Dokk1: La co-creazione come nuovo metodo di lavoro in biblioteca
No full textQuesto articolo presenta Dokk1, rappresentante della nuova generazione di biblioteche ibride e moderne. Dokk1 è co-creato con gli utenti, i partner e i portatori di interesse. È divenuto uno spazio bibliotecario aperto e flessibile che utilizza anche la tecnologia come mezzo per invitare gli utenti a diventare parte dello spazio stesso. Utilizzando nuovi metodi di lavoro basati sul design thinking, anche la co-creazione diviene una fase dello sviluppo di nuovi servizi e spazi e un nuovo modo di lavorare per il personale bibliotecario. Dokk1 è una biblioteca per le persone, non per i libri. Essa rappresenta uno spostamento nello sviluppo bibliotecario dall’orientamento al mezzo a quello verso i cittadini. Una biblioteca orientata ai cittadini necessita di co-creazione a livelli differenti, ad esempio: 1) un nuovo modo di lavorare, ovvero diventare una biblioteca guidata dal design, 2) spazi aperti che permettano ai cittadini, ai partner e alla biblioteca di fare cose insieme e 3) tecnologia che supporti il fatto che la biblioteca appartiene ai suoi utilizzatori.This article presents Dokk1 as an example of the new generation of modern, hybrid libraries. Dokk1 is co-created with users, partners and stakeholders. It has become an open, flexible library space that also uses technology as a way to invite the users to become part of the space. Using design thinking as a new way of working, co-creation also becomes a part of developing new services and spaces and a new way of working for the library staff. Dokk1 is a library for people, not for books. It represents the shift in library development from being media oriented to being citizen-oriented. A citizen-oriented library requires co-creation on different levels, for example: 1) a new way of working and becoming a design driven library; 2) open spaces that allows citizens, partners and the library to do things together and 3) technology that supports the fact that this library belongs to the users

No full textConvened by Prof. Sofia Pantouvaki, the second biennial conference and exhibition was held at Aalto University. With over 300 delegates and an acceptance rate of 47%, Critical Costume 2015 recognised an international appetite for new thinking and practice on costume. The event included keynotes from Prof. Deborah Nadoolman Landis (UCLA) and Prof. Peter McNeil (University of Technology Sydney). Costume Presentation/ Performance: The Scenographic Costume, Exploring performative Costumes. In collaboration with Scenographer C. Hatton, Bech presented a large-scale scenographic costume. Through performance, Bech explored the dramaturgical DNA of costume

"Forget who we are and let the people free" : changing Christianities and tradition in post tsunami Samoa
No full textIn September 2009, the south Pacific islands of Samoa were hit by a tsunami causing severe material damage and casualties. Based on empirical data from two tsunami affected villages, this thesis explores how members of the affected populations make sense the tsunami and engage in post disaster processes of social change. As will be illustrated, religious interpretations of the tsunami were expressed and emphasised by people in the affected villages, incorporating the disaster into existing catagories and Christian cosmologies of divine agency, the Second Coming, morality and tradition. This thesis analyses how people actively act upon their understandings of disaster in post tsunami processes of social and religious change. Taking a processual approach to diasters, I explore how ongoing processes of religious change, social and economic conditions and development in traditional practices have interacted with the disaster situation. The thesis analyses how local actors make sense of the tsunami according to their religious affiliations and make use of these interpretations in bringing about or opposing religious change in the disaster aftermath
Fatigue properties of duplex stainless steel
No full textPFC presentat a Oslo University CollegeThe aim of the project is to study fatigue properties of duplex stainless steel used for a
bridge. The samples had to be tested and the results have to be compared with the
theory, studied before. Six specimens have been broken by tensile fatigue testing
machine in order to get more knowledge about the lifetime and the behavior under
dynamic stress and not only for welded parts. Out of this new knowledge a new fatigue
curve for this material could be created
