2. 1. Architectural prototypes : modes of design development and architectural practice

   Author : Jonas Runberger; Katja Grillner; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; architecture theory; design theory; prototype; performance; effect; affect; architectural design project; parametric model; design solution space; fabrication; production; industrial process; research by design; digital practice; projective practice; generative components; krets; parcel; splinegraft; urbantoys v.2; informed modularity; Architecture; Arkitektur;

   Abstract : This licentiate thesis is design driven, partly based on case studies in the form of experimental design projects developed mainly within the research and design collective Krets. It constitutes the first half of a PhD project that studies new technologies and techniques within design processes and the production of architecture, especially in relation to collaborative models.

4. 2. Structurally Informed Architectural Design

   Author : Laurens Luyten; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; architect; structural engineer; architectural design; structural design; conceptual design; design collaboration;

   Abstract : Architectural form and its supporting structure are results of interdependent design processes that do not always develop in harmony: often major outlines of architectural form are decided before structural design is involved. This doctoral work investigates design collaborations between architects and structural engineers in which architecture and structure are designed in mutual agreement, and structural design is able to guide and inspire a creation of architectural form and space.

5. 3. Architectural Prototypes II : Reformations, Speculations and Strategies in the Digital Design Field

   Author : Jonas Runberger; Örjan Wikforss; Katja Tollmar Grillner; Mette Ramsgard Thomsen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Architecture; digital design field; reformations; prototypical approach; performance; affect; cognitive estrangement; extrapolation; design fiction; architecture fiction; speculative approaches; digital design tropes; parametric design; operational digital design strategies; design project enquiries;

   Abstract : This doctoral thesis is situated within the digital design field of architecture, and is a continuation of the licentiate thesis Architectural Prototypes: Modes of Design Development and Architectural Practice, presented at the KTH School of Architecture in 2008. The doctoral thesis investigates the current status of the digital design field of architecture, and identifies a number of related discourses. READ MORE

6. 4. The Office - An Explorative Study : Architectural Design's Impact on Health, Job Satisfaction & Well-being

   Author : Christina Bodin Danielsson; Magnus Rönn; Lennart Bodin; Frank Becker; KTH; []

7. 5. Ice Formwork : The Rationale and Potential of Ice-Based Moulding Systems  for the Production of Complex-Geometry  Precast Concrete

   Author : Vasily Sitnikov; Oliver Tessmann; Tim Ainsworth Anstey; Harald Kloft; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ice Formwork; High-Performance Concrete; Digital Fabrication; Refrigeration; Embodied Energy; Grey energy; Carbon Footprint.; Architectural Technology; Arkitekturteknik;

   Abstract : This doctoral thesis analyses and makes proposals about adapting the poten-tial of digital means of production to the needs of the concrete industry. More precisely, it aims at fostering the development of sustainable material cycles and the innovation in manufacturing methods in the field of architectural and structural design of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC).
