Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The AIDAH research project has been built upon the basic assumption that, confronted with the major challenges that societies face in terms of housing needs, an ageing population and radically changing healthcare conditions, architectural interventions must be inventive, audacious and explorative in their approaches. At the foreground of our work has therefore been the notion of a health promoting architecture. Today's solutions must incorporate and enable the potential opportunities and the still unknown needs and desires of tomorrow. For one thing, this is reflected in today’s comprehensive requirements for social sustainability; the built environment should last for a long time and serve a vast variety of needs, securing longevity and persistence. AIDAH has worked a lot on the foundation of the evidence-based knowledge that has developed during the last decades, concerning architecture's potential for health promotion, wellbeing and stress reduction.

Social sustainability in residential solutions

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.

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.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Architecture for Residential Care and Ageing Communities confronts urgent architectural design challenges within residential innovation, ageing communities and healthcare environments. The increasing and diversified demands on the housing market today call for alterability and adaptability in long term solutions for new integrated ways of residing. Meanwhile, an accentuated ageing society requires new residential ways of living, combining dignity, independence and appropriate care. Concurrently, profound changes in technical conditions for home healthcare require rethinking healing environments. This edited collection explores the dynamics between these integrated architectural and caring developments and intends to envision reconfigured environmental design patterns that can significantly enhance new forms of welfare and ultimately, an improved quality of life. This book identifies, presents, and articulates new qualities in designs, in caring processes, and healing atmospheres, thereby providing operational knowledge developed in close collaboration with academics, actors and stakeholders in architecture, design, and healthcare. This is an ideal read for those interested in health promotive situations of dwelling, ageing and caring.
