1. 6. Attractiveness in Urban Design : A study of the production of attractive places

   Författare :Erik Hidman; Kristina L. Nilsson; Björn Ekelund; Anna-Johanna Klasander; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; attractiveness; urban design; urban critical studies; production of space; Architecture; Arkitektur;

   Sammanfattning : This research project investigates the production of attractive places, through theory form and everyday life. The research study was originally sprung from practical questions regarding the extensive use of the term attractiveness in urban planning and design. LÄS MER

4. 8. The Social Roles of Buildings : An Account of Materiality and Meaning in Urban Outcomes

   Författare :Lauren Dean; Jens Rydgren; Charlotta Stern; Harvey Molotch; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Buildings; Building Types; Urban Studies; Materiality; Culture; Urban Forms; Urban Space; Reuse; Neighborhoods; Sociology of Buildings; Theory; Visual Methods; Historical Analysis; Santiago; Chile; Cités; Sociology; sociologi;

   Sammanfattning : The dissertation explores the roles of buildings in urban social life. Buildings, as both a methodological tool and a research site, are valuable for understanding society. As a method, buildings allow access to various urban contexts. LÄS MER

5. 9. Towards a Minor Urbanism : Thinking Community without Unity in Recent Makings of Public Space

   Författare :Ida Sandström; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Public Space; Spaces of Being-in-Common; Spaces of Collective Care; Minor Urbanism; Community without Unity; Community; Urban design; Urban space; City park; Urban planning; Co-Production; Urban Participation; Urbanism; Difference; Spaces of difference; Diversity; Spaces of diversity; offentliga rum; offentliga platser; urban arkitektur; Planering; mångfald; torg och parker; Urban design; urban gemenskap; urbanism; medborgardeltagande; medborgarengagemang; planeringspraktiker; gestaltad livsmiljö;

   Sammanfattning : HOW CAN WE PLAN AND DESIGN FOR community in diverse urban situations? In response to segregation and social fragmentation, public space is increasingly being conceived of as a vehicle for fostering openness towards differences, both in planning practice and theory. Drawing on two recent public space projects – Superkilen in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Jubileumsparken in Gothenburg, Sweden – this thesis explores what this hopeful idea may mean in terms of the actual making of public space.

7. 10. Computer Simulations in Materials Physics: Time-scales and Accuracy

   Författare :Urban Engberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; basis sets; computer simulations; pseudopotentials; materials physics; density functional theory; transition state theory; O N ; quantum Monte Carlo;

   Sammanfattning : Computer simulations are expected to play an increasingly important role within materials physics in the future. Owing to a combination of accurate physical approximations, improved implementations of these approximations, and the exponentially increasing power of computers, problems can now be solved on length and time-scales which were unimaginable only a decade ago.
