It also has as a basis to analyze production articulated this same furniture and modern residential architecture in São Paulo. At that time, the company formed by architects Store Branco & Preto and the new political moment that permeated the national scene encouraged the insertion and led to the consolidation of the modern ideas in São Paulo. This production meant by the contribution of the furniture store Branco & Preto, a synonym of partnership and cooperation, to act as a mediator of the interrelationship between the mobile and residential architecture itself. The overall goal is to demonstrate and characterize the necessary relationship between modern architecture and furniture produced during the stated period, which was provided by the dissemination and assimilation in Brazil's modernist ideas and practices. The furniture designed these years came from a line produced with refinement and excess ornaments and consisted of an inseparable element of the expression of that architecture. Thus, the research assumes that the relationship between the interior spaces and architectural shell found in the furniture of the main supports of expression forefront. Moreover, it is inevitable considering the fact that the furniture expresses cultural values, aesthetic, economic and social aggregates, themes that enrich and make it complex to its specific characteristics and artistic influences, as well as production techniques. The issues raised will be evidenced by reconstituting, through drawings and models Branco & Preto Store located in Rua Vieira de Carvalho, the reconstructions of the halls of residence and the residence of Roberto Aflalo Pacaembu - designs of architects Plinio Croce and Roberto Aflalo 1955 in reconstructions of the living room of the house Maria Luisa and Oscar Americano 1952 and the first floor of the residence, 1956 Jardim America - both designs of architect Oswaldo Arthur Bratke, besides the development of drawings and models of mobile unpublished authored by members of store. / A presente pesquisa traça um panorama da arquitetura e do mobiliário produzido no Brasil desde o início do século XX, dando destaque para o móvel moderno brasileiro produzido entre as décadas de 1950 e 1970 e para a arquitetura residencial burguesa. Tem também como base analisar a produção articulada desse mesmo mobiliário e da arquitetura residencial moderna paulistana. Naquele período, a sociedade formada pelos arquitetos da loja Branco & Preto e o novo momento político que permeava o cenário nacional incentivaram a inserção e levaram à consolidação do ideário moderno em São Paulo. Essa produção significou, mediante a contribuição da loja de móveis Branco & Preto, um sinônimo de parceria e cooperação, ao atuar como mediadora da inter-relação entre o móvel e a arquitetura residencial propriamente dita. O objetivo geral é evidenciar e caracterizar a relação necessária entre a arquitetura moderna e o mobiliário produzido no período supracitado, que foi proporcionada pela disseminação e assimilação no Brasil do ideário e das práticas modernistas. O mobiliário projetado nesses anos vinha de uma linha produzida com requinte e excesso de ornamentos e consistia em elemento indissociável da expressão daquela arquitetura. Sendo assim, a pesquisa parte do pressuposto de que a relação entre os espaços internos e a casca arquitetônica encontrava no mobiliário um dos principais suportes de expressão de vanguarda. Ademais, é inevitável considerarmos o fato de que o mobiliário expressa valores culturais, estéticos, econômicos e sociais agregados, temas que o enriquecem e tornam complexas as suas características específicas e influências artísticas, bem como as técnicas de produção. As questões levantadas serão evidenciadas com a reconstituição, através de desenhos e maquetes da loja Branco & Preto localizada na Rua Vieira de Carvalho, nas reconstituições das salas da residência de Roberto Aflalo e da residência Pacaembu projetos dos arquitetos Plínio Croce e Roberto Aflalo de 1955, nas reconstituições da sala de estar da residência Maria Luisa e Oscar Americano de 1952 e do primeiro pavimento da residência Jardim América de 1956 ambos projetos do arquiteto Oswaldo Arthur Bratke, além do desenvolvimento de desenhos e maquetes de móveis inéditos de autoria dos membros da loja.

Bien que peu connue, la collection Watson-Taylor fut indiscutablement l’une des plus importantes des années 1820 en Angleterre. Elle se distingue par la personnalité particulière de son inventeur qui réunit entre 1803 et 1821 une collection prestigieuse digne des grands ensembles aristocratiques. Cependant, la fortune de George Watson-Taylor reposant sur le marché du sucre de canne aux Antilles, instable et en déclin, il subit un revers de fortune en 1832 l’obligeant à vendre tous ses biens. Il acquit près de trois cent vingt tableaux parmi lesquels de nombreux chefs-d’œuvre aujourd’hui conservés dans les musées du monde entier. La recherche sur cette collection et ce personnage interroge de nombreux aspects de l’histoire de l’art et des collections à cette période charnière, notamment la question de la spéculation, du connoisseurship, du marché de l’art, du rôle du mécénat dans l’affirmation de l’école britannique de peinture dans son pays et à l’international. Elle s’intéresse également au mouvement historiciste de cette époque encore empreinte de la pensée et de l’esthétique romantique, mais aussi aux questions identitaires propres à l’émergence de nouvelles élites. Autant de sujets liés à un contexte très riche mêlant patriotisme, débat sur l’abolition de l’esclavage et réforme de la vie politique. Elle ouvre une nouvelle fenêtre sur le passage d’un collectionnisme d’Ancien Régime hérité du Grand Tour à un collectionnisme victorien davantage tourné vers l’art national et contemporain. Cette thèse a pour but d’analyser une collection célébrée puis oubliée et de déterminer sa place dans l’histoire du goût et des collections en l’Angleterre à la fin de la période Regency. / Even if it isn’t well-known nowadays, the Watson-Taylor collection was indisputably one of the most important collections of the 1820s in Great Britain. It distinguished itself by the distinctive personality of its founder who assembled between 1803 and 1821 a collection as prestigious as great aristocratic ones. However, George Watson-Taylor’s wealth resting on the instable and declining West Indian sugar market, he suffered a reversal of fortune in 1832, forcing him to sell all his properties. He acquired nearly three hundred and twenty paintings including many masterpieces now exhibited in museums all over the world. Research on these collection and figure questions many aspects of the history of art and collections at this pivotal period, in particular issues like speculation, connoisseurship, art market, the role of patronage in the recognition of the British school of painting in its own country and internationally. It also treats of the historicist movement, still tinged with Romantic thought and aesthetic in that period, and of the identity issues related to the emergence of new elites. Many topics linked to a very rich context involving patriotism, debate about the abolition of slavery and political reform. It provides new information about the passage between the ways of collecting inherited from the Grand Tour, and the Victorian ones more focused on national and contemporary art. This doctoral thesis aims to analyze a celebrated then forgotten collection and to determine its place in the history of taste and collecting in Great Britain at the end of the Regency era.

Andelen miljöcertifierade byggnader har under 2000-talet ökat. Inom kommersiella fastigheter är det numera inte lika ovanligt att kontor miljöcertifieras och en ny aspekt har etablerat sig bland certifieringssystemen - människans välbefinnande. WELL Building Standard är ett hälsocertifieringssystem som sätter människan i centrum. Systemet har under 2017 gjort inträde på den svenska marknaden och det första projektet står klart för verifiering under våren 2018. Detta projekt är Castellums huvudkontor i fastigheten Klassföreståndaren 3 i Stockholm, även kallad Flat Iron Building. Syftet med studien är att bidra till större kunskap om WELL Building Standard under svenska förhållanden och underlätta fortsatt etablering av hälsosamma byggnader. Målsättningen med studien är att identifiera lärdomar från certifieringen av projektet enligt WELL Building Standard - New &amp; Existing Interiors - genom att besvara följande frågeställningar: <ol type="1">Hur förhåller sig det slutgiltiga resultatet i Flat Iron Building gentemot intentionerna med att   certifiera projektet och syftet med WELL Building Standard? Med avseende på Flat Iron Building i Stockholm, vilka utmaningar finns vid kombination av de sju koncepten i WELL Building Standard samt svenska lagar och regler? Hur arbetar olika aktörer vid införande av hälsocertifieringen WELL Building Standard i Flat Iron Building? För att undersöka implementering av en hälsocertifiering i projektet utfördes en genomgång av litteratur inom svensk lagstiftning och regelverk, miljöcertifieringssystem samt hälsocertifieringar. Litteraturgenomgången innefattar en kartläggning av WELL Building Standard gentemot Arbetsmiljöverkets föreskrifter, Boverkets byggregler, Miljöbyggnad och LEED. I undersökningen utfördes även en fallstudie med kvalitativa intervjuer och platsbesök. Intervjuerna genomfördes med involverade aktörer samt brukare av kontoret. Studien ger unika lärdomar gällande projektets intentioner och utfall, hur implementeringen av indikatorer kan utföras i Sverige samt arbetssätt vid genomförande av en hälsocertifiering. Exempelvis kan WELL, enligt studien, användas som verktyg för att uppnå beställarens målsättning. Studien lyfter fram både utmaningar och vad som underlättats när systemet kombineras med de svenska regleringar som styr byggandet, där utmaningar redogjorts i projektet kopplat till avsaknad av produktinformation gällande VOC-värden i möbler på den svenska marknaden. Arbetssättet vid WELL Building Standard kan enligt fallet likställas med hur aktörer arbetar i ett miljöcertifieringsprojekt. Likt ett sådant projekt krävs samarbete mellan samtliga inblandade parter. Vidare kan ytterligare lärdomar hämtas i studien som kan användas för att underlätta etablering av fler WELL-projekt. Dessa lärdomar är bland annat kopplade till tidsplanering, kommunikation, kunskap och stöd - däribland vikten av att få WELL att genomsyra alla steg av processen från planering till drift av fastigheten. Avslutningsvis kan de lärdomar som presenteras i detta examensarbete vara till nytta för den som innehar en samordnande roll i byggprojekt och vill arbeta med implementering av WELL Building Standard på den svenska marknaden. Studien kan även användas som referens vid fortsatt forskning inom WELL. / The number of certified green buildings has increased during the 21st century. Within commercial properties, such as offices, it is no longer unusual to use green building rating systems. Hence, new types of rating systems have arisen - those that promote human well-being. The WELL Building Standard is one of these new rating systems that puts the people inside the building at the centre. In 2017, the WELL Building Standard accessed the Swedish market and the first project is ready for Performance Verification in spring 2018. The project is Castellum’s Headquarter in Stockholm with property designation Klassföreståndaren 3, also known as the Flat Iron Building. The aim with this study is to contribute to a greater knowledge of how WELL Building Standard can be used in Sweden and thereby facilitate further establishment of buildings that promotes health and well-being of the building’s occupants. The objective with this study is to identify lessons learned from the certification process of the project according to WELL Building Standard - New &amp; Existing Interiors - by answering the following research questions: What is the outcome of the project in Flat Iron Building in relation to the intentions with using the rating system and the purpose of WELL Building Standard? Regarding Flat Iron Building in Stockholm, which challenges exists when combining the seven concepts of WELL Building Standard and Swedish legislation? How does project stakeholders collaborate during the implementation of WELL Building Standard in Flat Iron Building? To investigate the implementation of a wellness-oriented rating system a literature review about Swedish legislation was conducted. The review includes an overview of how WELL Building Standard compares to The Swedish Work Environment Authority’s Statute Book (AFS); National Board of Housing, Building and Planning’s Building Regulations (BBR); Miljöbyggnad and LEED. Within the investigation a case study with qualitative interviews was conducted, as well as an on-site visit at the headquarter. The interviews were held with different stakeholders in the project. The study contributes to unique lessons about the intentions and outcome of the project, how features can be implemented in Sweden and how project stakeholders collaborate during implementation of a wellness-oriented rating system. According to the study WELL can be used as a tool to achieve the property owner’s objectives. Furthermore, the study demonstrates features which are challenging or uncomplicated when combined with Swedish legislation. One of the challenges described in the project is the absence of product information regarding VOC values in furniture available on the Swedish market. The study demonstrates that collaboration between stakeholders in a WELL Building Standard project is similar with a green building project. In both cases it is important with cooperation between all parties involved. Further lessons can be found in the study to facilitate establishment of WELL-projects. These lessons are related to time management, communication, knowledge and support - for instance the importance of incorporating WELL in the entire building process from planning to management. The lessons presented in this master thesis can serve those who hold a coordinating position in construction projects and is interested in implementing WELL Building Standard in Sweden. The study can also be used as a reference in further research within WELL.

Questa tesi esamina il significato e il ruolo che lo spazio ha assunto nella vita e nell’opera di Harriet Martineau. Nella prima parte della tesi l’attaccamento al – o il rifiuto del – luogo, i.e., la casa, è stato ritenuto significativo per lo sviluppo identitario e il senso di benessere esperiti da Martineau. Il racconto economico di Martineau datato 1834 e intitolato The Land’s End è stato scelto invece quale focus nella seconda parte della tesi – scelta basata sulla possibilità di illustrare una strategia narrativa che si avvale dell’utilizzo concreto e simbolico di immagini spaziali da parte della scrittrice. / This dissertation examines the meaning and the role of place in Harriet Martineau’s life and work. In the first part of the dissertation, the attachment to – or rejection of – place, i.e. home, has been acknowledged as significant in Martineau’s development of self-identity and feeling of well-being. Moreover, Martineau’s 1834 economic tale entitled The Land’s End has been chosen as the focus for the second part of the dissertation – a choice based on the possibility of showing the woman writer’s narrative strategy and use of space images in both a concrete and symbolic way.

Understanding the complexities of the interior of planets and stars requires the help of analyzing the effects of high pressures on certain elements believed to be found within. The Hartree-Fock method uses the Schr¨odinger equation, Kummer’s differential equations and a confinement potential to simulate an atom being squeezed to high pressures. The Hartree-Fock method was used to calculate the total energies of atoms. After being compared to Gaussian03 and VASP, the results were deemed accurate. It was also observed that the pressure versus density data closely approximated those pairs found in outer space in the interiors of, for example, Jupiter.

[pt] A cor é inerente à experiência visual humana, sendo um atributo importante do projeto do ambiente construído nos Estabelecimentos Assistenciais de Saúde (EAS). Nos EAS a cor tem usos diversificados. Sob o viés funcional os códigos da linguagem cromática conformam a cor-informação com o sentido de auxiliar no desempenho do espaço. Ao tratar da orientação espacial do usuário, essa abordagem é pelo wayfinding, para o uso da cor-informação nos sistemas informacionais do ambiente construído – arquitetura, objetos e mensagens adicionais. Esses sistemas são pertinentes aos campos da Arquitetura, do Design de Interiores e do Design Gráfico. A partir do entendimento de que o potencial informacional da cor é condicionado pelas relações de diversas variáveis pertinentes ao seu contexto, esse estudo desenvolveu o modelo do Projeto Cromático para os Sistemas Informacionais (PCSI). O PCSI é uma proposta de encaminhamento de projeto que contempla as interações de aspectos fundamentais acerca da cor-informação no ambiente construído. Desenvolveram-se dois estudos de caso nos quais foram verificadas as questões apontadas no PCSI. Os dados mostram que a eficiência da cor-informação nos deslocamentos do usuário em EAS implica uma condição que envolve o atendimento dos seguintes aspectos: a ação interdisciplinar entre os projetistas ao longo dos processos dos projetos que envolvem o uso da cor no ambiente, o aporte teórico acerca dos fundamentos da cor, cor-informação, wayfinding e Ergonomia, integração da cor-informação aos sistemas informacionais e esses às necessidades do usuário real, aquele que irá interagir com o ambiente. / [en] Color is inherent in the human visual experience and is therefore an important attribute in designing a built environment for Health Care Facilities (EAS). In this environment, color has varied uses. From a functional viewpoint, chromatic language codes conform with the color-information so as to assist in the performance of space. In dealing with the user s spatial orientation this approach is for wayfinding, for the use of color-information in the information systems of the built environment - architecture, objects and additional messages. These systems are relevant to projects in the fields of Architecture, Interior Design and Graphic Design. Based on the understanding that the informational potential of color is conditioned to the relation of several variables relevant to their context, this study developed the Chromatic Design model for Information Systems (PCSI). The PCSI is a project-forwarding proposal that includes the interactions of fundamental aspects of color-information in the built environment. Two case studies were developed in which the issues raised in the PCSI were checked. Data show that color-information efficiency in a user s movement through an EAS implies a condition that involves satisfying the following aspects: an interdisciplinary action between designers throughout the processes of the projects involving the use of color in the environment, the theoretical contribution of color basics, color-information, wayfinding and Ergonomics, integrating color-information to information systems and integrating these to the needs of the real user who will be interacting with the environment.

L’étude du comportement des composantes des intérieurs planétaires dans des conditions extrêmes de pression (megabar) et température (milliers de Kelvin) est essentielle afin de construire des modèles fiables décrivant l’évolution et la structure des planètes. Dans ce travail, nous avons étudié plusieurs composantes par compression par choc laser sur les installations LULI2000 (France) et GEKKO XII (Japon).Nous avons employé des chocs décroissants pour étudier des conditions de haute-pression / haute-température. Afin d’accéder à des conditions de température modérée, nous avons utilisé des techniques de pre-compression statique (couplage compression par choc — cellules à enclumes de diamant) et dynamique (génération de doubles chocs).Nous avons étudié l’équation d’état des mélanges eau-ethanol-ammoniac et de l’eau et ammoniac purs, d’intérêt pour la description des intérieurs des planètes géantes de glace. L’étude de l’ammoniac a été particulièrement délicate en raison de sa forte réactivité et donc de la complexité du design des cibles ; nous présentons les premières données obtenues par choc laser, dans un domaine de pression jamais exploré. Les données des mélanges confirment des calculs ab initio récents basés sur une approximation de mélange linéaire.Nous avons également mesuré la réflectivité des mélanges liquides et de la silice, une composante-clé des intérieurs des planètes terrestres. Nous avons ensuite estimé la conductivité électrique — un paramètre crucial pour modéliser la génération des champs magnétiques planétaires dans les intérieurs via un mécanisme dynamo — de ces composantes.Eau, ammoniac et mélanges eau-ethanol-ammoniac affichent des réflectivités différentes, ce qui suggère que l’eau pure ne peut pas être considérée comme représentative des mélanges planétaires dans les modèles dynamo.Par ailleurs, nous avons apporté une confirmation expérimentale de calculs ab initio récents selon lesquels la conductivité de la silice n’est pas monotone le long d’une ligne isotherme pour des températures modérées.Nos données supportent des calculs qui prédisent qu’une dynamo peut avoir lieu dans les océans de magma dans des super-Terres ainsi que dans la jeune Terre. / Characterising the behaviour of planetary interiors’ components at extreme conditions (megabar pressures, temperatures of a few thousand Kelvin) is essential to build reliable models describing the evolution and structure of planets. In this thesis, we investigated various components on a wide set of conditions using laser-driven shock compression techniques at the LULI2000 (France) and GEKKO XII (Japan) facilities.Single decaying shocks were employed to study high-pressure / high-temperature states. To reach moderate-temperature conditions, closer to planetary interior profiles, we employed static and dynamic pre-compression techniques coupling Diamond Anvil Cells to shock compression and generating double shocks, respectively.We studied the equation of state of water-ethanol-ammonia mixtures and of pure liquid water and ammonia, of interest for icy giant structure models. Pure ammonia measurements have been particularly challenging due to cell design complexity in reason of its reactivity; we provide the first data obtained with laser shocks, in a pressure domain up to now unexplored. Mixtures data are in agreement with recent ab initio calculations based on the linear mixing approximation.We measured the optical reflectivity of liquid mixtures and silica, a key component of rocky planets’ interiors. From reflectivity data we estimated the electrical conductivity of such components — a crucial parameter for modelling the generation of planetary magnetic fields in the interiors via a dynamo mechanism.Water, ammonia, and water-ethanol-ammonia mixtures exhibit different reflectivity (hence conductivity) behaviours as a function of pressure and temperature. This suggests that pure water should not be used in dynamo models as representative of the icy mixtures.Moreover, we provide the first experimental confirmation of recent ab initio studies showing that the conductivity of silica along isothermal lines is not monotonic at moderate temperatures. Our data provide experimental support for the calculations predicting a dynamo action to occur in super-Earths’ and early Earth’s magma oceans.

Though born a century apart, American poets Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath share several similarities: Both were born in New England, both fought for their rights by writing, and both broke new poetic ground.          In this thesis, I look at their poetry through a movement in space, which begins with the poets’ precarious position as societal outliers and ends with ascension. I examine what crossing the threshold meant to them, physically and metaphorically, and how it is mirrored in their poems, I look at how the physical space in which they wrote color their poetry, I examine windows as a space of transit, and finally I take a closer look at the shape ascension takes in selected poems. I propose this road, this movement in space, is mirrored in both Dickinson’s and Plath’s poetry.      I use as my method deconstruction, to uncover hints and possibilities. I scan letters and journals, biographies and memoirs. As my theoretical framework, I use Walter Benjamin’s ideas about the threshold as a place of transit, as well as his thoughts about the flaneur as the observer of the crowd, both of which are presented in The Arcades Project. To further examine the threshold as a space for pause, reconsideration, retreat, or advance, I rely on Subha Mukheriji and her book Thinking on Thresholds: The Poetics of Transitive Spaces. I further use Gaston Bachelard’s seminal The Poetics of Spaceto investigate the poets’ response to the physical space in which they wrote. I look at ascension through the prism offered by the ideas of Mircea Eliade as presented in Myths, Dreams, and Mysteries: The Encounter Between Contemporary Faiths and Archaic Realities.
