Attending to nonhumans--the innumerable trees, rats, cows, copper, smog, clouds, bricks, oil, shade, doors, speed bumps, and others who must be omitted for the requisite brevity of an 'abstract'--orients the ecological problem per our everyday epistemology: how we relate with the world. In this domain, architecture, fundamentally an environmental medium, may operate as a fulcrum, shifting how we situate ourselves within the world.Yet, before we can design in such a way, we must first learn to witness the agency of nonhumans, a shift which demands expanded practices of attention and representation. This thesis focuses on a technique of mediated observation-simultaneously filmic, sonic, and textual-promoting an awareness of the multiple dimensions through which nonhumans constitute collectives. Playing upon the ubiquity of mobile devices, these techniques are brought together in the form of a smart phone application that prompts users to redirect their attention to the multitude of entities active around them. Participants' responses aggregate as a database of relational anecdotes, which is then choreographed into a series of episodic representations. Forgoing the human monopoly over the fabrication of worlds, these seek to foster an aesthetic "contact zone" whereby the agency of nonhumans is foregrounded. De-centering, yet not negating, the human.

Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1991.Includes bibliographical references (p. 253-258).
This thesis is about architecture that uses earth as the prime· building material in the context of rural Bangladesh. In extreme environmental conditions of annual floods, rain and atmospheric humidity, the use of earth, the most readily available building material, faces serious constraints. Yet examples of earthen architecture abound there. Other parts of the world endowed with similar climatic and socio-economic conditions also yield interesting examples of such architecture. The advent of imported, industrial building products has disrupted the long-standing indigenous building traditions. New social, cultural, economic and environmental conditions necessitate the upgrading of local building techniques. In recent years, much work and research has been conducted to develop improved techniques of building with earth. Not all the improvised methods can be applied in the context of rural Bangladesh, yet some do indicate potentials for application. Methods of evaluating such applicable techniques, and of formulating design guidelines and principles for using them in rural Bangladesh form the main subject matter of the thesis.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis le début des années 80, les progrès technologiques de l'imagerie des fonds marins et l'exploration des marges continentales ont permis de découvrir et d'étudier de nombreuses morphologies du fond marin témoignant de la circulation des fluides dans la colonne sédimentaire et de leur expulsion. Dans cette étude des volcans de boue, nous proposons une méthode d'analyse innovante combinant une approche statistique automatisée incluant la détection et l'analyse de paramètres morphométriques avec une étude géologique classique. Nous avons utilisé un vaste jeu de données de géophysiques marines et géologiques, d’origines académiques et industrielles, à l’échelle du bassin oriental de la mer Méditerranée.Il ressort de cette analyse que le mécanisme de formation des volcans de boue est directement lié à une contrainte locale ou régionale pouvant avoir une origine tectonique ou gravitaire.Différents paramètres géologiques conditionnant les dimensions et formes des volcans de boue ont été étudiés permettant de proposer un modèle original de leur formation. La conception de ce modèle, qui se veut générique, permet de regrouper les paramètres constitutifs d’un système de volcan de boue en trois étapes spatiales, depuis la couche source jusqu’à l’expression superficielleSince the early 80s, technological advances of seabed imagery and exploration of continental margins allowed to discover and study numerous seabed features recording fluid circulation within the sediment column.In this study of mud volcanoes, we propose an innovative method of analysis combining an automated statistical approach including detection and analysis of morphometric parameters together with a classical geological study. We used broad homogenous academic and industrial marine geophysical and geological dataset, at the scale of Eastern Mediterranean sea.The analysis of these parameters shows that the mechanism of formation of the mud volcanoes is directly related to a local or regional constrain that may have a tectonic or gravitational origin.Various geological parameters conditioning the size and shape of mud volcanoes have been studied and lead to propose an original model for the formation of mud volcanoes. The design of this model, which is intended to be generic, makes it possible to group the constituent parameters of a mud volcano system in three spatial stages, from the source layer to the superficial expression

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse traite de l'architecture d'un village du Sud présaharien au Maroc, avec l'objectif de comprendre les origines et le développement de l'architecture traditionnelle dans cette région dans son contexte culturel et historique. Le village choisi ici comme exemple représentatif est le qsar d'Asrir n'Ilemchane dans la vallée du Drā. Cette agglomération est un exemple très spécifique de ces groupements fortifiés aux maisons mitoyennes à puits de lumière central. Au-delà de la dénomination courante d' « architecture berbère », l'étude vise à comprendre l'énigme de son origine à travers une analyse détaillée et compréhensive de l'architecture villageoise. À cette fin nous essayons de distinguer les contributions respectives des groupes sociaux qui l'habitent, principalement deux, les Draoua ou Haratines, habitants originels, agriculteurs-jardiniers de l'oasis, et les Berbères Ayt Ātta, semi-nomades transhumants de la montagne proche, le jbel Saghro, installés plus récemment, comme protecteurs des sédentaires. Après une présentation du contexte naturel et historique de la vallée et de son peuplement composite, notre démarche de recherche s'appuie sur une documentation architecturale détaillée, relevés et dessins, d'une trentaine de maisons, une observation participative et des entretiens avec les habitants dont quelques « anciens ». Nous examinons le mode constructif de ces maisons en terre crue, adobes et pisé, savoir-faire spécifique des maçons haratines. Cet habitat est mis en perspective avec le mode de vie et l'organisation sociale de la population, en lien avec l'agriculture de palmeraie et le système d'irrigation. L'analyse des maisons a permis de forger des hypothèses sur le développement du village et de son enceinte au cours des siècles, puis son extension hors les murs. Ainsi a été étayée une première conclusion : si cette architecture dans sa facture première de « maison-grenier » est de conception draoua, elle a été ensuite modifiée et enrichie par les Berbères. Pour terminer, nous évoquons les transformations de cet habitat en tension entre tradition et modernité. Elles sont marquées à la fois par l'usage de techniques et de matériaux constructifs différents et par les modifications profondes de l'environnement local, national et global, d'autant que, rejoint spatialement par Zagora, la ville toute proche, le qsar que nous étudions a fini par y être intégré comme quartier. Cette situation a créé de nombreux bouleversements à la fois dans la forme du qsar que dans sa vie quotidienneThis thesis treats the architecture of a traditional village in the southern pre-Sahara in Morocco, with the aim to understand the origins and development of traditional architecture in this region in its cultural and historical context. The village chosen here as representative example is the ksar of Asrir do Ilemchane in the Drâa Valley. This settlement is a highly specific example of fortified agglomeration of living houses with central light shafts.Beyond a general designation as "Berber architecture", this study aimed to understand the enigma of its origin through a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the village architecture. To this end, we tried to distinguish the individual contributions of its dwellers, divided into two main groups: the Draoua or Haratins - the original inhabitants of the village who are farmers-gardeners in the oasis - and the semi-nomadic Ayt Atta Berbers, who practice nomadic grazing in the near the Jbel Saghro mountains and settled more recently as protectors of the sedentary group.Following a presentation of the valley’s natural and historical context and of its composite population, our research approach is based on a detailed architectural documentation in plans and drawings of about thirty houses; participant observation; and a series of interviews with dwellers - including some elders.We study how these houses were built from mud, adobe and rammed-earth, according to the specific expertise of the Haratin builders. This type of housing is put in perspective with the related lifestyle and social organization of the population, both in correlation with palm farming and the irrigation system.This analysis of architecture has allowed to construct hypotheses concerning the spatial development of the village and its protective walls over centuries, and about the recent extension of the village beyond these outer walls. We were thus able to achieve to a first conclusion: although the original concept of a “fortified house-granary”is of Draoua origin, it was later modified and enriched by the Berbers.Lastly, we will discuss how this housing was transformed in tension between tradition and modernity. These transformations are marked by the use of different building techniques and materials, and by the major changes of the local, national and global environment - all the more so since the nearest town, Zagora, expanded up to this particular ksar and eventually absorbed it as a town quarter. This situation created many disruptions in both the ksar form and its daily life

Full textAbstract:
This Degree project summarizes how it is to work in the CAD program Revit Architecture. This was done because AQ Arkitekter in Eskilstuna is interested in how Revit works. Especially compared to AutoCad which is the software they are using today. Will their work become more efficient with the new software?
The starting point was to find out how it is to work with Revit when you only used AutoCAD Architecture before. The purpose with this Degree project was to investigate whether it was possible to provide all the drawings required in a construction project that AQ Arkitekter normally produce in AutoCAD.
Most of the study was done on my own with some help of outside contacts. Drawings from an already completed construction projects were produced in Revit to really see if it was possible to obtain the required drawings. The final results were a summary of the Revit features and how to generate drawings. The two programs were compared to see the disadvantages and advantages of the programs. In the end, the Degree project did become a complete report, which gives an overview of Revit and its functions.

This study focuses on the development of architectural education at the University of Oregon's School of Architecture and Allied Arts (A&AA) in Eugene, Oregon. Applying a historic preservation perspective, this study examines how architectural perceptions are manifested through institutional changes in architectural education. Beginning with a focus on the A&AA under the administration of Dean Ellis F. Lawrence and Professor W. R. B. Willcox, this study transitions into an exploration of Dean Sidney W. Little's decidedly modernist alteration of the curriculum and building in the mid-twentieth century. During this period, the A&AA underwent a major shift from a curriculum and building based on the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement to a radically different approach that fully embraced the philosophy of modernism and actively rejected any allegiance to past architectural forms.

The objective of the present project was to develop and evaluate a solution forstorage of textiles in humid indoor environments, in this case churches. The proposed solution is based on creating a microclimate in the storage cabinets separated from the rest of the building. The cabinets were made air tight and insulated. With the use of a simple control system for conservation heating, the relative humidity can be kept below dangerous levels. The project comprises development and evaluation of textile cabinets in three churches on Gotland, Sweden. Measurements over one year show that cabinets with climate control are a simple and reliable method to prevent mould growth. Overall, the control systems have worked according to expectations. The relative humidity and temperature in the cabinets was maintained within a safe interval.

Australia in the early 50s followed a decade or so of frenzy activities in the visual arts. This resurgence of Australian art which led to its recognition in the UK and the United States also brought about a renewed recognition in the quality of domestic architecture. New boundaries in the design of the Australian home were being redefined, both in theory as well as in practice. Although the decades between the two Great Wars saw the importation of such influences as the Californian Bungalow and Art Deco styles (shades of Dudok, Mendelsohn etc.), it was during the post-war years that the term organic architecture that was much discussed by a wide range of practitioners of the time. This research aims to trace the journey of organic architecture from its origin to Australia and provide some insight into the workings of those who claimed to have practiced it.

Sedan ett antal år håller Försvarsmakten på att utveckla Försvarsmaktens Arkitektur och Försvarsmaktens Arkitekturramverk. Försvarsmaktens Arkitekturramverk skall vara ett stöd och styrning för Förvarsmaktens förändring och vidareutveckling, både nationellt och internationellt, samt spegla version 3 av NATO Architecture Framework. Ett försvarssystem vilket är utvecklat och används vid internationella insatser idag är Internationella Korvettstyrkan.Oförståelse för när, var och hur ett arkitekturramverk skall användas går att identifiera inom Försvarsmakten. Ett sätt, för att bringa förståelse för vad ett arkitekturramverk innebär, är att studera dess nytta. Denna uppsats har till syfte att visa på eventuell nytta med NATO Architecture Framework utifrån Internationella Korvettstyrkan. Med en definition av begreppet nytta analyseras vilka intresseområden inom NATO Architecture Framework som berör Internationella Korvettstyrkan och vad detta innebär för Internationella Korvettstyrkan.Resultat och slutsatser visar att nyttan med NATO Architecture Framework för Internationella Korvettstyrkan är att, internationell interoperabilitet och möjlighet till samordning med andra nationer underlättas med ett gemensamt beskrivningssätt för system.For several years the Swedish Armed Forces have been developing the Swedish Armed Forces’ Architecture and Architecture Framework. The Framework will provide support and direction for the Armed Forces’ change and development in the future, both nationally and internationally, and will mirror Version 3 of the NATO Architecture Framework. One element of the Armed Forces that has been developed for, and is used on, international operations is the International Corvette Force.There is a lack of understanding of when, where and how an architecture framework should be used within the Armed Forces. One way of increasing understanding of the implications of an architecture framework is to study its benefits. The aim of this thesis is to show the possible benefits of the NATO Architecture Framework for the International Corvette Force. After defining the term “advantage”, there will be an analysis of those areas of interest within the NATO Architecture Framework relevant to the Corvette Force and their implications for the Force.The results and conclusions show that the benefits of the NATO Architecture Framework to the International Corvette Force are that international interoperability and the ability to co-operate with other nations are made easier through use of a common method for the description of systems.

Full textAbstract:
Background With this master thesis, the authors wanted to verify if Modular Function Deployment (MFD) was applicable to other areas of knowledge than the traditional production industry. Namely, the authors tried to see if the benefits arising from MFD (more flexible and rational product structure) could be transposed to services and/or IT development. More specifically, the authors hope to provide a novel more systematic approach to software architecture when developers are confronted to new challenges and that there are no pre-existing solutions available. In order to verify the hypothesis that MFD can be extended to other domains of expertise, the authors realized a case-study with company Z, who commercializes a sports book solution for online betting. Objective Due to the short timespan available for this study, the authors decided to only verify whether the first two steps of MFD, voice of the customer and voice of the engineer, could be successfully implemented in software architecture. This gave rise to two objectives: 1) give the company another input on how to target the different market segments and 2) give the company another input regarding their product’s architecture. Method The authors first researched the actual literature on modularization and software architecture. Then they followed the procedure described in the first two steps of MFD with a few modifications to better suit the needs of software. Most of the data was gathered through meetings of the authors’ design and this information was then inserted in PALMATM, a piece of software for applying MFD. Results The results consist of graphs and tables provided by PALMATM following the data inserted in it. The method successfully indicated distinct approaches for each of the market segments targeted by company Z. The results regarding the second objective were more mitigated. Conclusions The application of MFD to software architecture seems promising. With this paper, the authors suggested a new more systematic way to approach software architecture that could prove to be an interesting alternative when considering one-of-a-kind problems or problems that cannot be answered by existing solutions. However, work still has to be done regarding the remaining three steps of MFD.

Full textAbstract:
Through the entry of web 2.0 the technologies behind web development has changed dramatically. Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is the umbrella term for different techniques that make it possible to build rich and interactive user interfaces in today’s web browsers. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) describes how common services can be bundled and published so they can be consumed by different systems.
The company SYSteam Evolution AB, which has requested this project, wanted a web application that shows a graphical activity chart in order to easier view ongoing projects. The goal for this project is to develop a demo platform that shows how AJAX and SOA can be used to create flexible and reusable applications. To reach the goals, many different frameworks and technologies need to cooperate and work together.
This report will describe the different technologies that have been used and explain the different steps in the development job.
The result of the work has lead to a demo platform that uses many different technologies to show a graphical activity chart. The job requestor and the author are very pleased with the result of the work.

Tjänsteorienterad arkitektur, ”Service Oriented Architecture” (SOA) talar om hur gemensamma tjänster paketeras och publiceras så att de kan konsumeras av olika system.
Uppdragsgivaren till detta examensarbete är företaget SYSteam Evolution AB. Företaget vill ha en webbapplikation som visar en grafisk aktivitetskarta för att enklare kunna överblicka pågående projekt. Målet med arbetet är att ta fram en demoplattform som visar hur AJAX och SOA kan användas för att skapa flexibla och återanvändbara applikationer. För att lyckas med uppdraget måste olika ramverk och teknologier kombineras och fungera tillsammans.
Denna rapport kommer att förklara de olika teknikerna som använts, samt även förklara de olika stegen i utvecklingsarbetet.
Resultatet av arbetet har utfallit i en demoplattform som använder många olika teknologier för att visa grafisk aktivitetskarta. Uppdragsgivare och uppdragstagare är mycket nöjda med resultatet av arbetet.

The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) presents an architectural guided modeling technique, using mappings and transformations that must be applied in the system models according system platforms. This work presents the FOMDA (Features-Oriented Model-Driven Architecture) approach, to help developers specifying models and managing transformations using the MDA technique. The FOMDA approach combines Features Model and MDA in an environment where developers can represent system characteristics with features and map them to transformation code that is responsible to generate the final application. This work also presents a case study using FOMDA to assist the development on an embedded real-time system.

Full textAbstract:
Kostnaderna för att bygga idag är höga och det krävs att byggbranschen effektiviseras för att sänka dessa. I takt med sökandet efter ständig effektivisering har verktygen utvecklats. Inom konstruktion har man på 25 år gått från att rita med penna och papper, till att bygga upp en tredimensionell modell i en dator. Idag ritar de flesta dock fortfarande i två dimensioner med programmet Autodesk Architectural Desktop, ADT, ett AutoCAD baserat program från Autodesk. Nu finns program som är objektbaserade, dessa bygger upp byggnaden i dess tredimensionella geometri. Programmet plockar sedan ut 2D-ritiningar ur modellen och information om olika komponenter littereras. Ett exempel på ett sådant program är Teklam Structures. Vilka effekter och skillnader i tidsåtgång som finns i användandet mellan de olika programmen kommer att åskådliggöras i denna rapport. Tekla Structures är ett program för konstruktionsritningar och lämpar sig mycket bra till byggnader med stål- och betongstomme. Eftersom de flesta inom projektering arbetar med DWG-filer underlättar det om alla kan arbeta efter samma modell, då är ADT ett bra alteranativ. En stor fördel för Tekla Structures är att ur den modell som skapats finns all information som behövs för projektering, tillverkning och montering. Ritningarna som genereras är alltid uppdaterade och aktuella.The cost of building constructions today is high and requires the industry to become more efficient. The search for continuing streamlining have brought the utensils into line with the development. Concerning constructions the progress during the last 25 years has extended from pen and paper, to buil-int computerized three-dimensional models. At present the majority still utilize two dimensional based programs, for example Autodesk Architectural Desktop, ADT, an AutoCAD based software from Autodesk. Nowadays the programs are objectbased, i.e. construct three-dimensional geometry of the building structure. The program then plots 2D structural blueprints from the model with subsequent information of the various components. An example of such software is Tekla Structures. The arguments for and against concerning effects and differences in the duration of client time consumption that exist in the use of the various softwares will be evaluated in this report. Tekla Structures is a software adjusted for the design of construction blueprints and lends itself very well to buildings with steel and concrete structure. Since most of the construction and planning designers work with DWG files, a unified way of working is desirable, where ADT might constitute as a plausible candidate. A great advantage of Tekla Structures is that the software within the model contains the complete information necessary for design, manufacture and assembly. The blueprints generated are always updated and current.

Full textAbstract:
Studentbostadsbristen påverkar studenter runt om i hela landet. 20 000 studentbostäder saknas, varav 50 procent saknas i Stockholm. Studenter tvingas välja mellan temporära boenden eller att tacka nej till den utbildningen de blivit antagna till. Dessa levnadsförhållanden leder till en sämre livskvalité under studietiden, vilket i sin tur kan påverka studenternas utbildning och framtid. Vid utformning av studentbostäder läggs ofta den sociala hållbarheten åt sidan. Den sociala hållbarheten bidrar till att studenterna känner gemenskap, samhörighet och hemhörighet. Nytänkande gestaltningsförslag och idéer behövs för att öka känslan av gemenskap och utveckla den sociala hållbarheten i studentbostäderna. Studentbostäder med välplanerade sociala ytor ger möjlighet till en högre livskvalité för studenterna. Gemensamma sociala ytor ökar möjlighet till att skapa nya kontakter både i början och under studietiden. Att skapa goda levnadsförhållanden i studentbostäder borde ses som ett samhällsintresse då studenterna efter sina studier ger tillbaka till samhället och bidrar till framtidens utveckling. Syftet med rapporten är att lyfta fram problemet med den nuvarande studentbostadsbristen och den låga sociala hållbarheten i dagens studentbostäder. Målet med gestaltningen är att bidra med ett förslag på en fungerande utformning av studentbostäder med fokus på den sociala hållbarheten och gemenskap. Genom examensarbetets enkätundersökning samt faktainsamling byggdes en stabil grund för det gestaltningsarbete som utfördes. Resultatet blev tre studentbostadshus som placerades i ett av kvarteren i det nya området Kista äng. Studentbostadshusen har fyra olika studentbostadstyper samt gemensamma sociala ytor som är tillgängliga för alla studenter i kvarteret.The shortage of student housing units affects students around the country. 20,000 student housing units are needed, 50 percent of these are needed in Stockholm. Students are forced to choose between living in temporary accommodations or decline the education to which they have been admitted. These living conditions lead to a poorer quality of life during the study period, which in turn can affect the students' education and future. When designing student housing units,the social sustainability is often put aside. Social sustainability contributes to the students getting a feeling of community, solidarity and being at home. New design proposals and ideas are needed to increase the sense of community and to develop the social sustainability of student housing units. Student housing units with well-planned social spaces allows for a higher quality of life for the students. Common social spaces enhance the opportunity to make a connection with new people at the beginning and during the study period. Creating good living conditions in student housing units should be regarded as a societal interest as students, after their studies, return to society and contribute to the development of the future. The purpose of the report is to illustrate the problem with the current student housing shortage and the poor social sustainability of today's student housing units. The goal of the design is to contribute ideas for a functional design of a student housing unit with a primary focus on social sustainability and fellowship. With the help of the survey and the information that was gathered a sound basis was created before the the design work started. The result was three buildings with student housing units that were placed in one of the neighborhoods in the new area of Kista äng. The buildings have four different types of student housing units and social spaces that are available for all students in the neighborhood.

Svenska förskolor har tidigare utformats med separataoch identiska avdelningar i vilka samtliga aktiviteter tarplats. Idag finns ett annorlunda synsätt vid byggnationerav förskolor som nu gestaltas med små hemvisten för olika åldersgrupper tillsammans med gemensamma rumför lek, skapande, vetenskap, musik och måltider. I dettaarbete utförs en konceptuell gestaltning av en förskola för144 barn i samhället Sävast i Bodens kommun utifrån ett redan framtaget lokalprogram och en given tomt. Syftetär att gestalta en förskola i ett plan med större gemensamt utnyttjade torg och undersöka hur god rumslighet skapas itorgen. Samtidigt ska trivseln i inomhusmiljön beaktas medhänsyn på barnen och pedagogerna. Arbetet påbörjas genom en inledande litteraturstudiedär arkitektoniska kvalitéer, barnets behov och utvecklingbeaktas kopplat till förskolor med ett gemensamt utnyttjat torg. Litteraturstudien följs av tre stycken fallstudier på förskolor i Luleå och Umeå där både platsbesök och intervjuer genomförs. Därefter syntetiseras resultatet från litteraturstudien och fallstudierna med hjälp av metodenProblem Seeking vilket går ut på att identifiera behov ochlösningar. Det resulterar i en syntes bestående av sex styckenlösningar som uppfyller flest identifierade behov för barn och pedagoger, vilka i sin tur ligger till grund för det framtagna konceptet. Syntesen resulterar i följande sex kvalitéer: Öppen planlösning, Utmanande och varierande, Nivåer och krypin, Färg, material och texturer, Ljus och transparenta ytor samt Skapa aktivitetsrum i rummet. Detta resulterar efter en platsanalys, flödes- och sambands-skisser samt volymstudier i en rödfärgad förskola med skiftande tak innehållande ett större och ett mindre torg som tillsammans med restaurangen skapar en cirkulation kring en innergård. Torgen resulterar i öppna utrymmenmed snedställda innerväggar, varierande takhöjder samt utstickande och oregelbundna fönstersättningar. Mindrerumsligheter i torgen skapas främst med hjälp av olika typer av lös inredning där både transparenta och opaka material med olika texturer förekommer. Huruvida god rumslighet har skapats i torgen för att forma en trivsam inomhusmiljö är svårt att svara på då rumslig upplevelse är individuell. Vilka medel som kan användas för att skapa god rumslighet i en inomhusmiljö har däremotkunnat identifieras, vilket skapar goda förutsättningar för attuppnå det syfte torgutformningen tillgivits.Preschools in Sweden have previously been designed with separate and identical departments where all activities take place. Today, there is a different approach when designing preschools. They are now shaped with small units for different age groups, along with common spaces for play, creation, science, music and meals. In this work, a conceptual design of a preschool for 144 children is carried out in Sävast, part of the municipality of Boden, on the basis of an alreadydeveloped local program and a given site. The purpose isto form a preschool in one level with larger common used squares and explore how good spatiality is created in the squares. At the same time, the indoor environmental comfort is taken into consideration with regard to both the childrenand the educators. The work is initiated by a literature study in which architectural qualities, child needs and development is taken into account regarding preschools with a common used square. The study of literature is followed by three case studies at preschools in Luleå and Umeå, where both site visits and interviews are conducted. Thereafter, the results of the study of literatureand the case studies are synthesized using the ProblemSeeking method, which has a purpose of identifying needsand solutions. This results in a synthesis consisting of sixqualities which meet the most identified needs for childrenand educators. This in turn underlies the developing ofthe design concept. The synthesis leads to the following six qualities: Open plan, Challenging and varying, Levels and nests, Colour, material and textures, Light and transparentsurfaces and Creating activity spatiality’s in a bigger space. After a site analysis, flow and connection sketches and volume studies the result is a red-colored preschool withvarying roofs. The preschool contains a larger and smallersquare which together with the restaurant creates a circulation around a courtyard. The squares results in an open space with oblique interior walls, varying ceilings, and protruding and irregular windows. Smaller spaces in the squares are mainly created using various types of non permanent furnishings, where both transparent and opaque materials with differenttextures are present. Whether good spatiality has been created to form a pleasantindoor environment is difficult to answer when spatial experiences are individual. On the other hand, the meansthat can be used to create good spatiality in an indoorenvironment have been identified, which creates goodconditions for achieving the purpose of the design of the squares.

Les travaux portent sur les multiplexeurs optiques fonctionnant à mi-IR pour la source à large bande dans l'application de détection de gaz. Deux configurations ont été étudiées: réseau de guides d'onde (AWG) et réseau concave planaire (PCG). Premièrement, le principe du fonctionnement a été compris afin de développer une solution analytique pour le champ de sortie en utilisant une approximation gaussienne du champ et de l'optique de Fourier. Ensuite, un outil de simulation semi-analytique de la réponse spectrale pour les deux configurations de multiplexeur a été développé dans MATLAB. La distribution normale des erreurs de phase a été introduite dans le modèle semi-analytique AWG, ce qui nous a permis d'étudier la corrélation entre l'écart-type des erreurs de phase et le niveau de diaphonie de la réponse spectrale AWG. AWG à 5,65 μm a été fabriqué à partir de la technologie SiGe / Si à l'aide de l'outil MATLAB pour le calcul des paramètres de conception et de l'outil P.Labeye pour le calcul de la géométrie AWG. Les dispositifs avec des paramètres légèrement variables ont été caractérisés: AWG1 avec guides d'ondes de 4,6 μm et MMI de 9 μm; AWG2 avec guides d'ondes de 4,6 μm et MMI de 11 μm; AWG3 avec guides d'ondes de 4,8 μm et MMI de 9 μm. Des mesures des dispositifs sur la puce 36 (centre de la plaquette) et sur la puce 32 (côté de la plaquette) ont été effectuées et analysées. Les mesures de température de AWG2 et AWG3 (puce 32 et puce 36) aux points cinq points de température ont montré une dépendance linéaire du déplacement spectral avec la température qui a une bonne corrélation avec les prédictions de simulationThe work focuses on optical multiplexers operating in mid-IR for broadband source in gas sensing application. Two configurations were studies – arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) and planar concave grating (PCG). First, principle of operation was understood in order to develop analytical solution for output field using Gaussian approximation of the field and Fourier Optics. Then, semi-analytical simulation tool of the spectral response for both multiplexer configurations was developed in MATLAB. Normal distribution of phase errors was introduced to semi-analytical AWG model, which allowed us to study the correlation between standard deviation of phase errors and the level of crosstalk of AWG spectral response. AWG at 5.65 µm was fabricated based on SiGe/Si technology using the MATLAB tool for design parameters calculation and P.Labeye’s tool for AWG geometry calculation. Devices with slightly varying parameters were characterized: AWG1 with 4.6 µm waveguides and 9µm MMI; AWG2 with 4.6 µm waveguides and 11µm MMI; AWG3 with 4.8 µm waveguides and 9µm MMI. Measurements of devices on chip 36 (center of the wafer) and chip 32 (side of the wafer) were performed and analyzed. Temperature measurements of AWG2 and AWG3 (chip 32 and chip 36) at points five temperature points showed linear dependence of spectral shift with the temperature which has a good correlation with simulation predictions

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the thesis is to investigate planning processes for academic library buildings and the outcomes of such processes. This is accomplished through a case study utilising discourse analysis. The main question is: How is a vision of an academic library implemented in and through a building? The case study is retrospective and focused on the building of a newlibrary at Kalmar University, Sweden, at the end of the 1990s. During this period, technological and educational developments and general societal change transformed the context of library planning and made way for renegotiations of the librarian profession.A critical realist approach characterises the study of visions, processes and the analysis of the various functions of the building. Results reveal the proactive nature of the activities of thelibrary director in Kalmar. Early in the process he formulated a vision in which he presents the library as an information resource, a meeting place between different user groups and a workplace intended to promote learning and knowledge. From a professional point of view, the vision implied a dehierarchisation of relations both within the library staff and between library staff and visitors. The vision was based on an interpretation of Swedish national educational policy, and architecturally manifested by an ambition to reduce the physical and psychologicalboundaries between library staff and visitors. The early formulation of the visiontogether with the clients’ use of architectural expertise facilitated the choice of architects.However during the process a need arose to anchor the decision in the library field. Efforts were made to address library expertise and to collect user comments from a broader academic field. Discourses concerning the university library as a workplace and a meeting place wereespecially evident in the strategies of the leading agents. The discourses uncovered in the study correspond to more general discourses which became prominent in society and higher education during the period in question. The library itself has met growing appreciation by users both from within and outside the university.The proactive leadership demonstrated by the library director in Kalmar was based on hegemony rather than coercion. This corresponds to contemporary tendencies. Hegemonic consent may persist even after changes in leadership. In Kalmar however, architectural solutions with insufficient support from the library staff have been reconstructed after changes in leadership.Future research on architectural planning processes may pay further attention to different discursive resources, social fields and the positions within them.Akademisk avhandling som med tillstånd av samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Göteborgs universitet för vinnande av doktorsexamen framläggs till offentlig granskning klockan 13.15 fredagen den 4 december 2009 i sal D207, Högskolan i Borås, Allégatan 1

This thesis explores the Bohmann Park neighborhood of Washington County as a case study of contemporary style in Oregon. As both individual and the largest grouping of homes by Robert Rummer, Bohmann Park informs treatment of Rummer homes and contemporary resources. Nationally, contemporary homes by architects and builders have been recognized for their architectural and historic value through the historiography, National Register listing, and local protections. Modern architecture in Oregon has yet to be equally rigorously explored. Rummer’s prolific work is an ideal point of exploration. Within the context of architectural history and preservation practice, two condition assessments of individual residences in the neighborhood analyze the varied care and common threats faced by these resources. The adverse effects faced by Bohmann Park from the City of Portland’s Fanno Creek Pump Station and its mitigation efforts explore challenges faced by the subdivision as a potential historic district.

Examensarbete genomfördes i samråd med Helenius konsultbyrå. Syftet med arbetet var att utreda och undersöka möjligheterna att förbättra driftekonomi och inneklimat på Radiohusets kontorsbyggnad som är beläget på Gärdet i de centrala delarna av Stockholm. Bakgrunden till arbetet var att det fanns relativt stora problem med inneklimatet i denna del av byggnaden under både sommar och vinter. Vintertid upplevde en stor del av personalen som vistades i byggnaden dragproblem och sommartid är inneklimatet alldeles för varmt för att personalen kan jobba effektivt. En annan del av problemet var att stora mängder energi användes för temperera byggnaden vintertid. Den stora energianvändningen beror till stor del av en otät och dåligt isolerad fasad.
Huvuddelen av arbete gick ut på att kartlägga energianvändningen och hitta besparingsförslag för energianvändningen samt att ge förslag på klimatförbättrande åtgärder. Energikartläggningen genomfördes dels genom att bygga upp byggnaden i energisimuleringsprogrammet

This thesis is concerned with the introduction of quality daylight to buildings by means of translucency in the horizontal planes or floors within the building. Since people began to build, the concept of translucency in the vertical planes. the walls of a building, has served as the basis for continual invention in structural systems and the translucent component or window itself. This thesis pursues the application of translucent floor systems as an alternative or additional means of achieving daylighting in this same vein. This thesis begins by tracing and elaborating on the early historical precedence for this application. It then proceeds to explore the properties of the various types of daylight admitted through horizontal openings and its behavior in relationship to the properties of the translucent floor construction. Through a series of physical daylight modeling techniques. basic relationships are established between the parameters of the translucent floor system and the resultant quality and quantity of daylight in the building. The basic structural systems employed in this technology are investigated and evaluated with respect to translucency of the system. The compatibility of floor translucency to various programmatic and organizational characteristics of the building is assessed. This thesis concludes by demonstrating the application of the translucent floor system to achieving daylighting in three prototypical architectural projects covering a diverse range of building types.

Bâtir de villes face à la surpopulation tout en prenant en compte les changements climatiques, demandera de faire appel à des solutions concrètes pour répondre aux besoins sanitaires, sécuritaires et biophiliques de leurs habitants. Le but de cette thèse est d'évaluer la possibilité d'avoir un système de mur vivant qui soit durable, écologiquement juste, non limité par la localisation et la typologie du bâtiment et plus abordable que les systèmes actuellement disponibles. L'hypothèse de cette thèse est le béton, en raison de sa durabilité, son coût et son ubiquité, a le potential pour être utilisé comme un moyen de croissance pour la vie végétale et qu'il s'agit actuellement du matériau le plus réaliste pour étendre la portée de la nature dans le milieu urbain.La thèse est pluridisciplinaire et il faudra combiner les connaissances des sciences de la botanique et des matériaux, connaissances qui seront appréhendées au travers d'un prisme architectural. Ce point de vue influencera la trajectoire de la conception future du système, par exemple pour déterminer si le système pourrait être structurel et utilisé pour l'intérieur et l'extérieur des bâtiments bas, moyens et hauts, ou encore quelles ambiance architecturales et urbaines il est susceptible de créer. Cette thèse de doctorat déterminera la faisabilité des systèmes de murs vivants en béton et, si elle est validée, fournira la base pour des solutions durables de murs vivants en bétonCities facing overpopulation amid shifting climates will require practicable solutions to meet the biophilic, health, and safety needs of city dwellers. The goal of this thesis is to determine the possibility of having a living wall system which is durable, environmentally sustainable, unlimited by location and building typology, and more affordable than currently available systems. The hypothesis of this thesis is that concrete,due to its durability, cost, and ubiquity, is capable of being used as a growing medium for plant life and is currently the most realistic material choice to significantly extend nature’s reach into the urban milieu. The thesis is multi-disciplinary and combines botany and material science, but architecture is the lens throughwhich the inter-disciplinary work is validated. This architectural lens will influence the trajectory of future system design, e.g., in determining if the system would have the potential of being structural and used for the interiors and exteriors of low, mid, and high-rise buildings. This doctoral thesis would determine the feasibility of concrete living wall systems and if validated provide the foundation for sustainable concrete living wall solutions

Full textAbstract:
Detta projekt är ett förslag på en ny stadshall i den mindre kommunen Strängnäs, belägen vid Mälaren. Området präglas av Strängnäs historia samt det varierande landskapet. Den givna platsen för nya stadshallen ligger vid Västervikstorget med båthamnen intill. På ena sidan ser man små äldre trähus växa upp för kullen med den gamla mjölkvarnen på toppen. På motsatta sidan syns murade och putsade kvartershus med domkyrkan i bakgrunden. Mötet mellan de två olika typologierna är spännande och även om denna typ av kontrast är vanlig i Strängnäs så framträder den starkast på platsen för den nya stadshallen. Den nya stadshallen är inspirerad av områdets karaktär med den varierande topografin och mötet mellan byggnadstypologierna. Den undersöker de unika och varierande kvalitéerna från den kontrasterande omgivningen. Tanken är att den nya stadshallen ska behålla den uppbrutna och intima känslan från den äldre bebyggelsen, och samtidigt bevara den solida känslan från stenstadskvarteret och domkyrkan. Resultatet är en uppdelad tegelbyggnad där omkringliggande mark binder samman de olika delarna. Relationen mellan de separata byggnadskropparna formar en serie av öppningar och utomhusytor. Dessa skapar i sin tur koppling, aktivitet och flöde mellan och runt om stadshallen.This project is a proposal for a new city hall in the small town of Strängnäs, located by Lake Mälaren. The area is characterised by its historic background and varying landscape. The given site for the project lies next to a public square, by one of the bays in Strängnäs. On one side of the building site, small wooden houses run up a hill where an old windmill stands. On the opposite side, blocks of brick houses rise up with Strängnäs cathedral in the background. The intersection of the two very different building typologies is unusual and although this kind of contrast is common in Strängnäs, it is ever so evident on the site of the new city hall. The new Strängnäs city hall is inspired by the characteristics of Strängnäs, such as the varying topography and mix of building typologies. It explores the unique and different qualities in the contrasting surroundings. The idea of the project is to preserve the fragmented structure and intimacy of the wooden houses, whilst simultaneously maintaining the solidness of the brick houses and the cathedral. The result is a scattered brick building connected by the terrain it stands on. The relationship between the disembodied building units forms a series of openings and outdoor spaces, creating connectivity, activity and flow between and around the city hall.

Settlers developed the American West by controlling and subduing the processes of nature. This thesis explores architecture that reveals those processes, not subdues them. A prime example of this is the area along the North Platte River in southeastern Wyoming. The area\'s quick settlement has resulted in poor land development that threatens the area\'s current, agriculture-dependant, livelihood. Reservoirs developed to support the agricultural industry have reached the end of their useful lives, and now threaten the water supply. Once such reservoir, located in Guernsey, Wyoming, is silting and must be removed. In the early 1900\'s, society built whatever was necessary to maintain its livelihood. It was about building quickly and controlling the forces of nature. But that approach caused problems that need to be repaired. With a new land use strategy for the river, and strategic localized site planning, architecture will be a solution. Rather than spending millions of dollars dredging the reservoir, architecture can ignite a series of positive land development. Architecture provides mankind with historical insight. It is a way for people to interact with nature and visualize an environment\'s effect over time. In order for people to integrate with nature, they must be aware of the processes that shape a place. To fully integrate architecture into the landscape, four points must be considered: the current conditions, the history, a new use for the land, and the implementation and integration of all these aspects.

Full textAbstract:
My research explores the early to mid-twentieth century architecture of the Public Works Department (PWD) in Nigeria. It does this by examining official colonial records, PWD surviving buildings and architecture professional records. By adopting these three strands of investigation, the research aims to better understand the department’s building operations, building types and designs, and the composition of its architectural personnel. More importantly, the research aims to demonstrate that a study of Nigeria PWD architecture significantly contributes to wider debates on tropical imperial architecture and Nigeria’s colonial architecture. There has been a host of previous literature on empire and its influences on architecture in the tropics, with a number of these studies examining the PWD in some former imperial environments. However, Nigeria’s imperial architecture literature is mostly limited to the country’s late colonial tropical modernist works, while the PWD remains largely un-researched. The only previous work found on Nigeria PWD architecture, is Davidson’s 1957 The architectural works of the ministry of works, Western Region, Nigeria. This focuses on drawing approvals, the architectural staff strength, and the building output and climatic design factors employed. But this is all presented in a two page article that provides very limited insights. Are the issues raised in Davidson’s study all there is to PWD architecture in Nigeria? Other emerging questions will be - what comprehensive building operations did the department undertake? What were the building types constructed, and was climate the only design consideration? Who were the architects, why had they worked there at the time, and what was the relation to Nigeria’s early architectural profession? To answer these questions and obtain the insights needed to build on Davidson’s 1957 study, the research methods employed are - archival investigations, to source official colonial records; fieldwork, to track down surviving PWD buildings; and unstructured interview so as to obtain a veteran’s account of working in the department. The data obtained is analysed in the three sections of PWD building operations, PWD building output and PWD architectural personnel. The main findings which emerge therefore are that, (a) although PWD building operations were being implemented at all levels by colonial officials, the native administration level imbibed significant native operational inputs; (b) Although PWD buildings were mainly initiated to serve colonial administrative purposes, the designs largely portrayed architecture as a vital tool for improved tropical health; and (c) although PWD architects were perceived as agents of a grand imperial building scheme, in reality they had functioned more as professionals taking up practice opportunities. On the whole, the mainstream arguments have mainly stressed the PWD’s role in imperial building agenda. However, the findings of the research indicate and also further the argument that within this wider agenda, the PWD also operated in what may be termed as localized agendas. While this better addressed the practical realities of working, building and living in the colonies, it also aimed to limit certain colonizer-colonized barriers.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis envisions a new way of living in the city of Toronto. It is a vision that evolves not from the ideologies on which Toronto was founded, set out over 100 years ago when all multi-family dwellings were called tenements and tenements were considered, among other things, immoral. Instead, it is a vision founded on a city that has seen immense change over the last century, and faces an even greater rate of change over the next. Our city prides itself on its cultural and social diversity, yet, architecturally, we still struggle to adapt within a fabric of single-family homes. The Dutch provide an edifying example of an architecture of daily life, embodied by their attitude toward issues of privacy, toward traffic, toward work and play. Based on a case study of housing in the Netherlands, a country that has successfully and creatively adapted to the demands of housing in a climate of rapid immigration and a diversifying population, this thesis proposes new, high density urban housing typologies for the city of Toronto. This new vision for the city serves not only to add the necessary density to our existing neighbourhoods, but to foster a strong community life and to provoke new ideas about urban living.

Detta arbete visar ett utformningsförslag på ett modernt miljöhus som skall underlätta källsortering av returförpackningar i samhället, baserat på arkitektoniska och tekniska funktioner. Arbetet grundar sig i de växande miljöproblemen som planeten jorden utsätts för, där källsortering och återvinning är två viktiga faktorer som måste utvecklas ytterligare för att kunna bidra till en förminskad klimatförändring. Studien baseras på tidigare framtagna teorier, observationer, enkätundersökningar och intervjuer med sakkunniga. Resultaten visar att ett miljöhus utformat utan fram- eller baksida och utan ingång, underlättar för sortering av avfall.This work shows a design proposal of a modern recycling house, which is developed to ease waste sorting in a community, based on architectural och technical functions. The work is based on the constantly growing environmental issues that affects planet earth. Waste sorting och recycling are two important factors that have to be further developed to contribute to a reduced climate change. The study is based on previous produced theories, observations, surveys and interviews with experts in different areas. The results shows that a recycling house with no front or back and without entrance, makes it easier for people to engage in waste sorting.

Full textAbstract:
Le sujet de cette thèse est le mur comme élément du “décor’’, tel que l’âge classique l’entend. Pour les architectes et les théoriciens du XVIe et du XVIIe siècle, le mur contribue à la beauté de l’édifice. Différentes techniques de finition permettent de l’embellir : appareils en pierre de taille dressés et ravalés, bossages, briques polychromes, enduits qui unifient et enluminent les parements. Qu’il soit nu ou orné le mur n’est jamais neutre. Les architectes disposent sur le mur des motifs qui "enrichissent" les ordonnances, mais les surfaces décoratives qui qualifient les intervalles entre les principaux éléments du décor, ouvertures ou éléments de l’ordre, et les encadrements, qui montrent le mur comme un tableau, structurent les ordonnances, avec ou sans ordres. Ces ornements qui jouent un rôle aussi important sur le plan symbolique que syntaxique ont ainsi leur place dans le système classique des ornements dans lequel les ordres tiennent le premier rôle. Les ornements du mur peuvent prendre les caractères de l’ordre mais ont aussi leur propre rhétorique ; d’une part ils ont les qualités du mur même, d’autre part ils n’ont pas la même origine : les premiers ornements classiques imitent les inscriptions des monuments funéraires ou honorifiques de l’Antiquité. Une des particularités de la façade française est l’insistance sur les lignes verticales de la travée de fenêtres qui est en soi une composition ornementale. Les architectes coordonnent deux systèmes opposés : l’horizontalité qu’impose la superposition des ordres et la verticalité de la travée de fenêtres. Ils utilisent alors deux moyens : le renforcement des moulurations horizontales et l’ornement du mur. Cette thèse confirme certaines observations sur la façade française : l’effet a-tectonique des ornements, même si ceux-ci structurent la composition. Au principe classique de l’unité de l’organisme architectural dans lequel rien de peut être ajouté ou retranché, les architectes français apportent leur réponse : tous les éléments sont des ornements ainsi que le mur lui-même, qui se montre ou se voile de légers ornementsThe subject of this thesis is the wall as element of the "decor", such as the classic age understands it. For the architects and the theorists of the XVIth and of the XVIIth century, the wall contributes to the beauty of the building. Various techniques of finish allow to embellish it: dressed stone, perfectly raised, bossages, bricks, coat which unify and illuminate facings. Naked or decorated, the wall is never neutral. The architects put on the wall motives which "enrich" the composition, but the ornamental surfaces which qualify the intervals between the main elements of the decor, openings or elements of the order, and the frames which show the wall as a picture structure the composition, with or without orders. These ornaments which play a role as important on the symbolic plan as on syntactic one have their place in the classic system of the ornaments in which the orders hold the leading part. The ornaments of the wall can take the characters of the order but also have their own rhetoric; on one hand they have the qualities of the wall, on the other hand they don’t have the same origin: the first classic ornaments imitate the inscriptions of funeral or honorary monuments of the Antiquity. One of the peculiarities of the French facades is the insistence on the vertical lines of the bay of windows which is in itself a decorative composition. The architects coordinate two opposite systems: the horizontality which imposes the superimposition of the orders and the verticality of the bay of windows. They use then two means: the intensification of the horizontal moulding and the ornament of the wall. This thesis confirms certain observations on the French facade: the a-tectonic effect of the ornaments, even if this they structure the composition. To the classic principle of unity of the architectural body in which nothing can be added or substracted, the French architects bring their answer: all the elements are ornaments as well as the wall itself, which shows or hides with light ornaments

Full textAbstract:
During the past few years, Building Information Modeling (BIM) started to gain acceptance within the AEC industry. But, as with many software products for project management, BIM currently faces significant issues and obstacles that hinder its widespread use. The broad goal of this study is to improve BIM implementation in mid-size firms during the Schematic Design (SD) and Design Development (DD) phases. The study has four main objectives. First, mapping the existing BIM related process model in mid-size firms, and modeling the flow of information between BIM users inside these firms. Second, identifying the challenges that are currently facing BIM users during the Schematic Design (SD) and Design Development (DD) phases, because of the importance of these phases in making critical decisions that directly affect the building life cycle. Then, linking these challenges to a BIM related business process model in order to identify when and how these issues occur. Third, exploring the structural conditions that may change or affect the BIM workflow. Fourth, the study proposes a new business process model that can enhance BIM implementation in mid-size firms.
The study is qualitative in nature, and based on interviews with a sample of BIM users involved in mid-size firms in the USA. The researcher attempted to capture BIM issues and the flow of information between BIM users through case studies and interviews inside their firms. Also, the researcher involved a new group of BIM users in the research to seek their feedback, in order to generalize the research results.Ph. D.

Examensarbetet ”2084: A home odyssey - Ett spekulativt gestaltningsundersökande kring framtida kollektivboenden med levnadsrum i en kollobarativ värld”,Projektet undersöker hemmet och de normativa föreställningar som kan ligga till grund för historisk såväl som samtida och eventuellt framtida bostadsplanering. Samhället förändras och likaså hur individer, familjer och grupper lever sina liv i hem och stad. En viktig omställningsprocess inom fältet för inredningsarkitektur och möbelformgivning är att omformulera och åstadkomma planering för en mer hållbar framtida värld. De liv som kan levas nu har blivit associerade med överproduktion och överkonsumtion. Effekten av dess livsstilar sätter press på jordens naturresurser och har negativa miljö, ekonomiska, sociala. hälsoeffekter. Sättet att leva på behövs förändras för att nå ett hållbart samhälle. Att föreställa sig hur en hållbar framtid skulle kunna se ut och hur vi skulle kunna nå dit kan vara svårt. En omställning till ett hållbart samhälle behöver inte innebära uppoffringar utan det kan istället öppna upp för möjligheter att skapa nya värden och förutsättningar. I detta projekt undersöker jag hur ett sådant samhälle kan se ut. Jag utvecklar och formar ett inredning- och designförslag för ett framtida boende och visar på en del av ett framtida scenario av ett hållbart samhälle. Jag undersöker hur hemmet och dess normer ligger till grund för framtida bostadsplanering. Jag blickar framåt, genom ett spekulativt designförslag över hur framtidens boende kan utformas och hur våra liv och relationer skulle kunna te sig i ett sådant scenario, i levnadsrummen.

Volvo Group Trucks Operations tillverkar motorer, växellådor och lastbilar till koncernens varumärken Volvo, Renault, Mack och UD-Trucks. Powertrain Production är produktionsenheten inom AB Volvo som producerar dieselmotorer och motorkomponenter. I Skövde består Volvos produktionsprocesser av gjutning, bearbetning och montering. Gjuteriet använder metaller och legeringar för att producera färdiga komponenter och delar. Tillverkningsmaterialet förvaras och hämtas från fabrikens materialgård. Materialgårdens tillväxt har skett okontrollerat genom åren. Material har placerats efter möjlighet och skapat ett komplext flöde. Volvo uppfattar området vara riskfyllt på grund av det trånga utrymmet personalen delar med inkommande och utgående trafik. Logistiken upplevs därför rörig, ineffektiv och oorganiserad. Syftet var att utföra en nulägesanalys av materialgården utifrån kriterierna layout, personal och fordon, inköp och materialhantering, flöde, arbetsmätning samt riskanalys. Därefter konstruerades ett nytt förslag baserad på nulägesanalysen. Metodiken har baserats på intervjuer och observationer. Teori har studerats för att praktiskt genomföra en layoututformning, analys av logistik och flöde samt arbetsmätning och riskanalys. Revit Architecture har använts för att visa dagens layout och ett koncept av en ny materialgård. Dagbok användes som hjälpmedel efter varje besök. Resultatet av nulägesanalysen visar att aktuell layout skiljer sig avsevärt från tidigare upplägg. Logistiken och materialhantering visar en hög omsättning och ett komplext materialflöde. Arbetsmätningen indikerade på onödiga transportsträckor och långa väntetider. Riskanalysen stärkte tidigare misstankar om osäker arbetsplats. I förslaget på ny layout presenteras ett upplägg baserat på ”Struktur, Effektivitet och Säkerhet” med en avsevärd minskning av både materialhantering och trafik inne på materialgården. Materialgården är ett exempel på en del av verksamheten som inte har utvecklats i takt med Volvos expansion. Det visar på en oprioriterad verksamhet där planering och struktur har varit eftersatt. För materialgården rekommenderas att Volvo ser över sin materialverksamhet och strukturerar om från grunden. Genom tydligare planering erhålls en effektivare produktion och därigenom bättre lönsamhet. Det kräver att företaget ligger steget före i utvecklingen. Åtgärder bör implementeras om gjuteriet ska uppvisa konkurrensfördelar i Volvos verksamhet.Volvo Group Trucks Operations manufactures engines, transmissions and trucks to the Groups brands Volvo, Renault, Mack and UD Trucks. Powertrain Production is the production unit within AB Volvo producing diesel engines and engine components. Volvo´s production in Skövde consists of casting, machining and assembly. The foundry uses metals and alloys to produce finished components and parts. The material is stored and retrieved from the factory´s material yard. The material yards growth has occurred uncontrollably through time. Materials have been placed according to feasibility and has created a complex flow. Volvo perceives the area to be unsafe because of the confined space the staff shares with incoming and outgoing traffic. Therefore the logistics are turbid, inefficient and disorganized. The purpose was to perform a current state analysis of the material yard based on the criteria´s layout, employees and vehicles, purchasing and material handling, material flow, work measurement and risk analysis. Subsequently a new proposal was created based on the current state analysis. The methodology was based on interviews and observations. Theory has been studied for the practical implementation of a layout design, analysis of logistics and flow as well as work measurements and a risk analysis have been performed. Revit Architecture has been used to demonstrate the current layout and a concept of a new material yard. Diary was a used tool after each visit. The result of the current state analysis shows that the current layout differs substantially from previous layout. Logistics and material handling shows a high turnover and a complex material flow. Work measurements indicate in unnecessary distances and long waits. The risk analysis strengthened earlier suspicions of an unsafe workplace. The new proposal presents a layout based on "Structure, Efficiency and Security" with a significant reduction in both material handling and traffics inside the material yard. The material yard is an example of a part in the company that has not evolved in line with Volvo´s expansion. This shows an unprioritized part of the business where planning and structure has been neglected. For the material yard it is recommended that Volvo reviews their material activities and tackle their operations from the basis. Through planning, a more efficient production is obtained and thereby improved profitability. It requires that the company is at the forefront of development. Actions should be implemented if the foundry seeks a competitive advantage in Volvo´s operations.

Full textAbstract:
This project is a study of the wastescape - a network of waste - of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack in Odisha, India. The study incorporates key locations, e.g. landfills, urban wastelands and waste warehouses; major actors in the formal and informal waste sector; and flows of waste through economic and social systems. Drawing from the studies, multiple interventions within the wastescape are proposed for improvement of the economic, ecologic and social situation. An important aspect of the project is the development of an approach for how to, as architects, work with big, complex, contingent networks; how to map and understand such a system; and how to determine where to intervene. To improve the existing wastescape, interventions must consciously and holistically address multiple scales; levels of formal-informal; and phases within the waste cycle. The study includes a vast amount of possible interventions. Some of the interventions are further detailed to show feasibility; impact on the wastescape; and synergies with other interventions within the wastescape.Projektet “Wastescape of Bhubaneswar & Cuttack” är en studie av ett nätverk av skräpflöden genom Bhubaneswar och Cuttack i Odisha, Indien. Studien inkorporerar viktiga platser, t.ex. deponier, urbana ödemarker och lokaler för skräphandel; stora aktörer i den formella och informella skräpsektorn; och flöden av skräp genom ekonomiska och sociala system. Utifrån dessa studier, ett flertal interventioner i “the wastescape” föreslås för att förbättra den ekonomiska, ekologiska och sociala situationen. En viktig aspekt av arbetet är utvecklingen av ett sätt att, som arkitekt, arbeta med storskaliga, komplexa och inter-beroende nätverk; hur sådana system kan kartläggas och förstås; samt hur det går att avgöra vart och hur interventioner passar in i “the wastescape”. För att förbättra “the wastescape”, interventioner måste medvetet och holistiskt adressera multipla skalor; nivåer av formell-informell; och faser i skräpets kretslopp. Studien innehåller ett stort nummer av möjliga interventioner. Några av dessa interventioner är ytterligare detaljerade för att visa på genomförbarhet; påverkan på “the wastescape”; och synergier gentemot andra interventioner i “the wastescape”.
