    Hidden carpentry. Investigations of Medieval Church Roofs in Västergötland and Northern Småland.
    (2023) Gullbrandsson, Robin
    This licentiate thesis examines through three articles the corpus of preserved medieval timber roofs in churches of Västergötland and Northern Småland, based on surveys in the dioceses of Linköping, Skara and Gothenburg 2010–2021. These were the first systematic surveys of medieval roof structures in the regions. The primary aim of this thesis is a typology and chronology concerning the medieval church roofs of the two regions. Focus is put on the High Medieval material of Västergötland, where cross-disciplinary case studies have been made. Systems and techniques applied by the medieval carpenters could be identified, interpreted and structured. These in-depth field studies have together with studies of reference roofs from other regions and countries given a deeper insight into the roof structure and its part in medieval church building. Motives behind technical choices are discussed as well as the extent of possible domestic features. A narrative for Västergötland is sketched, from a pluralistic carpentry in the first half of the 12th century – although part of a European tradition of trussed tiebeam roofs – towards a more normative one. The latter just slowly opened up for new impulses from the continent, due to a decline in church building commissions in Västergötland after the mid-13th century. The uniform character that developed in Västergötland is not at hand in the material of Northern Småland. This thesis also points at the values that can be identified in historic roof structures through cross-disci- plinary fieldwork and how such investigations are necessary in order to maintain and restore an important European heritage in timber.

    Planteringar vid järnvägen. Funktion och organisation under stambanornas första tid
    (Göteborgs universitet, 2020) Lindgren, Anna; Institutionen för kulturvård
    I den här licentiatuppsatsen undersöks planteringar vid de första stambanorna i Sverige mellan åren 1855–1875. När järnvägar för persontrafik började byggas i mitten av 1800-talet innebar de en stor förändring av samhället, landskapet och människors vardagsliv. Inom det nya stora tekniska systemet användes planteringar för olika funktioner – till prydnad, nytta och skydd. Undersökningen tar sin utgångspunkt från fyra exempel – Alingsås, Eslöv, Stockholms södra station och Hallsberg. Vi får följa hur arbetet med de första planteringarna gick till, hur planteringsverksamheten inom Statens järnvägar fick en egen organisation och vilka motiv som låg bakom planteringarna. Planteringar vid järnvägen sätts också in i sitt sammanhang genom en utblick till den internationella händelseutvecklingen och samtidens syn på naturen, park och trädgård. Licentiatuppsatsen utgår från tidigare okänt arkivmaterial och visar att planteringar var en given del i de nya järnvägsanläggningarna och i omformandet av landskapet.

    Färgbilden som redskap vid växtkomposition
    (Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvård, 2013) Nilsson, Nina
    This licentiate thesis examines and discusses colour images, especially colour schemes, as a tool and method in the study of colour in the garden. The hypothesis is that the colour image is a tool to interpret, analyse, compose and record. Images can be descriptive or figurative and abstract or non-figurative in nature. The study is based on the teaching of colour theory and plant composition as developed and applied in the training program ”Gardening and Garden Design” in the Department of Conservation/Dacapo at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The overriding research question is: How can colour images of various kinds, especially the colour schematic diagram, be devised and used in the study of colour in gardens, flower beds and the landscape? The question is investigated through studies of different aspects: individual plants, nature habitats, gardens, literature, and the design of plant composition. The result is a model with different types of colour images that have various functions. The features include: intentions and thoughts, colour composition, colour registration, colour interpretation, and colour scheme. The borders between the different image types are not distinct. It is not possible to isolate a single feature in an image, as the creation of the image always includes an interpretation.
