Kopljar, Sandra LU ; Sandin, Gunnar LU and Wendt, Cecilia (2016) Co-laborations: sharing authorship and space in architectural and urban research
Abstract
Uttered Expectations was a reading event performed 27 June 2013, as part of a PhD project at the Department of Architecture, Lund University. Within the frame of the PhD project a series of research interventions were pursued about the establishing of a large-scale science park in an agrarian area just outside the city of Lund, Sweden. In Uttered Expectations written comments from participants that had participated in interview interventions in this area were read by the researcher Sandra Kopljar at the site of the future Science Village and broadcasted to the City Centre of Lund as a symbolic return of voices to the city, operating in parallel to official planning procedures. Uttered Expectations was realized through several cooperative... (More)
Uttered Expectations was a reading event performed 27 June 2013, as part of a PhD project at the Department of Architecture, Lund University. Within the frame of the PhD project a series of research interventions were pursued about the establishing of a large-scale science park in an agrarian area just outside the city of Lund, Sweden. In Uttered Expectations written comments from participants that had participated in interview interventions in this area were read by the researcher Sandra Kopljar at the site of the future Science Village and broadcasted to the City Centre of Lund as a symbolic return of voices to the city, operating in parallel to official planning procedures. Uttered Expectations was realized through several cooperative and collaborative steps. In an initial request to the artist group Learning Site the research project leaders asked if it could be of interest for Learning Site to share this kind of situation by having a sound-emitting building unit placed at the site of the future Science Village, at the same time as they had an exhibition going on at a gallery in the City of Lund. Learning Site agreed to the idea of making a transmission. This decision in turn started a negotiation with the City Planning Office in Lund about placing the sound-emitting module in this exploitation site, which at the time had only scarcely begun its life as a construction site. This three-fold co-operation – between researchers at Lund University, artists and Lund Municipality generated further necessary collaboration with other actors, such as persons within the Science Village leadership, the art gallery in the City Centre, people active at the construction site, archaeologists, and agencies handling transport, insurance and building permit, etc. In this presentation we tell the story of this co-operation, and some of the societal and organisational issues it addressed. We also reflect on the fact that the mode of research and the methods in the PhD project as a whole was formed partly as a consequence of the co-operative efforts. (Less)
