    Spaces of Residence - Chalmers architects on residential qualities Eds. Ola Nylander, Sten Gromark, Fredrik Nilsson & Christina Redvall, Axl books, Stockholm 2007, Swedish, With contributions by Ola Nylander, Sten Gromark, Fredrik Nilsson, Christina Redvall, Kaj Granath, Sören Olson, Katrin Paadam, Anna Eriksson, Karin Drakenberg, Håkan Trygged, Maria Sandqvist, Petter Lodmark & Jenny Ström Hansson. For most human beings the residence represents without any doubt the most intimate relation to and the most fundamental encounter with architecture. Material properties and organizational structures of residential spaces highly condition our ways of residing. And yet our ways of relating to residence shape the ways the built structures are identified and created, also based upon a continuity of our evolving desires and changing demands, ultimately bringing new form to our residential spaces. When emerging societal and cultural transformations profoundly alters our perceptions of traditional residential typologies and conventions the field is open for radically new spatial concepts to be sometimes suddenly born. University education in housing and residential design is, on the one hand, often focused on the preservation of experiences and genuine knowledge acquired in the past and, on the other hand, at the best simultaneously looking forward towards continuously ongoing acts of twofold and multifaceted social and architectural invention. This necessary double way of looking is one of the major ambitions behind the book Spaces of Residence, where we want to present moments, fragments and excerpts as reflections emanating from the constant and long term evolution of a well established activity of combined training and research on housing and residential architecture at Chalmers School of Architecture, Göteborg, Sweden

    Architecture in Effect Vol #1(2) : Rethinking the Social in Architecture – Making Effects

    No full text
    Architecture in Effect  is a substantial double volume that compiles 50 essays emerging from the architectural research environment of Sweden and drawing on a complex matrix of international collaborations. A central premise of the collected research is to question the relationship between the built environment and societal norms and to interrogate architecture’s role in these co-constitutive processes. The Architecture in Effect project is concerned with how contemporary political and environmental conditions place specific demands on society and on the everyday life of individuals. Architectural researchers have the capacity to both initiate and criticize architectural production and culture amidst existing and emerging societies. Architecture in Effect is published by Actar Barcelona New York (2019). Rethinking the Social in Architecture: Making Effects Volume 01 Edited by Sten Gromark, Jennifer Mack, Roemer van Toorn That architecture serves as the setting for social actions, activities, and content is not a new idea. That the architectural project can precipitate crucial social change, even transgression, is a far more modern and disputed claim. Spatial design in society has recently shifted away from universal solutions toward satisfying specific market orientated interests. The time is now to reclaim architecture’s role in promoting political, economic, ecological, and cultural transformations. The radicality of architecture is renewed in the exploration of novel and unforeseen possibilities: making effects
