BOOKS
Most of my books are in Swedish and out of print. My plan is to make some of them into e-books and make them available on this site.
Now I will give you my Doctoral Thesis as a gift. It is a design theoretical reflection and analysis based on my own design experience. The cases are An Opera House, A Newspaper Building, A Camera factory for Hasselblad and a lot about the development of the famous Volvo Uddevalla factory and the work done at the Volvo Torslanda Plant.
