Projektet handlar om att i en förskolebyggnad sammanföra flera funktionersom. I byggnaden ryms förskoleverksamhet, ett så kallat nattis samt en restaurang med stort arbetskök. En kombinerad verksamhet sparar resurser fysiskt samt ekonomiskt. Restaurangen är öppen för allmänheten men är främst en del av förskoleverksamheten. Målsättningen är att skapa en byggnad som lever dygnet runt.

Forests affect its visitors in many positive ways. It is the acknowledgement of this fact that has prompted an EU-LIFE sponsored project entitled ?Urban forests for mankind?. It aims to lure or welcome more citizens near urban forests to experience nature in its many forms. In Sweden, three municipalities have decided to take the lead in this effort. Huddinge district, Haninge district, and the Royal Djurgården Administration in conjunction with The National Board of Forestry in Mälardalen are in the midst of this four year project (2001-2005).

The South African nation and society have experienced significant changes and reforms over the last decade. Less than ten years ago black and white people were not even allowed to share a bench in a park. Today they are expected to live side by side in what is called a"Rainbow Nation". When a new society is built language plays an important part. The language constantly reproduces daily the small things that identify a nation and the people living in it.

During the spring semester of 2009 I have participated in what was to become the project The Allotment Plot; a collaboration between the Swedish University of Agriculture and the Wanås Foundation. As one of six students in landscape architecture I have experienced a group based learning process with the point of departure in the designing of an organic and experimental kitchen garden at Wanås, a sculpture park for contemporary art. The project came out as neither us nor any other of the people engaged could have guessed. What was meant to be a garden turned out to become an entire cultivation movement. As students, we have gained a lot of experience through praxis; experience that will be valuable for our future profession. The project has also opened up the possibility to question and reflect upon what our profession and education could or should be about. This thesis focuses on the role of communication and the production of communicative tools in design processes and landscape architectural practice. It discusses how communication may be used in an exploratory and ?un-securing? way, and how this may dislocate the professional role, especially in situations where the design action, as in the case of this study, demands a high degree of transdisciplinarity and collaboration. .

Kungsbacka stad står inför en omfattande expansion. Kommunens vision är att staden skall växa och i framtiden präglas av en mer urban och förtätad stadsbild. Detta kommer att resultera i konsekvenser för stadens fysiska form men också för Kungsbackas infartsleder som alla utgör ett viktigt inslag i stadens arkitektur (Kungsbacka kommun 2009). ?Kungsbackas norra entré,? är ett arbete utfört på uppdrag av Kungsbacka kommun avdelningen för Teknik.

Samtidens jordbruk står inför stora utmaningar för att kunna tillgodose världens befolkning med mat. Varje hektar odlingsbar mark kan därför komma att spela en viktig roll i framtiden. Studien visar att dagens relation mellan människa och produktionslandskapet är svag. Detta får konsekvenser för allt ifrån hur vi hanterar det produktiva landskapet i dagens planering till konsumtionsmönster på individnivå. I förlängningen innebär detta att vi äventyrar vårt produktionslandskap som en viktig resurs för framtida matförsörjning. Idag försvinner Skånes åkrar med en rasande fart och exploateringstakten på den bördiga myllan har ökat drastiskt under de senaste åren.

This essay represents a chronological and contextual analysis of clay pipes that have been found in the urban settlement of Västergarn during seminary excavations between 2006 ? 2012, conducted by Gotland University. Clay pipes can be dated closely and are useful means for dating and interpreting archaeological contexts from the early modern period, such as house foundations. There have been excavated four house foundations in Västergarn with different sorts of clay pipes dating to the post-medieval period. Can they tell which people used them or which country they were produced? By discussing the meaning of clay pipes in early modern society on Gotland this essay tries to answer these questions..

Det här arbetet handlar om hur man kan gestalta med vatten i en urban kontext. Vatten är liv. Utan vatten kan inget leva. Vatten är även viktigt för oss människor då det skapar sinnliga upplevelser. En stilla vattenspegel, en porlande bäck, en sprudlande fontän, eller det vidsträckta havet kan bidra till att människan finner lugn och harmoni.

Denna uppsats utgör en explorativ fallstudie om certifieringssystemet BREEAM Communities och dess möjlighet att fungera som ett verktyg för svenska kommuner i plan- och exploateringsprocesser.Sedan ett par år tillbaka pågår de första projekten i Sverige där BREEAM Communities används. Företagen Diligentia och PEAB var först ut att använda verktyget vid utvecklingen av sina stadsdelar Masthusen och Varvsstaden i Västra Hamnen i Malmö.Uppsatsen utgörs i första hand av en kvalitativ intervjustudie med anställda vid Diligentia, PEAB och Malmö Stad, vilken genomfördes våren 2012. Studien kompletterades med två intervjuer med anställda vid Norrköpings kommun, detta eftersom Norrköpings kommun vid tidpunkten för intervjuerna, övervägde en användning av certifieringssystemet vid utvecklingen av stadsdelen Saltängen. Intervjustudien tar utgångspunkt i intervjupersonernas erfarenheter och tankar kring BREEAM Communities? inverkan på arbetsprocessen och vilka hållbarhetsaspekter som hanteras inom de två projekten i Västra Hamnen.

Examensarbete behandlar Piteås grönområden och vattenrum med fokus på Boverkets beskrivning av de sociala aspekterna, vilket menas hur vi människor använder stadens gröna rum. De ekologiska och kulturella aspekterna beskrivs dock även i examensarbetet, detta för att påvisa den samlade vikten av en stads gröna områden. Piteås grönområden har avgränsats till stadsnära rekreationsområden i form av stråk, motionsspår och friluftsområden samt vattenrum och parker. Examensarbetet innefattar även hur dessa ser ut och används vintertid. Genom inventering och analys av Piteås grönområden har det utkristalliserats vilka platser som bör få en ny utformning och nya användningsområden, nya förslag har därför utarbetats för dessa.

It is widely recognized that the town of Södertälje, a small Swedish town of 85 000 inhabitants, has alone received more war refugees from Iraq than the US and Canada have put together. Whilst writing this thesis had nearly 6000 Iraqi refugees sought their way to Södertälje since the US invasion in Iraq 2003.Nevertheless, life is not what the media and the government retail. Six of these Iraqi refugees who resided in Södertälje share their life stories in the following thesis. They discuss their escape from Iraq and the difficulties of living in the segregated parts of Södertälje where they solely speak Arabic and Assyrian, whilst learning Swedish at sfi (Svenska för invandrare, Swedish for immigrants). Another distress is related to the unsecure future in Sweden waiting ahead.      The aim of this thesis is to engage in, and highlight the studies of six sfi-students in their endeavor to learn Swedish, whilst struggling through Swedish bureaucracy and experiencing despair due to their situation and uncertain future.       .
