Kan man förhöja hela upplevelsen av att resa kollektivt genom att förändra textilierna i denna miljö? Hur anpassar man sin estetik till en miljö som är så hårt utsatt för smuts, slitage och skadegörelse? Kan man genom att förändra textilien skapa en bättre relation mellan passageraren och sätet?Textile design for public transport..

This thesis focuses on the mass media cover of ?Smart Textiles?. The Swedish?smart? Textiles are developed in Borås and are a mix of ordinary Textile and new technology.  I analyse the article with a text analysis method, looking at themes and the language?s propositions in focus. Context and the actors in the articles are also important in the analysis.Many women occur as developers of the new smart technical product, a field often knowed as a typical male subject.

This essay is about the Swedish Textile heritage but also with an analysis of handmade hemp Textiles from Transylvania. Plant fibers such as hemp and flax grown in a soil nature that existed around the subsistence farm. The knowledge of the earth nature combined with Textiles has not been specifically studied in the research from the last century. By examining simple folk Textiles of hemp shows how the Textiles also are an universal field. The focus is on the raw material which is a transformation between nature and culture.With a phenomenological approach, the study will describe how the Textile heritage announcement molds a territory in the interpretation of "our" Swedish plantfibres for Textiles uses.

The present work is a continuation of the ideas developed in previous projects during my Masters studies that explored the relation between pattern, form and space. Starting from the pattern multiplication for space construction the present project proposes Textiles as an assortment of flexible expressions. The purpose of the project is to explore aesthetic and functional potential of Textiles for out door temporary structures. This is to create a pattern interface which filters sunlight through a Textile surface to offer instant sheltering solutions for out door activities. The project combines research and analyses of outdoor temporary structures and scope of Textile in the area.

Reflections är en stämningslampa som med hjälp av invävd fiberoptik lockar fram nya visuella och taktila uttrycksvärdeni en textil. Under arbetets gång har jag utforskat mängden ljus som fiberoptisk textil sprider längsmed fiberlängden samt undersökt naturfiberns egenskaper när den vävs samman med fiberoptik.En stor utmaning var att hitta balans mellan tekniska begränsningar och det uttryck jag sökte. Lampans formspråkär min reflektion över dagens stadslandskap där arkitekturens geometriska former möterfordons strömlinjeform. Med stämningslampan hoppas jag att hitta och inspirera till nya användningsområdenför fiberoptisk textil.Reflections is a mood light using interwoven fiber optics witch brings out new visual and tactile expressionvalues in a Textile. During the work, I have explored the amount of light fiber optic Textile spreads along thefiber length and examined properties of nature fiber when it is interwoven with fiber optics.A major challenge was finding a balance between technical constraints and expressions I was looking for.

This essay discusses the issue of the role of women and also whether they could obtain a strong social position during the Viking Age. Moreover, it does discuss the question of how frequent women were present in Viking Age scriptures, art and archaeological artefacts in comparison to our view of women and her position in the modern society. The archaeological material used is in majority that found in Birka, such as burial and habitational findings. These objects, as well as other comparable and similar findings from other places, when put together with written sources, show that women had different roles in the society. She was able to have a strong social role during the Viking Age not only becauseof the status her family had but also because of her own merit depending of her skills and ability.The archaeological findings found in female graves and other findings in the area, suggest a specializing within both Textile production and trade for the women.

Portable is a project with its starting point in plastic bags, how they negatively affect our planet and how people´s patterns of behavior and qualities of life are affected when people try to live more envi¬ronmentally friendly. Now we have reached the point when peoples way of living and consuming in the western world has to change. This is nothing new and we can now see that sustainability is start¬ing to get attention in every area.Today plastic bags are used on average for 12 minutes. Only one out of 200 is reused, and then only once . This is not sustainable at all.

This paper addresses the need to review the modern presentation of Textile archaeology in museums. It is time to look at Textiles in archaeology with new eyes. The reality behind archaeological Textilestudy is holistic, embracing many different aspects of society. The presentation of Textiles has in my opinion become old-fashioned. I will show in my paper that Jonathan Adams? `seven constraints´ model, developed for research on ancient ships, can also be applied to Textile research.
