  1. 1. Utopology : A Re-Interrogation of the Utopian in Architecture

    Author : Fredrik Torisson; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Utopia; Architecture; Networks; Architect; Arboraphobia; Anticipation; Media; Monsters;

    Abstract : Utopia – the word is simultaneously evocative of hope and dread. As a concept it is stupendously problematic, and yet despite its alleged passing into irrelevance, utopia still remains a household word. Why is this so?Utopia has been reduced to a category. We place a solution in the category of the utopian or, conversely, the not-utopian. READ MORE

  2. 2. Transcalar Design : biological principles in architecture through computational design and additive fabrication

    Author : Ana Goidea; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; architecture; additive manufacturing 3D printing ; additive manufacturing; biotechnology; Biofabrication; biodesign; generative design;

    Abstract : Architecture is currently facing a period of transformational change which is driven by an increasing awareness of sustainability imperatives combined with technological advancements in the form of digitalisation of design and fabrication processes. These issues both introduce new layers of complexity and necessitate strategies to navigate them. READ MORE

  3. 3. Spatiality of Multiculturalism

    Author : Mohammad Sarraf; Lars Marcus; Mattias Kärrholm; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; spatial form; multiculturalism; ‘civility of indifference’; co-presence; multiplicity; overlapping spaces; ‘together-in-difference’.; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis; Architecture; Arkitektur;

    Abstract : Multiculturalism, as a set of ideas and policies, is one of the normative approaches to the current situation of cultural diversity in multicultural cities. But how can the ideas of multiculturalism be translated into the reality of urban form? The overall aim of this dissertation is to provide a theoretical and conceptual frame of reference for distilling and identifying the ideas of multiculturalism which can be translated into spatial form, and in this way, to highlight the role urban form may play in addressing the situation of living living 'together-in-difference’ .

  4. 4. Shaping Social Commitment : Architecture and Intellectuality in the 1970s and ’80s

    Author : Sebastiaan Loosen; Leuven Arenberg doctoral school; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES;

    Abstract : The overall research question that guides this dissertation, together with that of my colleague Elke Couchez, revolves around the formative years of architectural theory in Flanders. What conditions allowed architectural theory to mature into a self-aware and recognized discipline in the 1980s and 1990s? To this aim, the notion of ’architectural theory’ is broadened to that of ’architecture intellectuality’, which simply refers to ’thinking about architecture’. READ MORE

  5. 5. Intra-Representational Practice : An Inquiry into the Conditions for the Possibility of Interdisciplinary Imaginative Collaborative Architectural Modeling in Sustainable Urban Design

    Author : Pehr-Mikael Sällström; Daniel Koch; Helene Frichot; Gunilla Almström Persson; Isabelle Doucet; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Practice epistemology; Architecture; Urban design; Collaborative modeling; Interdisciplinary imagination; Communicative interaction; Representation; Distributed cognition; Intermodal communication; Trans-discourse.; Praktisk kunskap; Arkitektur; Stadsbyggnad; Kollaborativ modellering; Interdisciplinär föreställning; Kommunikativ interaktion; Representation; Distribuerad kognition; Intermodal kommunikation; Trans-diskurs; Arkitektonisk gestaltning; Architectural Design;

    Abstract : A consequence of the concern for a sustainable future is that the number of experts needed to be included in the imaginative stage of architectural modeling is rising. This motivates a better understanding of the conditions for the possibility of transgressive collaborative plural imagination in architectural modeling. READ MORE
