Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Currently there is a mounting demand on housing providers to contribute to sustainability in residential situations and to deliver practical demonstrations and experiments in this field. One such example in Sweden has been initiated as a research based project development process by a cooperative housing association in Göteborg, Riksbyggen EF, also a major actor on national level. During a period of three years a transdisciplinary collaboration, involving Chalmers Architecture and the University of Gothenburg, a building project comprising more than a hundred flats has been defined and is now going to be built starting November 2016 at Chalmers University campus site. The collaborative project, the so called Positive Footprint Housing claims a future realization of a number of radical implementations in a design strategy of significantly raised residential resilience implemented in Brf Viva, as the name given. Examples range from a wide variety of components like sharing of electric car pool, limited parking lots, extensive application of rooftop pv-cells and electric production to the introduction of low cost starter flats for young residents and structural flexibility of apartments in addition to extensive common facilities like a winter garden for parties, meetings and plant cultivation. Efforts to create social sustainable solutions have been both procedural and substantial in character. This paper will take a critical stance towards this endeavor building upon related conducted research with insights and observations of authors from participation within this pro- cess of research informed residential projective realization. The focus has been set on unfolded and identified crucial social aspects of sustainability and related architectural residential solutions in particular of long term alterability and flexibility. Our study shows the inherent vagueness of general sustainability formulations, especially concerning social sustainability, and the importance of doing research directly in the conflicting social fabric where sustainability goals are negotiated and given a concrete significance.

- Currently there is a mounting demand on housing providers to contribute to sustainability in residential situations and to deliver practical demonstrations and experiments in this field. One such example in Sweden has been initiated as a research based project develop-ment process by a cooperative housing association in Göteborg, Riksbyggen EF, and a major actor on national level. During a period of three years a transdisciplinary collaboration, involv¬ing Chalmers Architecture and the University of Gothenburg a building project comprising more than a hundred flats has been defined now to be built within a year at Chalmers campus site. The project, the so called Positive Footprint Housing claims a future realization of a num¬ber of radical implementation in a design strategy of significantly raised residential resilience of Brf Viva, as the name given. Examples range from a wide variety of components like sharing of elec¬tric car pool, limited parking lots, extensive application of roof pv-cells and electric produc¬tion to the introduction of low cost starter flats for young residents and structural flexibility of apartments with extensive common facilities like a winter garden for parties, meetings and cultiva¬tion. Efforts to create social sustainable solutions have been both procedural and substan¬tive in character. This paper will take a critical stance towards this endeavor building upon re¬lated conducted research with insights and observations of authors from participation within this pro¬cess of research informed residential projective realization. The focus has been set on un¬folded and identified crucial social aspects of sustainability and related architectural residential solutions of alterability and flexibility. Our study shows the inherent vagueness of general sustaina¬bility formulations, especially concerning social sustainability, and the importance of doing research directly in the conflicting social fabric where sustainability goals are negotiated and given a concrete significance.

Architecture in effect : vol 1. Rethinking the social in architecture: making effects
- 2018
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Architecture in Effect presents research on the co-constitution of architecture and the social by addressing concrete problems and forwarding explorative theories and methodologies. The book compromises a wide-ranging collection of essays emerging from a multi-year research collective that has brought together partners from Sweden, the Nordic countries, the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States.The socially oriented perspective of Volume #1, Rethinking the Social, is complemented by discussions of architectural and transdisciplinary theories and methodologies in Volume #2, After Effects. Together these twin volumes reflect on topics such as the utopian idea of a welfare state, the role of intersubjective and non-human points of view, and the impact of historical and current images on the making of realities. The task of these books is to present a wide range of research topics that combine historical, material, and critical research approaches that respond to our current crises and challenges. Ultimately, this enables new modes of knowledge production within architecture to be advanced in its relation to societal transformation.

Architecture in Effect Vol #1(2) : Rethinking the Social in Architecture – Making Effects.
- 2019
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Architecture in Effect is a substantial double volume that compiles 50 essays emerging from the architectural research environment of Sweden and drawing on a complex matrix of international collaborations. A central premise of the collected research is to question the relationship between the built environment and societal norms and to interrogate architecture’s role in these co-constitutive processes. The Architecture in Effect project is concerned with how contemporary political and environmental conditions place specific demands on society and on the everyday life of individuals. Architectural researchers have the capacity to both initiate and criticize architectural production and culture amidst existing and emerging societies. Architecture in Effect is published by Actar Barcelona New York (2019). Rethinking the Social in Architecture: Making Effects Volume 01 Edited by Sten Gromark, Jennifer Mack, Roemer van Toorn That architecture serves as the setting for social actions, activities, and content is not a new idea. That the architectural project can precipitate crucial social change, even transgression, is a far more modern and disputed claim. Spatial design in society has recently shifted away from universal solutions toward satisfying specific market orientated interests. The time is now to reclaim architecture’s role in promoting political, economic, ecological, and cultural transformations. The radicality of architecture is renewed in the exploration of novel and unforeseen possibilities: making effects.

-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Architecture in Effect is a substantial collection of essays emerging from the Swedish research environment of the same name. While it takes its point of departure from within the specific context that is Sweden, it includes contributions from authors based in the Nordic context, in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States. A central premise of the collected research is that the built environment and societal norms are co-constitutive and that architecture as a discipline and as a professional practice plays a fundamental role in this relationship. Contemporary political and environmental conditions place specific demands on society and on the everyday life of individuals. There persists, as such, an obligation for actors within the discipline of architecture to contribute to a rethinking of the situated knowledges within architecture by engaging in trans-, cross-, and inter-disciplinary studies. Architectural researchers have the capacity to guide and criticize thinking on architecture and its vital material relations amidst existing and emerging societies. The socially oriented perspective of Volume #1, Rethinking the Social , is complemented by discussions of architectural and transdisciplinary theories and methodologies in Volume #2, After Effects . Together these twin volumes reflect on topics such as the utopian idea of a welfare state, the role of intersubjective and non-human points of view, and the impact of historical and current images on the making of realities – and how such themes are intertwined with the development of architecture. The collected essays draw on historical and contemporary architectural situations, as seen from socially oriented perspectives and through the use of innovative methodologies and theories. A special feature included in the collection is a heteroglossary, a lexicon that defines productive concepts for architectural research that the contributing authors activate across the two volumes. Professor Dana Cuff, UCLA, USA, has provided a perceptive foreword for the double book project. The task of these books is to present a wide range of research topics that combine historical, material, and critical research approaches that respond to our current crises and challenges. Ultimately, this enables new modes of knowledge production within architecture to be advanced in its relation to societal transformation.

Ways of residing in transformation: Interdisciplinary perspectives
- 2015
-
Book (other academic/artistic)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.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts covered in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book provides a macroeconomic overview of the state of the art in the field of housing, which reveals considerable regional or country-specific demographic, social and economic differences between the cases drawing on specific countries. It discusses the changing circumstances for the formation and study of residential preferences. The book also focuses on the culture of second homes in an affluent Norwegian society with a constantly increasing living space per person. It also discusses the social significance of conversion of centrally-located industrial heritage complexes in Tallinn. The book presents a discourse analysis of a case in Flanders, Belgium, which based on 1990s low-scale debate on the assumed dysfunctions of social rental housing. It presents critical account on the lack of diversity of offers within housing market, which is particularly notable in housing production systems based on industrialisation and standardisation.

Debate: Study Protocol: The Physical Environment and Home Healthcare Services: The Development and Content of A Study Protocol to Explore Enablers and Barriers in the Physical Environment for the Delivery of Home Healthcare Services
- 2019
-
In: Nordisk arkitekturforskning. - : SINTEF Academic Press. - 1893-5281 .- 1102-5824 .- 1236-6064. ; 31:2, s. 105-122
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Whilst home healthcare services for an aging population currently living in ordinary housing are increasingly needed, physical environments do not adequately meet current levels of demand for such services. The present study protocol, which combines qualitative and quantitative methods, was developed in order to explore the impact of architectural design on enablers and barriers in the delivery of home healthcare services. An interdisciplinary research team, drawn from the fields of architecture, healthcare, and occupational sciences, will execute the forthcoming study. This study protocol describes the design of that study, which will explore the relation between residential design and the conditions for care in ordinary housing.
