husserl. Med hjelp av de tre sistnevnte, påpeker Tin at tradisjonen, noe som betyr overføring, er ikke en gitt – det er alltid opp til oss å bære den videre. I bokens ånd, tolker jeg at det er opp til oss å bestemme hvilket spill vi ønsker å spille. Boken Spilleregler og spillerom. Tradisjonens estetikk handler om tradisjon, estetikk og kroppslige opplevelser av håndverk. Boken er en interessant kilde for konkrete og filosofiske diskusjoner om tradisjon som inspirasjon.

Furniture Design beyond Usability. Changes for People in the Third Age when Moving to a New Home.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- User-centred design approaches within the field of furniture design for old people involves an act of embracing and balancing various end-user needs and assessing their relative importance for the product experience. It is often assumed that older people’s physiological needs dominate their other needs. In the present study, three focus group interviews were carried out with the exploratory purpose of gaining an understanding of how people feel and think about changes when moving to and living in an apartment in senior housing, outside the housing market, and what impact this has on their opinions of furniture and other interior products. Twelve people aged 59–93 took part. The outcomes of the focus group interviews point to demands on products that support the physical, psychological and social changes that relocation and aging may bring, and correspond to an independent and self-determinant identity. User requirements related to usability and affective product experience for the design of totally new or improved products are proposed. The paper discusses the complexity in the research assignment to communicate and bring end-user knowledge and experiences to life, and suggests that designers will benefit from carrying out or being involved in user-centred research.

Doctorateness in Design Disciplines. Negotiating Connoisseurship and Criticism in Practice-related Fields
- 2012
-
Ingår i: FORMakademisk. - 1890-9515. ; 5:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Discussions on the concept of ‘doctorateness’ have been growing during last years in traditional academic disciplines as well as in creative fields. This paper is a brief report from the first stage of a research project which studies how the concept of ‘doctorateness’ could be considered in the field of architecture, design and arts. The project builds upon a series of doctoral courses for architects and designers, and includes the study and evaluation of already accepted doctoral theses. In analyses of assessment assignments, the ‘connoisseurship model’ of Elliot W. Eisner was found to be useful. Eisner’s model of Connoisseurship & Criticism has served as the main tool for the analyses of empirical data, and as a framework for developing the concept of ‘doctorateness’ further. From the first phase of studies in the research project, the importance of particular kinds of awareness can be stressed as crucial for ‘doctorateness’, and here the model of connoisseurship and criticism has been operative. A more elaborate definition of ‘doctorateness’ is presumed to be of use as a pedagogical tool in research education in design fields as well as in dialogues between professionals of design practice and research.
