The transition to visual mobile communication is evident in the screens of mobile phones, which have transformed from small black-and-white displays portraying numbers and letter into big, phone-sized, colourful, high-resolution displays. This is in striking contrast to the fact that only a few decades ago a telephone did not include a screen of any kind.In this doctoral thesis, visual mobile communication is situated specifically in camera phone photography and photo messaging. The main research question focuses on how the conventions of mobile phone communication are manifested in interpersonal photographic communication when using camera phones. Photo messaging in examined by using framework consisting of two themes: ritual communication and mediated presence. In addition to a theoretically oriented analysis, the study utilizes results from an empirical case study with Finnish camera phone users. 9789526000060.

Soft Cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This book tells the story of Tapio Wirkkala Park. Robert Wilson's first visit to Arabianranta acted like the conductor's first downbeat in the process of creating the park. The chapter titles, derived from the world of music and opera, introduce readers to the place, the makers, the planning process, the working methods, and, ultimately, the park's artistic elements. The planning phase lasted for 9 years. The creation of the park involved the use of temporary on-site field rehearsals with the designer and members of a local project team. The actual construction of the park by the city of Helsinki took place during 2012. The book presents the protagonists of the piece: the artists Robert Wilson and Tapio Wirkkala. Articles on the art policy of the Helsinki Art Museum and on the percentage-for-art project in the Arabianranta residential area provide background information. The book also highlights the invisible, behind-the-scenes work that an art coordinator does in getting works of art realised. The book includes scores of photographs and collages of images, and Robert Wilson's ideas and sketches for the park. Solargraphy images of the arcs of the sky and the sun over Tapio Wirkkala Park complete the story. Text in English. 169 pp.

Soft Cover. Zustand: Very Good. Text in English. 313 pp. Covers shows light rubbing and some scuffing on the edges. Art and sport are inseparable parts of contemporary culture. There is no way to escape their presence in everyday life. Yet, they are frequently seen unconnected or even as the opposed elements of the culture. This research examines the possible contacts between art and sport in contemporary culture. It makes an inquiry of them as practices, systems and habits of action in order to analyze their connections. The study uses a humanistic approach employing various disciplines as well as artistic methods for probing the subject. The research shows how art and sport are connected through their historical development and social structure. In addition, aesthetic links between them are introduced. Finally, the reasons for their contemporary affinity and its consequences are discussed. Matti Tainio (1967) is a visual artist and researcher, who is interested in studying intersections and transitional fields between diverse concepts and phenomena.

Soft Cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Text in English. 154 pp. A woman has several diamond rings but her most treasured piece of jewelry is a silver bracelet with five hearts on it. Why? The piece was her mother's, composed of gifts from her father, a heart after each child. It is links like this that make jewelry more valuable than just the sum of its parts. This study contributes not only to design research but also to the small and novel field of jewelry studies. It brings a new approach to seeing personal experiences and memories, important when jewelry is part of women's social existence. This study provides a deeper understanding of the social reasons why jewelry is possessed and worn. Women's jewelry often connects past and future generations. Such jewelry not only exists in the present day, but also connects generations. Jewelry also often works as a mediator of memories of possessors' milestones in life, relationships and family ties. It plays important roles in the rituals that make up the rites of passages throughout a woman's life.

Zustand: new. Pages: 100 Language: English. Citizens are increasingly involved in the design and production of their own products. Forerunner groups are exploring new ways of doing things with digital fabrication tools, a phenomenon known as the maker movement. Especially communities who work together in dedicated spaces, makerspaces, are rapidly proliferating. They are of research interest, as they are now experimenting with new practices and organizations that indicate the possible impacts of a digitalizing society. They carry potential to do away with the negative environmental impacts associated with mass production and consumption (and decouple them from socio-economic prosperity), but there may also be new, unforeseen environmental consequences of such prosumption.This dissertation reviews the environmental issues in the maker movement, and it examines how environmental sustainability is taken up in Fab Labs (fabrication laboratories) or remains invisible and unaddressed, based on longitudinal analysis. The thesis sheds light on our possible futures, as these niche activities move towards the mainstream. It clearly demonstrates how communities attempt to enact ideology: how we shape technologies and technologies shape us. Aalto University publication series.

The longitudinal study is framed through the interpretation and critique of four prior approaches from design, art and architecture, namely Empathic Design, Interrogative Design, Relational Aesthetics and Critical Regionalism.The study presents the concept of the lktrhom as a dwelling process and place. It is where sensorial experiences of people by the means and measures of standardized electrical and electronic technologies form, are normalized and get justified. Housing concerns from a cultural geographical, anthropological and post-human architectural perspective of the everyday home, the Electrome encounters the body as its final bastion. Through the presentation of this concept for contemporary dwelling, the study presents three different positions for a design practice, for inquiry, for prototyping and as a discrete activism. Holding these multiple positions, the thesis presents the idea that practising design can generate multiple agendas as coherent action. 9789526063997.

Zustand: new. Pages: 285 Language: English. The dissertation proposes to present a textual research approach in the context of architectural research. Three mutually interacting threads could be singled out in this book. One aim is to argue that readings of Derrida have by no means been exhausted in the context of architectural research, and that his work remains pertinent for instance for working out the question of image in the context of architecture. Secondly, an architect works, above all, with and through images. He is an image-maker. Textual image shows that image presents a more complex field. Different elements influence the formations of an image, and different layers of images take part in this formation. The third thread introduces into the dissertation a complex large-scale urban project, Euralille. 9789526053028.
