Uppsala nya Konstmuseum Ett nytt konstmuseum i Uppsala, en ny knutpunkt för konst i alla dess former. En rektangel klädd i stora guldfärgade och glänsande fasadplåtar. Sju våningar för konst som erbjuder besökarna en vandring upp över stadens siluett. En plats där människor lätt kan slinka in och ta del av den konst som finns i Uppsala. Besökarna kommer inte bara bjudas på spännande konst, det kommer också att bjudas på nya perspektiv av Uppsala. Det nya museet är en kvadratisk byggnad med yttermåtten 24x24 meter och sträcker sig ca 30 meter upp över marken. Med sin höjd och en iögonfallande fasad är den väl synlig på håll i Uppsala. Fasaden består av guldfärgade metallskivor. Skivorna är vinklade ut från från fasaden i olika vinklar för att få en fasad med olika grader av skuggningar och reflektioner. Invändigt är ytskikten generellt massiva och hållbara. Golvet är av ljus betong som slipats och väggarna är vitmålade. De flesta våningsplan erbjuder stora fönster från golv till tak från vilka man får en utblick över Uppsala. / Uppsala New Art Museum A new art museum in Uppsala, a new hub for art in all its forms. A rectangle wearing large gold colored and shiny facade panels. Seven floors of art that offers visitors a walk up above the skyline. A place where people can easily drop in and take part of Uppsalas art. Visitors will not only be treated to exciting art, they will also be invited to new perspectives of Uppsala. The new museum is a square building with outside dimensions of 24 by 24 meters, and extends about 30 meters above the ground. With its height and striking facade, the building is clearly visible from a distance in Uppsala. The facade consists of gold-colored metal disks. The boards are angled out from the facade at different angles to get a facade with various degrees of shading and reflections. Inside, the surface layers are generally massive and durable. The floor is of polished concrete and the walls are painted white. Most floor plan offers large floor-to-ceiling windows from which gives the visitors a splendid view of Uppsala

The study describes and explains the geographical, economic and political development in theUppsalaarea from the Bronze age to the Vendel Period. The landscape development was central. In the 1990s 14C datings made it possibly to create maps of this using GIS. The area contains forty thousand known constructions. When plotted they provide a picture of the area use. Together with information regarding the climate, pollen analyses and the external economic and political development, conditions was discerned. The key to the development was the position at the edge of the expanding mainland. The vicinity to earlier cultures, the River Dalälven and Åland together with possible contacts with southern cultures were significant.  In Periods III-IV led unrest to collaboration and the markings of territories. Cairns, hill forts, large stone settings and the great cult house in Håga were constructed. The Håga mound was probably an attempt to retain the old order. Towards the end of the Bronze Age, the collaboration withered and there are indications of border zones.   The boat-development around AD 0 expanded the contacts, mainly through long-distance travel for catching herring or seal. Although agriculture provided a basis for subsistence in the area and increased, it was not dominating. Fishing, hunting and gathering together played an equal role. The organized long-distance trade was limited. Helgö was a collaborative project to tie into international trading networks. After the Roman Period, Fjädrundaland’s predecessor was no longer an autonomous power. In the 6th century fighting occurred between the precursors to Attundaland and Tiundaland/Fjädrundaland. It ceased AD 600, and it seems likely that a federation was formed. Gamla Uppsala and the royal election site at Mora became the insignia. The federation formed a political impasse which with the economic situation may be the cause of the slow changes during the Vendel Period.

Uppsala like many other Swedish cities is affected by heavy housing shortage, in terms of too few existing flats and residents within the city limits. Every semester thousands of new students are facing the same problems of finding themselves adequate accommodation. The waiting lists for flats and student-dorms are getting longer for each year, and the situation is just getting worse. Simultaneously, Uppsala’s ambition is to increase its population and expand as a Swedish metropolitan, according to the Swedish governmental environment goals.   This paper investigates and analyses the possibilities of expanding a city’s population by building high-rise buildings. A city developed with high-rise buildings will provide different conditions and penalties than what we have formerly been used to in Sweden. Therefore we have analysed the eventual outcome in a few different areas which would most likely be affected by an upcoming progress including constructions of high-rise buildings. The examined areas are production costs, energy efficacy, cityscape and community related issues. To set clear boundaries regarding the reports extent, we have chosen to focus on Uppsala as a city in particular. Ultimately, the results of different studies and comparisons have been discussed with the origin of promoting the benefits of different solutions. The report reveals that high-rise constructions could contribute with considerably more positive outcomes than people without deep understanding within the subject could possibly imagine. Other, more social related questions in this context need attention as well. For example: How would it work on a practical level for the inhabitants of Uppsala if the buildings suddenly were a lot higher than what they used to be? Would these buildings take attention away from the Uppsala castle and the cathedral? Would Uppsala even remain a pleasant place to live in? Questions such as these together with other social related issues have been discussed in this report as well. The report has been carried out in collaboration with the building contractor JM AB, from which data and information on various intervals have been taken.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att ge fördjupad kunskap om Rosendalsgymnasiets position bland Uppsalas gymnasier, vilket konkretiserats genom förhållningssätt till gymnasiet som en aktör i fältet, men också som en aktör i elevernas utbildning. Relevansen i att undersöka Rosendalsgymnasiet ligger i deras höga position i fältet, som grundar sig i att vara en av de skolor som i hög grad rekryterar högpresterande elever från kapitalstarka sociala bakgrunder. För att förstå gymnasiefältet i Uppsala behövs först förståelse för de dominerande parterna, där Rosendalsgymnasiet sticker ut som en aktör. Till denna studie har Bourdieus teoretiska ramverk använts för att analysera materialet, då främst utifrån skolans, och elevernas, kapital och strategier. Materialet till studien består av 13 semistrukturerade, kvalitativa intervjuer med skolledning, lärare och elever. Till våra resultat hör identifierandet av värdetillskrivna aspekter av verksamheten och skolans resurser, så som meriterade lärare och skolans pedagogiska arbete, vilka utgör kapitalgivande tillgångar. Vi finner också att skolan positionerar sig i fältet genom teoretiskt tunga program, genom ett naturvetenskapligt fokus och ett samarbete med Uppsala universitet, samt att eleverna främst förhåller sig till skolan som en stabil grund för högre studier och en tillåtande plats för studiemotivation. Vår slutsats av undersökningen är att den pedagogiska verksamheten endast är en fraktion i förståelsen för deras position, och att förklaringen främst återfinns i den studiekultur som vuxit fram och etablerats. Denna studiekultur leder till ett rykte som attraherar högpresterande elever, och som genom en cirkulär process underbygger skolans elevrekrytering, antagning och position.
