2. 11. A Century of Swedish Gustavian Style : Art History, Cultural Heritage and Neoclassical Revivals from the 1890s to the 1990s

   Author : Hedvig Mårdh; Emilie Karlsmo; Per Strömberg; Helena Kåberg; Kjetil Fallan; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Gustavian style; authenticity; style; taste; Swedish art history; nationalism; exhibition design; reconstruction; period furniture; historical societies; design history; critical heritage studies; museum studies; historiography; Nordiska Museet; Nationalmuseum; Svenska Slöjdföreningen; Konstvetenskap; History of Art;

   Abstract : This is a study of the intersection between art historical theory and practice, and cultural heritage, where the revivals and mediations of the neoclassical Gustavian style have been used as a platform for further exploration. In relation to this, the use and changing meanings of the concepts authenticity and style have been examined. READ MORE

4. 12. Design for Serviceability - A probabilistic approach

   Author : Daniel Honfi; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design codes; long-term deflections; structural reliability; serviceability;

   Abstract : In many design situations the acceptable performance of structures is defined by serviceability requirements. To estimate the probability of serviceability failure three main design aspects should be considered: (1) the relevant exposures, (2) the structural response and (3) the performance criteria.

5. 13. Virtual Collaborative Design Environment: Information structure and interfaces

   Author : Shahin Sateei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cross-project learning; Collaborative Virtual Environment CVE ; Design Guidelines; virtual reality; Head-mounted display HMD ; User involvement;

   Abstract : The failure to identify design issues in early phases of construction projects has been identified as a significant cause of costly rework, as these issues can impact the building occupants’ abilities to efficiently perform their daily work tasks. Therefore, it is crucial to consider their feedback when design reviewing. READ MORE

6. 14. Moisture Buffering in the Indoor Environment

   Author : Kaisa Svennberg; Avdelningen för Byggnadsfysik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknik; furniture; textiles; moisture buffering; beds; indoor air; indoor environment; sorption isotherms; field measurements; definition scheme; Technological sciences;

   Abstract : Moisture buffering in the indoor environment is the ability, through absorption and desorption, of surface materials to attenuate the moisture variations of the indoor air. Moisture buffering plays an important role in understanding the risks for biological growth in surface materials in the indoor environment, e.g. READ MORE

7. 15. A psychosocial approach to architectural design : a methodological study

   Author : Geza Fischl; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering Psychology; Teknisk psykologi;

   Abstract : In this thesis, psychosocially supportive environmental components are identified and environmental assessment techniques are investigated to evaluate psychosocial components in built environments, particularly in health care environments. The aim is to develop a method useful for designers in collecting quantitative as well as qualitative information about the psychosocial supportiveness of the built environments. READ MORE
