Fixing Toxic Cookware

Profil: Ulrik Hjort Lassen

Ulrik Lassen

Ulrik stammt aus Dänemark, lebt aber zur Zeit in Schweden, während er an seiner PhD über praktische Zimmerei arbeitet, wofür er Arbeitsmethoden zur fertigung von Fachwerk-Konstruktionen untersucht. Sein besonderes Interesse gilt den unterschiedlichen Methoden des “Afbinding, Opsnøring and Tilridsning,”, Dänischer Brgriffe, die (unzureichend) mit Tearing and Marking can be translated.

The Scandinavians take traditional craft much more seriously than here in the UK, and there are many good training programs. Ulrik began his training as a carpenter at the Dacapo Craft School in Sweden, which was originally a vocational school for carpenters, which deal with traditional building techniques, but later was incorporated into the University of Gothenburg . He has now earned a bachelor's degree and is now working on a five-year research project for his PhD .

While I admire the attitude of Scandinavians to the traditional crafts, it seems as if practically oriented PhDs are not yet established in this area, so he is always looking for ways, "a practical investigation into an academic world to carry out, without losing the performance of the craft out of sight. I own a practice-oriented PhD made and have guided later other people with similar projects, is perhaps something that can assist in me. I'm looking forward to spending in Japan some time with Ulrik and discuss these issues.

Lina Lo Gillefalk

a large of their time with Ulrik practical construction projects, both in their own yard as well as other projects that spread across Europe are, because in Sweden there are mainly log construction designs and a few half-timbered buildings. The Japanese Kesurokai offers the opportunity to expand his knowledge!

Ulrik will travel to Lina Lo Gille Falk, his fiancee, to Japan, which just makes their conclusion as a monument conservationist, and has specialized in cultural heritage buildings in the area ("bebyggelsesantikvarie") specialized. It will monitor the project and together they want to write about the importance of practical workshops on the preservation of practical skills and the intangible, cultural heritage of the construction work.
