Architectural Prototypes: Modes of Design Development and Architectural Practice

by Jonas Runberger

The licentiate thesis was defended at KTH School of Architecture in Stockholm on September 30th 2008 with opponent Michael Speaks (PhD, Dean College of Design, University of Kentucky). The thesis was passed, leading to a Technical Licentiate degree in Architecture.

The licentiate thesis is divided into two parts; the Contexts book and the Projects book. The two books are intertwined through a system of references, and are meant to be read together. The Contexts book explores contemporary discourses within the field of digital and projective design and new forms of architectural practice. The Projects book is based in design projects developed by the Jonas Runberger, often in collaboration with other architects, and traces a discourse based on advanced parametric design methods and architectural effects.

The thesis is printed in a limited and numbered edition of 125. A small number of copies will be available for sale shortly, please contact jonas (at) runberger.net for more details.
