The construction industry works today with a time limit, therefore it is important to have rational tools to improve the efficiency in the building process. That’s the reason for this report, where a standard for interior finishes has been developed for Sandvik. The standard for interior finishes is designed as a program for room functions and includes office space and sanitary areas. It is a proposal showing how Sandvik can design their premises in the future. Today there is a special constructions department which deals with all projects in the area. The problem is, however, that everyone works on the basis of their own experiences which have caused the lack of uniformity in the facilities of Sandvik. The starting point to enable this study has been how Sandvik’s offices and premises look today. Among other things their finishes have been studied, interviews with concerned people have been made and the function of the main repository has been explored. What the people at the constructions department start with at new projects and why has also been studied. The interviewed persons are mainly employees at the constructions department, but also other people involved in Sandvik’s projects. In order to make different standpoints in the choice of materials in the premises a study of those has been made. The selected materials are presented in the standard for interior finishes, where as much information as possible has been included. For surfaces have suppliers, colour and material been clarified. Suppliers have been determined for the firm interior equipment, while the manufacture has been selected for the movable furniture. The standard for interior finishes is supplemented with drawings to illustrate what the rooms may look like, but also to provide a simple way to show adequate places for firm interior equipment. Sandvik’s vision is to be a successful company. The hope with the standardisation is to streamline the building process and thereby make gains in both time and money. To obtain a better working environment and thereby make the employers feel better is also a purpose for this report. / I den allt mer stressade byggbranschen är det viktigt att få rationella verktyg att arbeta efter för att effektivisera projekteringsarbetet. Det är anledningen till att denna rapport gjorts, där en rumsstandard tagits fram åt Sandvik. Rumsstandarden är utformad som ett rumsfunktionsprogram och omfattar kontorsutrymmen samt våtrum. Det är ett förslag på hur Sandvik kan utforma sina lokaler i framtiden. Idag finns en särskild byggnadsavdelning på området som sköter all projektering. Problemet är dock att alla arbetar utifrån sina egna erfarenheter, vilket har skapat oenhetlighet i deras lokaler. För att möjliggöra denna studie har utgångspunkten varit hur det ser ut idag i Sandviks kontor och lokaler. Bland annat har deras ytskikt studerats, intervjuer med berörda personer har gjorts och funktionen i centralförrådet har utforskats. Även vad de utgår från vid nya projekt samt varför har undersökts. Personer som intervjuats är främst personal på byggnadsavdelningen, men också andra involverade personer vid deras projekt. För att kunna göra olika ställningstaganden vid val av ytskikt med mera, har en materialstudie gjorts. Valen presenteras sedan i rumsstandarden där så mycket information som möjligt har tagits med. För ytskikten har leverantörer, kulör och material preciserats. Vad gäller fast inredning har fabrikat bestämts, medan endast leverantör har valts för lös inredning. Rumsstandarden kompletteras med ritningar för att illustrera hur rummen kan komma att se ut, men även för att på ett enkelt sätt visa lämplig placering av fast inredning. Sandviks vision är att vara ett framgångsrikt aktiebolag. Genom standardiseringen är förhoppningen att rationalisera projekteringen och därigenom göra vinster i både tid och pengar. Målet är även att erhålla en bättre arbetsmiljö och på så vis få personalen att trivas bättre.

Diss. Stockholm : Kungliga Tekniska högskolan, 2007.

A couple of years ago, I received a Sami drinking vessel called “goksie” (in umesamiska) from my dad. The fact that it was my grandmother’s who had crafted it some time around the 70’s was news to me. The goksie has been closely investigated as a part of this thesis and a way for me to reconnect with the Sami culture. The more I learned during this investigation the more I considered to follow my grandmother’s footsteps exploring and crafting my own goksie and reclaiming knowledge through the process of making. Through this journey, questions about architecture and cultural identity evolved.Due to the degrading views of Sami culture that many generations have experienced in the history, a lot of Sami cut ties with their background. The colonization of Sápmi have contributed to the loss of Sami culture in different ways. Except from appropriating the land that the Sami used, the Swedish state split the Sami people by deciding who was the “real” and “authentic” Sami and who wasn’t. The Sami was considered racially inferior predestined only for reindeer herding. It becomes clear that the colonization affected generations like my grandmother when realizing that the consequences can be traced all the way to myself not having the knowledge to create my own goksie or the cultural heritage of speaking Sami. Being Sami today can therefore, from my perspective, relate to a feeling of loss and a fragmented identity. Except reconnecting with my own Sami heritage, the making of the goksie has become a method for collaborative work creating relationships with newly discovered relatives and people from the Sami community. Interviews with Sami and non-Sami operators working on different national levels and with different issues has also been an important method to gather information. The methodologies are based on the strategy of “digging were I stand” - a way to learn more about my own history and through that knowledge reveal stories and voices of others, adapt to the needs and aspiration of the community, break free from stereotypes and simplified images about the cultural community and to always be critical are some of the guidelines that have constituted the Preface7role of the architect within this project. It is difficult to find a wider discussion about Sami typology and architecture on the Swedish side of Sápmi, concerning both traditional and contemporary structures. The colonization has left marks even within contemporary architecture designed by non-Sami were the stereotype and romantic image of the culture becomes dominant. Is it enough to symbolize the Sami culture with simple forms and expressions or are there other values that enrich not only the Sami community but also the view of architecture? In order to give something back to the Sami community this thesis explores how to create a space were knowledge can be reclaimed and passed on, proposing a building located in Malå in the county of Västerbotten. The aim is to combine traditional Sami building techniques with modern and contemporary solutions as well as to reflect on the typology of the South Sami kåta, the nomadic lifestyle and trying to understand the full complexity of Sami building traditions. In a wider context, the Sami Competence centre aims to ensure that the integrity of traditional Sami knowledge is maintained for generations to come.
