På baggrund af forundersøgelsen blev der indstillet et areal på cirka 20.000 m2 til egentlig arkæologisk udgravning. Under forundersøgelsen og udgravningen blev der registreret bebyggelsesspor primært i form af hustomter fra den sidste del af bronzealderen og frem til ældre germansk jernalder. Fundene tolkes som spredte gårdsenheder med tilhørende aktivitetsområder i form af gruber og kogegruber. Fundene indgår i et større bebyggelseskompleks, som gennem det seneste årti er afdækket i Køge Nord
The Afterlife of Pilgrim Signs in Europe:use, re-use and ritual practice
No full textTo date, over 30,000 finds of religious souvenirs (pilgrim signs) from different parts of Europe are recorded inpublicly accessible databases. Such items are traditionally considered sources for understanding religious industry,travel and networks. The perception has been that their role was generally over as soon as they were nolonger a part of the pilgrim’s personal equipment. However, artefact studies using public finds databases showmany examples with traces of extensive wear and modification. This indicates that they might have had anextended afterlife in different contexts as items laden with religious symbolism and inherent powers. As such,they were a part of everyday life as objects of use, handled in pragmatic ways that included reshaping, cutting,piercing and bending. This should be taken into consideration when interpreting their find contexts, and howthey are deposited in their owners’ surroundings, whether in water, wetlands, cultural layers, buildings, burialsor incorporated in church furnishing
The Matter of Relations:a critical materialist approach to place attachment and regeneration through a Danish social housing estate
No full textRecently, ‘place attachment’ has become relevant in understanding social and socio-spatial disruptions in the wake of increased urban regeneration programs following the European transition to neoliberalist policies. Taking seriously the profound social disruptions that regeneration projects may cause, regenerative policies are problematic because they imply that spatial transformations will have only positive effects on social life. Applying a critical materialist perspective, we unfold how residents of a Danish social housing estate relate to one another through the material and spatial properties of specific architectural elements. We demonstrate how the physical environment is profoundly intertwined with the social, both relationally and ontologically, producing particular understandings of the world and enabling specific social relations and social orderings to form. Scrutinizing residents’ sentiments of place attachment in light of spatial regeneration, we show how changes to key elements in the built environment may have non-resolvable consequences for local social lives and render regeneration projects devastating to residents’ attachments to their neighborhood
The reproduction of fire-born soot for comparative cleaning tests on heritage objects
No full textThis work describes the design of reproducible mock-ups with controlled soot deposition, created to support comparative cleaning tests within the EU Horizon MOXY project. The latter develops atmospheric, plasma-generated, monoatomic oxygen as a cleaning method to remove (amongst others) fire-born soot from heritage objects. A literature review highlights the complexity of soot while revealing a lack of focus on the representativeness of artificial soot in previous studies. We benchmarked two approaches: (I) indirect/cold application of pre-fabricated soot and (II) direct/hot application via ongoing combustion. The results demonstrate that direct combustion yields soot with markedly different physical and chemical characteristics. Chemical analysis (Raman, XRPD, TGA, EGA-MS, XPS) and microscopic imaging (3D optical, SEM) revealed differences in composition, morphology, and deposition behaviour on substrates like paper, silk, paint and plaster. We selected the ‘smoke drum’ method as the most practical and reproducible approach for mimicking fire-born soot in heritage cleaning research
Skabt til at gå tabt. Festudsmykninger i København 1700-1840
No full textIkke al kunst er skabt til eftertiden – noget er skabt til at gå tabt. Sådan var det med den kunst, der i enevældens tid skulle markere fester i kongehuset. Gigantiske æresporte og søjlehaller skød pludselig op på byens pladser, udsmykket med skulpturer og lysende malerier. Bygninger blev pakket ind i silke, dækket med blomster eller forklædt som templer. Men det, der lignede marmor, var i virkeligheden træ, lærred, gips og papmaché. Alle de eventyrlige billeder og bygninger forsvandt igen som dug for sole

Get PDFModelling Social Housing:Exploring the Interplay of Social Life and Built Environments on European Social Housing Estates
No full textThe book Modelling Social Housing delves into the intricate relationship between everyday social life and the architectural landscapes of social housing across European cities.Focusing on social housing across multiple temporal and socio-cultural European urban settings, the book traces how the confluence of distributed knowledges, technological resources, and architectural histories may have considerable effects across different scales, ranging from everyday interactions to welfare planning and economic policies. To capture these intricate socio-spatial relations, the book introduces the concept of ‘social urban modelling’ as a novel analytical approach to social housing research. Spanning historical trajectories, contemporary challenges and future potentials, this book brings together scholars from diverse fields including architecture, history, anthropology, sociology, geography and art history. Through examinations of architectural designs, urban planning assemblages, contemporary redevelopment projects and everyday appropriations by residents, this book unveils the intricate layers of social housing dynamics in European cities. From the adoption of Mediterranean and Islamic architectural typologies in mid-20th century Denmark to the innovative bureaucratic structures of the London County Council in post-war Britain, each chapter provides new insights into the spatial and social transformations of European social housing. Through empirical cases from across Europe, we ask: How might resident-driven initiatives reshape urban landscapes? What are the implications of densification processes on social housing estates? And how do private investors influence the social fabric of these communities?With its timely interdisciplinary exploration of the modelling capacities of social housing estates, this book will provide an indispensable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in housing studies, urban development and architectural history
