PÄvel Snickares grÀnd
VÄr bild av centrala Uppsala som en stad med brist pÄ vÀxtlighet, ligger till grund för detta kandidatarbete. PÄvel Snickares grÀnd Àr en centralt belÀgen plats som lÀnge saknat funktion. Platsen Àr idag under ombyggnad. I och med att det gamla RÄdhuset har byggts om till en galleria fungerar grÀnden nu som en entré till gallerian. Den nya utformningen av platsen kommer enligt planerna resultera i en vÀxtfattig torgyta.
VÄrt arbete har resulterat i ett gestaltningsförslag med tillhörande vÀxtlista som stÄr i kontrast till de planerna.
I en teoridel tar vi upp begreppet naturlika planteringar. Vi beskriver hur dessa komponeras samt vilka sorters vÀxter som anvÀnds. Vi gÄr ocksÄ igenom vilka svÄrigheter vÀxter stÀlls inför i urbana miljöer. Genom analyser av platsen skapar vi oss sedan en bild av dess speciella förutsÀttningar. Syftet Àr att skapa en plats rik pÄ vÀxtlighet och som har kvalitéer Äret om. DÀrför arbetade
vi med naturlika planteringar som koncept. Betoningen ligger pĂ„ att föra in mĂ„nga olika sorters vĂ€xter som alla Ă€r anpassade för platsens stĂ„ndort, som Ă€r ett urbant skuggigt klimat. VĂ€xtval och vĂ€xtkomposition inspireras mycket av Susanna Widlundhs bok Den Naturlika TrĂ€dgĂ„rden men ocksĂ„ av Henk Gerritsen och Piet Oudolf, bĂ„da stora namn inom Ă€mnet.Our picture of central Uppsala, a city with a lack of vegetation, forms the basis of this bachelorâs paper. PĂ„vel Snickares grĂ€nd is a centrally located place that has long been missing feature. The place is currently under reconstruction. With that the old Town Hall has been converted into a shopping mall the alley now works as an
entrance to the mall. The new design of the site is planned to result in a town square with little vegetation. Our work has resulted in a design proposal with a related plant list, which stands in contrast to these plans.
In a theoretical part, we discuss the concept of nature-like
plantings. We describe how they are composed and what kinds of plants to be used. We also review the difficulties plants face in urban environments. Through analysis of site we then create ourselves a picture of its particular circumstances. The aim is to create a place rich in vegetation and that has qualities all of the year.
Therefore, we worked with nature-like plantings as a concept. The emphasis is on inserting many different kinds of plants, all adapted for the site habitat, which is an urban shady climate. Choice of plants and plant composition is inspired much by Susanna Widlundhs book Den Naturlika TrÀdgÄrden but also by Henk Gerritsen and Piet Oudolf,
both big names in the subject
Folds of remembrance : to design a memorial site
Katastrofer Ă€r en del av vĂ„r vardag. Olika katastrofer sker dagligen runt om i vĂ€rlden. Vissa Ă€r pĂ„gĂ„ende och utdragna över lĂ„ng tid, andra Ă€r över pĂ„ ett ögonblick. Gemensamt för alla katastrofer Ă€r att konsekvenserna och sorgen hos de drabbade eller anhöriga finns kvar lĂ„ngt efter det som intrĂ€ffade. I vĂ„rt examensarbete har vi valt att delta i en tĂ€vling om att göra ett gestaltningsförslag för en minnesplats efter en katastrof. TĂ€vlingen hade fokus pĂ„ hĂ€ndelsen dĂ„ ett passagerarplan sköts ner i Ukraina, under pĂ„gĂ„ende flygning frĂ„n Amsterdam till Kuala Lumpur den 17 juli 2014. Samtliga 298 ombord omkom. För att minnas och hedra alla offer i den tragiska hĂ€ndelsen anordnade organisationen Matterbetter idĂ©tĂ€vlingen MH17 Memorial. TĂ€vlingens syfte var att skapa en minnesplats för katastrofen, med plats för hĂ„gkomst, ceremonier och privata sammankomster. Platsen skulle ocksĂ„ ge möjlighet till rekreation i form av en landskapspark. Platsen för tĂ€vlingen var en 8 hektar stor triangulĂ€r yta mitt i en vik till sjön IJmeer, vilken strĂ€cker sig genom centrala Amsterdam. Syftet med vĂ„rt arbete var att gestalta en artificiell ö i Amsterdam. Den skapade ön skall inrymma en minnesplats samt en landskapspark. Minnesplatsen skall stödja mĂ€nniskor i sorg efter katastrofen med flight MH17. Hela ön skall ocksĂ„ bli en viktig del av Amsterdams grönstruktur. I vĂ„r litteraturstudie fann vi att en minnesplats funktion att ge stöd i sorg pĂ„verkas av den upplevda trygghetskĂ€nslan och Ă€r dĂ€rför ett betydelsefullt Ă€mne att hantera vid gestaltningen av minnesplatser. I en del av arbetet undersökte vi sex minnesplatsers gestaltning. VĂ„rt mĂ„l med studien av referensplatserna var att finna inspiration och att se exempel pĂ„ hur minnesplatser kan utformas. Genom studien jĂ€mförde vi existerande minnesplatser med vad olika skriftliga kĂ€llor tog upp gĂ€llande gestaltning.Disasters are part of our everyday lives. Different disasters occur daily around the world.Some are ongoing and protracted over time, others are over in an instant. Common to all disasters are that the consequences and the grief of the victims or relatives remain long after the disaster occurred. In our thesis we have chosen to participate in a competition to make a design proposal for a memorial after a disaster. The competition dealt with the disaster when a passenger plane was shot down in Ukraine, during a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur July 17, 2014. All 298 on board were killed. To remember and honor all the victims of the tragic event the organization Matter Better organized the ideas competition MH17 Memorial. The purpose was to create a memorial of the disaster, with place for remembrance, ceremonies and private gatherings. The location would also provide opportunities for recreation in form of a landscape park. The location of the contest was an 8 hectare triangular area in the middle of a bay to the lake IJmeer, which extends through the center of Amsterdam. The purpose of our work was to design an artificial island in Amsterdam. The created island will house a memorial and a landscape park. The memorial shall support people in mourning after the disaster with flight MH17. The island will also be an important part of Amsterdam's green structure. In our literature review, we found that a memorialâs function in supporting in grief are influenced by the perceived sense of security. In one part of our thesis we analyzed the design of six memorial sites. Our goal with the study of these reference sites was to find inspiration and to see examples of how memorials can be designed. Through the study, we compared the existing memorials with what written sources said about design
Qualitative Analysis of Forced Response of Blisks With Friction Ring Dampers
A damping strategy for blisks (integrally bladed disks) of turbomachinery
involving a friction ring is investigated. These rings, located in grooves
underside the wheel of the blisks, are held in contact by centrifugal loads and
the energy is dissipated when relative motions between the ring and the disk
occur. A representative lumped parameter model of the system is introduced and
the steady-state nonlinear response is derived using a multi-harmonic balance
method combined with an AFT procedure where the friction force is calculated in
the time domain. Numerical simulations are presented for several damper
characteristics and several excitation configurations. From these results, the
performance of this damping strategy is discussed and some design guidelines
are given
