A doctoral dissertation

Better late than never, below is a link to my PhD thesis about the architectural potentials of fabric formwork. As always, feel free to contact me with feedback, much appreciated!!

The long title of the thesis is (take a deep breath) "Fabric Formwork for Concrete – Investigations Into formwork Tectonics and Stereogeneity in Architectural Constructions" and you can download it right here. Here is a link to some of the terminology used/coined.

Here is a much shorter version - an interview about the work.

Beautifying concrete
With the smashing headline New techniques can beautify concrete buildings, here's a link to an interview with yours concretely written in the news portal Science Nordic written after defense of my doctoral dissertation. My point in the interview was that new methods of construction demands a new way of discussing the use and the aesthetics of concrete in architecture, well actually, that we have to think of the material's potentials anew.

Here is a link to the Danish version of the article.
For both articles, please disregard the 'fact boxes'...

This next post reflects a little upon evaluating the material 'results' of fundamental architectural research
