1	Konstnär, estet, nyskapare : En kvantitativ och kvalitativ analys av Karin Bergöö Larssons broderier och vävnader på Carl Larssongården i Sundborn Sundström, Eva January 2019 (has links) Many authors and scholars since the late 60th and onwards have highlighted the textiles of Karin Bergöö Larsson as extremely modernistic and innovative for the time but few facts have been delivered to support this observation in terms of details of patterns and motives. Is it possible to identify and describe what has been declared as modernistic? What does Karin’s preferences for material, technique, pattern and motives tell us about her values and attitudes towards textile as applied art and as art? The collection of Karin’s original textiles at the Carl Larssongården, including a total of 151 objects, is investigated statistically regarding materials, techniques and colors. Furthermore, a limited selection of 20 textiles are investigated more profoundly focusing on Karin’s skills in handling different embroidery and weaving techniques in an artistic innovative way. My research indicates that Karin was more interested in innovative design rather than to preserve and transmit traditional crafts. Patterns and motives most frequently occurring in Karin’s repertoire can either be traced back to peasant art or characterized as influenced by the modernist movement – or both, combined in the same work. Technically Karin is constantly experimenting, developing and expanding her skills outside her comfort zone. She adopts a large number of traditional stitches in different combinations in addition to stitches invented by herself. The way in which she applicates embroidery and weaving techniques together with an artistic design reflecting contemporary art and influences from abroad is the key to what makes Karin exceptionally modernistic, up to date and even far ahead.

2	Adaptive reuse of the vernacular log building Bergström, Christine January 2022 (has links) This thesis project is an attempt to learn from vernacular building traditions when designing sustainable homes for families in a contemporary rural setting. My proposal is a multi-generational home consisting of reused old log houses, which would otherwise be torn down, joined together through a composition of local materials for new rammed earth structures. The site is located in Dalarna, a province known for its image based around traditions closely related to small-scale farming and tight knit local communities. Vernacular architecture has been, and still is, the icon of this region. Vernacular buildings in the north part of Sweden have been almost exclusively log houses. The widespread accessibility of good quality wood has enabled sturdy log structures to be built that may last for hundreds of years. The construction method of stacking logs on top of each other, held together only by their own weight and the pieces interlocking, is a flexible building method. The house can grow if needed by adding on additional logs, or taken apart completely for easy transportation. This is something that has enabled me to gather existing building from different parts of Sweden and bring them new life. This proposal consists of seven log houses, all found for sale online. vernacular architecture log house multi generational home rammed earth adaptive reuse Sundborn Dalarna rural log building Architecture Arkitektur
3	Ge igen med samma mynt : Ekonomiska och sociala relationer i Sundborns socken i Dalarna 1820–1849 Nibon, Karin January 2016 (has links) The aim of this thesis is to visualize and explain how people’s economic and social relations were connected in the parish of Sundborn, in the south east of Dalarna, in the period 1820-1849. The study is based on records of claims and debts in inventories and parish registers, which enable reconstruction of the private local credit market. The study shows that the majority in the economic network lived in Sundborn, and that while few people had formal loans at the institutional credit market, many had loans by trust at the private local credit market. Also, while few people were lenders, almost everyone was a borrower. The most common credit relationship was between people who lived near one another, and people who lived near one another or were related received a higher average credit. The private local credit market consisted primarily of men. These results have been interpreted with the use of social network theory, it being shown that people depended on their social network to obtain the necessary credit. In creating an economic network graph, I show that households in the parish of Sundborn were interconnected by debt relations. By using this method, it is possible to identify significant persons and potential parish bankers. Through combining the network graph with a landscape map, I show connections between the settlement, the assets, economic relations, centrality and the long valley of Sundborn river. The study opens up possibilities for further development of the same method to visualize historic data and relate it to the landscape, with a view to generating new related questions and spatial analyses.
