  4. 22. Tracing a Sacred Building Tradition. Wooden Churches, Carpenters and Founders in Maramures until the Turn of the 18th Century

    Author : Babos Alexandru; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; vernacular architecture in Maramureº; European log building; church carpenters; founders; sacred building tradition and regional identity.; wooden churches; Architecture; inredningsarkitektur; Arkitektur; interior design;

    Abstract : The increasing interest in the European historical log construction has heightened the need for comprehensive studies in different parts of the continent to view both the common features and the particular ones. The advanced Scandinavian research has revealed the problems of studying in depth and maintaining the log heritage when links to traditional carpentry are lost. READ MORE

  5. 23. GO LO GO HI : Tracing the Development of Masculine Domesticities from the Garage to the Penthouse — A Multi-Modal Exploration in Architecture, Urban Environments, Film, and the Arts

    Author : Janek Oźmin; Catharina Gabrielsson; Victor Edman; Valéry Didelon; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Multi-Modal; Sites of Enquiry; Masculine Domesticities; Suburban Garage; Penthouse; Architecture; The City; Film; Advertising Media; Technology; Consumption; Leisure; Real Estate; Spatial Container; Practice-Based Research; Urban Design; Stadsbyggnad;

    Abstract : GO LO GO HI is a multi-modal enquiry into the relationship between masculine domesticities and the architectures of the suburban garage and penthouse apartment. The project adopts the garage and the penthouse as sites of enquiry, which means thinking through architecture as a cultural phenomenon, the agency of which includes but is not limited to spatial design, material compositions, visual representations, and historical contexts.

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis offers a critical theorization of architecture’s shifting orientations towards the lives that it inevitably shapes and molds. The fourteen essays that comprise this thesis address a range of seemingly superficial transformations in architecture’s disciplinary landscape, which occur in Sweden in the second decade of the twenty-first century.

  7. 25. Program Matters : From Drawing to Code

    Author : Pablo Miranda Carranza; Katja Grillner; Daniel Koch; Charlie Gulström Hughes; Molly Wright Steenson; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; program; algorithm; code; drawing; geometry; notation; score; literacy; writing systems; diagram; formalism; sequence; cybernetics; materiality; research programme; archeological; archive; discourse analysis; practice-based; artefact; bricolage; Architecture; Arkitektur;

    Abstract : Whether on paper, on site or mediating between both, means for reading and writing geometry have been central to architecture: the use of compasses and rulers, strings, pins, stakes or plumb-lines enabled the analysis and reproduction of congruent figures on different surfaces since antiquity, and from the renaissance onwards, the consistent planar representation of three-dimensional shapes by means of projective geometry. Tacitly through practice, or explicitly encoded in classical geometry, the operational syntaxes of drawing instruments, real or imaginary, have determined the geometric literacies regulating the production and instruction of architecture.
