Some would say today’s villas lacks interesting architecture. Little variation and frankly, uninteresting. In this thesis, investigations will be made towards figuring out if this is what the Swedish people want, or if given the possibility, they would pick something different from what is available and also, which qualities they look for in their home. This is what this thesis will look into. In order to answer this question, information needed to be obtained, information which was attained through a survey that was sent out to the Swedish people. And interviews that was sent to architects and house brokers in different parts of Sweden. The response rate was 221 answers from the people, 8 answers from the brokers and 9 answers from the architects. With these answers the result was divided into 5 groups to see if there was a difference according to the participants age. The result showed that the swedes think much alike when it comes to location of their house, but when it comes to their own home, the answers are much diverse even though some specifications are more appreciated than others. / Vissa skulle säga att dagens villor saknar intressant arkitektur. Det är lite variation och uppriktigt sagt är de tråkiga. I denna avhandling kommer undersökningar att göras för att ta reda på om detta är vad människor vill ha eller om de hade valt något helt annat än vad som finns tillgängligt om möjligheten gavs, samt vilka kvalitéer de letar efter i sitt hem.  Detta är vad denna avhandling kommer att undersöka. För att svara på denna fråga behövde information inhämtas, information som erhölls genom en undersökning som skickades ut till det svenska folket, Och intervjuer som skickades till arkitekter och husmäklare i olika delar av Sverige. Svarsfrekvensen var 221 svar från folket, 8 svar från mäklarna och 9 svar från arkitekterna. Med dessa svar delades resultatet upp i 5 grupper för att se om det fanns en skillnad beroende på deltagarnas ålder. Resultatet visade att svenskarna tänker mycket lika när det gäller placeringen av deras hus, men när det gäller deras eget hem är svaren mycket olika även om vissa specifikationer är mer uppskattade än andra.

Ricksättra 1:1 är en fastighet på 42 hektar placerad i Ekerö. År 2010 fick fastighten en ny ägare med nya ambitioner, men med lite tid till förfogande har inte den nya ägaren kunnat nyttja fastigheten och föra fram utvecklingen till det som eftertraktas. Idag är platsen skonsamt använd och dess fulla potential är inte uppnådd. Uppdragsgivaren har nu kommit in i en ny fas där han nu önskar uppnå fastighetens fulla potential, detta genom att bygga ett modernt samhälle med växande möjligheter och energisnåla hus. Framtida tankar om bebyggelser finns redan hos beställaren. Det önskas byggas bland annat förskola, samlingsplatser, parker, affärer och olika typer av bostadshus med passivhus konceptet. Det finns väldigt höga tankar om Ricksättra, och det med all rätt. Man vill bygga ett samhälle med stor växande kapacitet och ett signum av modernism och miljövänlighet, aspekter som i framtiden kommer att värdesättas. Som kommun förväntas Ekerö att sätta stor vikt på området, för att ett uppbyggt Ricksättra kommer att ge ett stigande värde på staden och det i sin tur utvecklar ett positivt rykte. Arbetet syftar på att projektera bostadshus på ett specifikt valt område där illustrationer på bostadshusen tillsammans med angränsande parker och gator ska designas. Med att få detta formellt i skrift och ren planeringen kan denna rapport vara startpunkten för Rickssättras utveckling. Fokus ska ligga på beställarens krav och vad personen önskar resultatet ska bli med viss anpassning till utbildningens begränsningar. / Ricksattra 1:1 is a real estate of 42 hectare placed in Ekero. In the year 2010 the real estate got a new owner with new ambitions. But with limited time in disposal the new owner couldn’t exploit the real estate and bring forward the development to what is needed. Today the real estate is barely used and its full potential is not meet. The client has now entered a new phase where he wishes to meet that potential by building a modern society with growing opportunities and energy-saving buildings. Future thoughts of development are already in the clients mind. He wishes to build among others a preschool, mustering point, parks, stores and different types of residential buildings with the passive house concept. There are very high opinions of Ricksattra, and that rightly so. There are desires to build a society with a large growing capacity and with a hallmark of modernism and environment friendliness aspects, which in the future will be highly valued. As a county Ekero is expected to put great emphasis on this region, because a fully developed Ricksattra will give a raising value on the city, this in turn will develop a positive reputation.  The work is aimed at projecting residential building on a specific selected area where illustrations of apartment buildings along with neighboring parks and streets will be designed. By getting this formally in writing and design, this report could be the starting point for Ricksattra’s development. The emphasis will be on the customer’s requirements and he wishes the result will lead to, with some adaption to the limits of my education

Com o objetivo de evidenciar o entendimento da preservação da arquitetura moderna como patrimônio cultural, o trabalho centrou-se no estudo de um grupo de obras residenciais de arquitetura moderna, realizadas no município de São Paulo entre os anos 1950 até meados dos anos 1970, que sofreram intervenções a partir da década de 1990. Essas intervenções originaram-se de projetos arquitetônicos contemporâneos que consideraram as edificações existentes como patrimônios arquitetônicos, mesmo que não sejam edificações tombadas pelos órgãos oficiais de patrimônio cultural (municipal, estadual e federal). A pesquisa, ao examinar alguns exemplos concretos (projetos específicos), refletiu sobre um campo disciplinar de atuação do arquiteto que vem crescendo ao longo das últimas duas décadas: a intervenção em edificações existentes visando sua recuperação, consolidação ou restauro. Para viabilizar o embasamento necessário à contextualização das obras e das análises realizadas, foi possível verificar o processo de consolidação da arquitetura moderna paulista, seja através de sua historiografia, seja através dos estudos que a caracterizam como patrimônio cultural, evidenciando as especificidades para sua salvaguarda, conservação e intervenção, além de examinarem suas relações com os critérios teórico-metodológicos vigentes. Através desses pressupostos, analisamos - com o apoio de diagramas, desenhos executivos e fotos - três casas ícones da arquitetura moderna paulista: residência Olga Baeta, residência Mário Masetti e residência Fernando Millan - a primeira de autoria de Vilanova Artigas projetada em 1957 e as duas subsequentes de Paulo Mendes da Rocha, projetadas em 1969 e 1970, respectivamente - a fim de ressaltar não só a importância desses projetos como Bens Culturais, mas procurando identificar instrumentos técnico-operacionais diretamente ligados ao campo da preservação e avaliar seus resultados. / Aiming to demonstrate an understanding of the preservation of modern architecture as cultural heritage, the work focused on the study of a group of modern architecture residential works, built in São Paulo from the 1950\'s until the mid-1970\'s, which were intervened starting from the 1990\'s. Such interventions are the results of contemporary architectural projects that considered the existing buildings as architectural cultural heritage, even if the buildings were not considered so by official agencies (municipal, state, and federal). The research, when examining some concrete examples (specific projects), reflected a disciplinary field of expertise of the architect, which has grown over the past two decades: the intervention in existing buildings, aiming at their renovation, consolidation, or restoration. In order to enable the necessary foundation to contextualize the work and the performed analyses was possible to verify the consolidation process of modern paulista architecture. This was done either through its historiography or through studies that characterize it a cultural heritage, highlighting the specifics for protection, conservation, and intervention, besides examining their relationships with existing theoretical and methodological criteria. Through these assumptions, we analyzed - with the help of diagrams, technical drawings, and photos - three iconic houses of modern paulista architecture: Olga Baeta Residence, Mario Masetti Residence and Fernando Millan Residence. The first residence was designed by Vilanova Artigas in 1957 and the other two by Paul Mendes da Rocha in 1969 and 1970, respectively. We aimed to emphasize not only their importance as Cultural Property, but to identify technical and operational tools directly related to the preservation field and evaluate their results.

This study is concerned with the roles and relationships between artists-in-residence, community audiences, and program coordinators/art educators as they engage together in community arts programs. This study takes place at Project Row Houses (PRH), a community arts organization located in Houston, Texas and focuses on the artist-in-residence program, which commissions a group of national and international artists for a 6-month period to create art installations in relation to the community and its African-American heritage. This ethnographic case study is based on the activities and events surrounding the 2008 PRH exhibition, Round 29, Thunderbolt Special: The Great Electric Show and Dance, after Sam Lightnin’ Hopkins and employed qualitative data gathering methods of participant-observation, conducting semi-structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, and through document collection, and contextual information. Observations were recorded through field notes, photographs, and video. Interviews were conducted with 3 artists-in-residence, 3 community audience members, and 3 program coordinators or staff members involved with the program, regarding their experiences at the site and experiences with each other. My analysis presents the roles of artist, community audience, and program coordinator/art educator through three sections on cultural work. Within these sections I discuss topics related to the power of voice, situatedness, and creativity, as it relates to the artists and community audiences. For the role of program coordinator/art educator, I focus more closely on her role in the process of mediation. Topics of power, social dynamics, identity, and representation are also framed within these discussions.

Dissertation deals with the technical parameters of natural thermal insulation. In addition, there is a global trend in the construction of reducing energy consumption for heating, air conditioning, or with operating facilities in buildings and the use of perspective and efficient building materials with a negligible negative impact on the environment. Therefore, the attention not only professionals are increasingly turning to alternative materials, such as natural insulation, the material can be drawn from local sources and whose production is energy-saving and leaving a small ecological footprint. As part of the doctoral thesis were tested short term water absorption, measurements were made of the thermal conductivity and its change after the test short term water absorption. Was determined dependence of thermal conductivity on humidity and heat resistance was determined. Moreover a natural insulation applications in building construction with a comparison of the various technical parameters and environmental footprint. At the conclusion was made by acoustic insulation in timber construction and price analysis.
