  2. 6. Conflict and Compromise : An Evolutionary Framework for the Design of Multi-Storey Timber Buildings

    Author : Magnus Larsson; Andreas Falk; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : In January 1995, the architect John Frazer’s groundbreaking study, An Evolutionary Architecture, was published to coincide with an exhibition of the same name at the Architectural Association in London. The book proposed a new methodology for the architectural design process, based on a radical repositioning of the role of the architect. READ MORE

  4. 7. An exploration of lean thinking for multi-storey timber housing construction: contemporary Swedish practices and future opportunities

    Author : Anders Björnfot; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : Construction is affected by a large amount of waste (up to 35% of production costs in Sweden) and adverse relationships which lead to low quality and profitability. In Sweden, industrialized construction is viewed as one solution to the issues of construction which has led to a number of development efforts. READ MORE

    Author : Matilda Höök; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : Problems discussed within the Swedish housing industry are lack of competition, quality and increased costs. Improvements to cope with these problems have shown to be low compared to manufacturing and other industries. READ MORE

  6. 9. Parametric FE-modelling of non-linear racking behaviour of light-frame shear walls and modules used for multi-storey timber buildings

    Author : Le Kuai; Sigurdur Ormarsson; Johan Vessby; Marie Johansson; Kay-Uwe Schober; Linnéuniversitetet; []
