  2. 1. Embodying Openness: A Pragmatist Exploration into the Aesthetic Experience of Design Form-Giving

    Author : Ariana Amacker; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Design research; pragmatism; aesthetic experience; form-giving; arts-based learning;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the tension between a reflective view of design and design as an embodied, aesthetic experience. Most research exploring the nature of design follows a tradition of practice-based design research, which aims to empirically establish what constitutes design by studying what designers do and say.

  4. 2. Reversed Crafting

    Author : Karin Peterson; Hanna Landin; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Reversed crafting; non-woven dress; formable weave; moulding dress; Textiles and Fashion Design ; Textil och mode konstnärlig ;

    Abstract : Reversed Crafting is an inquiry that aims to investigate alternative methods of form giving and manufacturing and their aesthetic consequence for dress. It is a practice-led venture that explores alternative materials and mediums through digital and analogue tools, rethinking what dress can be if not relying on currently dominant processes of form-giving and production.

  5. 3. Correlations in Frustrated Magnets : Classical and Quantum Aspects

    Author : Sergei Isakov; Anders Karlhede; Frederic Mila; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we study three different aspects of the physics of frustrated magnets. First, we study the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations in the transverse field frustrated Ising model on the triangular lattice. READ MORE

  6. 4. Body movement as material : Designing temporal expressions

    Author : Linnea Bågander; Clemens Thornquist; Lise Amy Hansen; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Design; body; body as material; fashion design; performing arts; temporal form; practice-led research; design methods; motion design; Textiles and Fashion Design ; Textil och mode konstnärlig ;

    Abstract : Movement and temporal qualities have a significant effect on design expressions. However, in the design of dress these are often overlooked, and the static form of a positioned body is considered to be the main driver of design. This work explores the expressions of the body in motion, engaged in the interaction constituted by wearing. READ MORE

  7. 5. Utopian-driven projektive research exploring the field of Metaurbanism

    Author : Nel Janssens; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Worlding; Urbanisation; Sense-making; Meta-Urbanism; Theory-through-design; Unsettlement; Poetic knowledge building; Imagineering; Utopia-Driven Projective Research; Projectivity;

    Abstract : In this thesis a design-based approach is developed to address the issue of reconceptualising urbanisation. The approach is called utopia-driven projective research and is the result of a process of reflection on a number of conceptual design projects the author participated in. READ MORE
