  2. 1. Devices. On Hospitality, Hostility and Design

    Author : Martin Avila; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Device; hospitality; hostility; design; languaging; accident; ecology; symbiosis; autopoiesis; umwelt; Device;

    Abstract : This thesis studies and speculates upon the interrelations of artefacts with human and nonhuman agents. These interrelations form assemblages, some of which have emergent properties, becoming manifestations of processes that we cannot fully control or understand. READ MORE

  4. 2. Designing for Resilience : Navigating Change in Service Systems

    Author : Vanessa Rodrigues; Stefan Holmlid; Gaby Odekerken-Schröder; Bo Westerlund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; service design; service systems; resilience; value creation; systemic design;

    Abstract : Services are prone to change in the form of expected and unexpected variations and disruptions, more so given the increasing interconnectedness and complexity of service systems today. These changes require service systems to be resilient and designed to adapt, to ensure that services continue to work smoothly. READ MORE

  5. 3. Regenerative Place-making

    Author : Sigrid Östlund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; waste-resource cycles; dérive; designerly thinking; beyond sustainability; place-making; spatial design; nonmodern narratives; collective public life; regenerative design; schema;

    Abstract : Increased population and movement in the age of unsettlement affects local cultural institutions, ecological constitutions and the ontological sense of belonging. These conditions are arguably influenced by the mounting waste produced by the throw-away culture of the age of the ephemeral. READ MORE

    Abstract : Land use change constitutes a primary driving force in shaping social-ecological systems world wide, and its effects reach far beyond the directly impacted areas. Graph based landscape ecological tools have become established as a promising way to efficiently explore and analyze the complex, spatial systems dynamics of ecological networks in physical landscapes.

  7. 5. Hydraulic Efficiency in Pond Design

    Author : Jesper Persson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; performance; environmental science; efficiency; numerical modeling; design; hydraulics; pond; wetland; tracer study; preference;

    Abstract : Today there is a growing interest in constructed ponds to treat agricultural runoff, sewage water and stormwater. But ponds not only remove nitrogen, phosphorus and pollutants such as heavy metals; they can also have ecological, social and esthetic values. READ MORE
