   Sammanfattning : The focus of building design is increasingly moving towards considering performance as a driver, which can especially be seen in the realm of sustainable or green building design due to the advent of ambitious goals regarding energy consumption and emissions. Accounting for these concerns is an important target of the building design process, where there is a potential to make valuable contributions. LÄS MER

5. 24. High-Performance Building Design and Decision-Making Support for Architects in the Early Design Phases

   Författare :Juan Ren; Ivo Martinac; Yu Liu; Angela Sasic Kalagasidis; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :High-performance building HPB ; sustainable performance; design decision making; building environmental assessment BEA tools; architects; design decision elements; sources of inspiration;

   Sammanfattning : Based on the design decision making process from an architect’s point of view, a related literature review, theoretical analyses, and inductive inferences, this thesis proposes a new interpretation of high-performance building (HPB), translates/maps criteria issues related to building environmental assessment (BEA) tools for key design decision making elements, and identifies sources of inspiration for HPB designs. This thesis intends to propose an integrated conceptual model for the design of HPBs to provide direct knowledge-based decision making support to architects in the early design phase. LÄS MER

7. 25. Vackert och värdigt : Liturgiska textilier från svenska ateljéer 1880 - 1930

   Författare :Margareta Ridderstedt; Margaretha Rossholm Lagerlöf; Pia Bengtsson Melin; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; konstvetenskap; Art History;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the production of liturgical textiles in five Swedish studios between 1880 and 1930. It is based on a survey of what was delivered to and preserved in the buildings of the Church of Sweden, more than 4,000 recorded objects. LÄS MER
