2. 1. Tracing a Sacred Building Tradition. Wooden Churches, Carpenters and Founders in Maramures until the Turn of the 18th Century

   Author : Babos Alexandru; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; vernacular architecture in Maramureº; European log building; church carpenters; founders; sacred building tradition and regional identity.; wooden churches; Architecture; inredningsarkitektur; Arkitektur; interior design;

   Abstract : The increasing interest in the European historical log construction has heightened the need for comprehensive studies in different parts of the continent to view both the common features and the particular ones. The advanced Scandinavian research has revealed the problems of studying in depth and maintaining the log heritage when links to traditional carpentry are lost. READ MORE

4. 2. Computer Visualization in Participatory and Cognitive Engineering

   Author : Peter Bengtsson; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Utvecklingspsykologi; Development psychology; Dynamic Decision Making; Operator Process Interfaces; Action Research; Learning; Ergonomics; Engineering; Participatory; Virtual Reality; Animation; Computer; Visualization; Systems engineering; computer technology; Data- och systemvetenskap; Architecture; interior design; Arkitektur; inredningsarkitektur; Engineering Psychology;

   Abstract : This thesis tells the initiation story of a computer visualization methodology and a participatory engineering methodology.

6. 4. Solar Shading for Low Energy Use and Daylight Quality in Offices: Simulations, Measurements and Design Tools

   Author : Marie-Claude Dubois; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; screens; venetian blinds; awnings; design tools; measurements; computer simulations; solar-protective glass; heating; cooling; visual comfort; daylighting; energy use; Shading devices; solar protection; Architecture; interior design; Arkitektur; inredningsarkitektur; Energy research; Energiforskning;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the impact of solar shading devices on energy use and daylight quality in office rooms. The impact on energy use is analysed through computer simulations with the dynamic energy simulation program Derob-LTH while the impact on daylight quality is investigated through measurements in full-scale experimental office rooms and simulations with the program Radiance.

7. 5. Urban Design and Space Use. A Study of Dar es Salaam City Centre

   Author : Jacob L Kimaryo; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Physical planning; Fysisk planering; inredningsarkitektur; Arkitektur; interior design; Architecture; Tanzania; urban form; space use; urban space; urban design; developing countries; City centres; Dar es Salaam;

   Abstract : Albeit there is a general consensus that urban design in the twentieth century failed in relation to space use, systematic research on this aspect has been very limited or at most inadequate in the developing countries. This study focuses on the above failure of urban design in this century with specific reference to the developing countries through an analysis of Dar es Salaam city centre, Tanzania. READ MORE
