  2. 1. 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.

  4. 2. Coastal Communities on the Move : House and Polity Interaction in Southern Ostrobothnia 1500 BC-AD 1

    Author : Peter Holmblad; Karin Viklund; Henrik Asplund; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Community archaeology; Settlement archaeology; Landscape archaeology; Environmental archaeology; House society; Local polity; Bronze Age; Pre-Roman Iron Age; Subsistence practices; Habitation practices; Political economy; Ostrobothnia; Finland; Archaeology; North European; Arkeologi; nordeuropeisk; Archaeology; arkeologi;

    Abstract : This work attempts to seek new insights in understanding the archeological phenomena traditionally labelled as the western Bronze Age and the coastal Pre-Roman cultures of Finland (1500 BC-AD 1), by studying the phenomena from a socioeconomic interaction and practice oriented community perspective. The basic line of thought is that it was the everyday life of the local agents and their interactions that constituted the local communities. READ MORE

  5. 3. Range Camera Imaging : From Human Body Measurements to Very Large 3D Points Scenes Visualization

    Author : Gaël Neuez; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; 3D visualization; EASYTEX; anatomical landmarks; body scanner; range camera; 2D image projections; structured light; octree data structure;

    Abstract : The use of camera range imaging for the purpose of 3-dimensional representation and non-contact measures is widely used in industry, medicine, computer-aided design and other areas. Different range imaging methods can be applied, such as stereo, laser sheet of light, and structured light. READ MORE

  6. 4. Promise, Protection, and Prosperity. Aspects of the "Shield" as a Religious Relational Metaphor in an Ancient Near Eastern Perspective. An Iconographical and Textual Analysis

  7. 5. Online music distribution and the unpredictability of software logistics

    Author : Maria Eriksson; Pelle Snickars; Patrick Vonderau; Jörgen Skågeby; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; music distribution; logistics; software studies; unpredictability; digital methods; media and communication studies; medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This compilation dissertation examines the role of software in online music distribution and critically scrutinizes the increased influence of digital technologies in everyday life. In particular, it explores how software coordinates and arranges things, people, and information surrounding music and thereby exerts a logistical power that makes music calculable and governable online.
