  1. 1. Spatializing Hospitality : A design exploration on how to provide spatial agency to immigrant households in Sweden

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Arkitekthögskolan vid Umeå universitet

    Author : Kajsa Grundström; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The thesis investigates how a host country can apply ethics of hospitality to housing that allow refugees and asylum seekers spatial agency. The necessity of doing this is to reduce the passive state of being “guests” for refugees when they are waiting for answers of asylum application approval. READ MORE

  3. 2. Thermal environment and design considerations of the Foresail-2 satellite mission

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Deepa Anantha Raman; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; thermal control; radiation; heat transfer; boom;

    Abstract : The thermal design of small satellite missions is critical for ensuring the performance and longevity of onboard instruments. This thesis focuses on the thermal design of Foresail-2, a 6U CubeSat mission to Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO), specifically addressing the thermal challenges associated with the magnetometer located at the end of a long boom featured on the satellite.

  4. 3. Building performance optimisation tools for the decarbonisation of Swedish buildings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

    Author : Nadja Baden; Marziyeh Taghizadeh; [2023]
    Keywords : Optimisation; Parametric design; Decarbonisation; Renovation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change and reach Sweden’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2045, or at an earlier stage of 2030 for 23 Swedish cities, urgent action is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the building sector’s significant contribution to carbon emissions, a crucial aspect in achieving these goals is improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings, as most of these will still be in use by this time.

  5. 4. Beyond Survival : Designing Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Temporary Housing

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för design (DE)

    Author : Mahnoosh Ramgar; [2023]
    Keywords : Post-disaster temporary housing; natural disaster; design strategies; environmentally friendly design; renewable materials;

    Abstract : In the aftermath of natural disasters, providing temporary housing to displaced people is essential to alleviate human suffering. However, in some cases, the chosen post-disaster temporary housing strategy may not be suitable for the local conditions, which can worsen the negative impacts, particularly when decision-makers need to change their original plan due to the uncertainty of post-disaster conditions.
