    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

  4. 12. Nordiskt perspektiv på arkitektur: kritisk regionalisering i nordiska stadshus 1900-1955

    Author : Gerd Bloxham; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design process; Nordic architecture; architectural theory; town halls; architectural history; place-specificity; architectural competitions; historiographic methodology; critical regionalism;

    Abstract : The author investigates the reception of main international currents in the Nordic countries as manifested in a specific building type, the town hall/municipal administration building, chosen as the constant necessary for an inter-Nordic, comparative analysis. This investigation has been attempted on two levels, one inductive and one deductive, in a 'double-focus' approach. READ MORE

  6. 14. In conversation with simulation: The application of numerical simulation to the design of structural nodal connections

    Author : Jens Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; 3D Printing; Design theory; Structural design; Structural efficiency; Simulation; Peridynamics; Force flux density; Nodal connections; Conceptual design; Steel structures; Design process; Digital design;

    Abstract : The thesis explores methods for integration of structural analysis, design and production in a digital design environment. The somewhat ambiguous title implies the ambition to make such integration in relation to the explorative phase of the design process which is described by Donald Schön as having a conversational character.

    Abstract : Ramble, linger, and gaze explores a method of architecturalresearch based on narrative dialogue and examines the gardentheories and lite­rary garden representations of ThomasWhately (Observations on Modern gardening 1770) and JosephHeely (Letters on the Beauties of Hagley, Envil, and theLeasowes 1777). The thesis has the form of a narrated dialoguebetween these two writers and the narrator, and it is situatedat Hagley Park, Worchestershire, England. READ MORE
