Afhandlingen som du skal til at læse er et resultat af fem års forskningsarbejde - til og fra. Arbejdet har været afbrudt af andre interessante projekter på Institut for Arkitektur og Design, i andre arbejdsmæssige sammen- hænge, samt en barselsorlov. Projektets vekselvirkning mellem forskning og praksis betyder, at det baserer sig på mange menneskers vel- vilje og opbakning, samt konstruktivt med og modspil. Derfor en tak til jer der har givet mig del i jeres erfarin- ger og viden i forbindelse med interviews, projektudvikling og talrige møder. En særlig tak til Sofie, Kristian, Christian og Tonny for at gøre mit arbejde som forsker meget mere interes- sant, end jeg havde drømt om! Jeg glæder mig til fortsættelsen. Mindst lige så glad er jeg for at min mor, Anne Grethe, har (hen)rettet de mange sider, som følger i afhand- lingen. Uden din hjælp var den viden, jeg gerne vil formidle og den historie, jeg gerne vil fortælle ikke blevet, som den er nu. Tak til min vejleder professor Hans Kiib for at give plads og rum til at afsøge mulighederne og hjælpe mig på vej i et miljø med højt til loftet. Det sætter jeg stor pris på! Jeg ved, at det bedste arbejdsliv man kan få, er det, som opstår med gode kollegaer! Derfor har det været en fornøjelse at gå på arbejde som Ph.d. studerende og blive udfordret og hjulpet konstruktivt både hvad angår forskningen og undervisningen. Stor tak for det til professor Ole B. Jensen, professor Gitte Marling og lektor Henrik Harder. Og til min bedste arbejdskollega og gode ven Lea Louise Holst Laursen, tak fordi der er plads til både sjov og arbejde, det har gjort det hele lettere. Tak til Institutleder Michael Mullins for at tro på mine projekter og give plads til at eksperimentere. Og til min hustru Stine og mine børn Sigurd og Vigga, hvor har I været tålmodige med mig, I skal vide hvor glade I gør mig! Nu skal jeg nok være tålmodige med jer. Sigurd bogen er færdig!
