Höjd kompetens inom offentlig upphandling (kapitel 9) En mycket stor del av den offentliga upphandlingen är på ett eller annat sätt kopplat till produkter, tjänster eller processer som innehåller arkitektur, form och design. De upphandlande myndigheterna har ett stort ansvar att omsätta våra gemensamma medel på bästa sätt. Effektiva verktyg och hög kompetens behövs för att säkerställa att rätt upphandlingsform tillämpas, reglerna tolkas på ett relevant sätt, att uppföljning görs och att kunskap om området möjliggör en större inriktning mot kvalitet i offentliga upphandlingar. Förslagen och bedömningarna omfattar bland annat att: •fortsatt och utökat stöd bör ges till vissa forskningsaktörer för att öka kompetensen inom upphandling av varor och tjänster inom området arkitektur, form och design, och inom innovativt samhällsbyggande utifrån perspektivet gestaltad livsmiljö. •Upphandlingsmyndigheten i samverkan med Kommuner och Landsting (SKL) bör ta fram en kvalitetspolicy för kommunerna, för upphandling av arkitektur, form och design. •Upphandlingsmyndigheten bör utveckla och erbjuda metodstöd och handledning för nya upphandlingsformer, som underlättar inriktningen mot kvalitet i den offentliga upphandlingen av gestaltningstjänster. •upphandlande myndigheter och leverantörer ska ha tillgång till ett forum för att möjliggöra möten och dialog. Insatser för kunskap, kompetens och samverkan (kapitel 10) Invånarnas engagemang och delaktighet är en viktig förutsättning för att kunskapsnivån inom området och andra berörda områden ska utvecklas och stärkas. Medborgardialog är ett sätt att kommunicera med invånarna och väsentlig för en långsiktigt hållbar samhällsutveckling. Barn och unga ska tidigt få kunskap om arkitektur, form och design. Studenter på arkitektur-, form- och designutbildningar vid högskolor och universitetsutbildningar bör få en utvidgad kunskap i andra ämnen . Arkitekt- och designerrollen utvecklas genom gränsöverskridande samarbeten och beslutsfattare och beställare av arkitektur, form och design inom offentlig verksamhet, näringsliv och organisationer ska ha kunskap för att använda områdets möjligheter. Utredningen pekar på problemet med snedrekrytering till utbildningarna. Breddad rekrytering ökar utbildningens kvalitet och utvecklar både studenterna och utbildningarna. Förslagen och bedömningarna i kapitlet är bland annat att: •kvaliteten i arkitektur-, form- och designutbildningarna bör utvärderas ur perspektivet breddad rekrytering för att främja ökad mångfald. •det görs en forskningsutlysning i hållbart samhällsbyggande utifrån perspektivet gestaltad livsmiljö. •ett fortsatt stöd till forskningsnätverken kan möjliggöras genom den kommande forskningspropositionen. •konsekvenserna av införandet av form- och designutbildningarnas studieavgifter för studenter som är medborgare i stater utanför det europeiska ekonomiska samarbetsområdet ska utredas. Behov av förändringar av gällande lagstiftning (kapitel 11) I kapitlet beskrivs gällande bestämmelser i , väglagen, banlagen och . I samband med att handlingsprogrammet Framtidsformer beslutades gjordes ändringar i (1987:10), väglagen (1971:948) och lagen (1995:1649) om byggande av järnväg (banlagen) genom införande av de så kallade skönhetsparagraferna. Paragraferna medförde att beställare i offentlig sektor tidigt kan ställa lämpliga krav på den estetiska utformningen. Utredningen föreslår att: •inga förändringar görs av de aktuella paragraferna i väglagen, banlagen och . •regeringen bör utvidga anslaget till innovativt byggande som ska gälla fler kategorier inom bostadsbyggande. Reglerna för byggande i experimentsyfte bör också ses över. •Myndighet för Gestaltad livsmiljö bör få i uppdrag att samlat följa upp de ändringar i aktuell lagstiftningen som trädde i kraft och sedan förändrats vid översyn av respektive sektorslagstiftning. Konsekvenser av förslagen (kapitel 12) För ett inrättande av Myndigheten för Gestaltad livsmiljö är den ekonomiska konsekvensen långsiktigt kostnadsneutral. Själva ombildandet kan dock innebära kostnader för arbete i och berörda myndigheter. Förslaget att samlingarna ska överföras till ett statligt finansierat museum innebär att en ekonomisk reglering ska göras som lokalbehoven måste se över för berörda verksamheter. Utredningens övriga förslag får inga eller endast mindre ekonomiska konsekvenser i form av ökade kostnader. Den nya tjänsten riksarkitekt som föreslås för är en ofinansierad reform som påverkar det överskott som betalar tillbaka till staten. Utredning av en fond för stöd för utvecklingsinsatser och exportfrämjande föreslås. Förslaget kan generera kostnader om en särskild utredare tillkallas. Statliga myndigheter föreslås ta fram program för arkitektur, form och design, vilket kan innebära en ny kostnad för de myndigheter som inte arbetat med sådana program tidigare. Implementerade program kan innebära kostnadsbesparingar. Förslagen innebär generellt sett ingen direkt påverkan på den kommunala självstyrelsen genom lagstiftning. Utgångspunkten för utredningen är ett inkluderande och demokratiskt samhälle med lika tillgång till goda livsmiljöer. Detta ligger till grund för långsiktiga konsekvenser i form av lika fördelning av välfärd, tillgänglighet till vård, skola, service, offentliga miljöer och digitala tjänster för alla invånare. En konsekvens av ett stärkt område innebär att sysselsättningen ökar genom ökade förutsättningar för områdets utövare, en stärkt export och att företagen utvecklas. Utredningens förslag ska i förlängningen bidra till en ökad hälsa, jämställdhet, rättvis fördelning och demokrati i vid bemärkelse och ska ha positiva konsekvenser för möjligheterna att nå de integrationspolitiska målen. Designed Living Environment – a new policy for architecture, form and design: The Commission of Inquiry’s remit The current policy on architecture, form and design was adopted in 1998 via the Framtidsformer [Forms for the Future] action plan. Since then much has happened, both in the field of architecture, form and design, and in society as a whole. In 2014 the Government decided that policy in this field should be reviewed. The Commission of Inquiry entitled Gestaltad livsmiljö – en ny politik för arkitektur, form och design (Ku 2014:02) [Designed Living Environment – A new policy for architecture, form and design (Ku 2014:02)] was therefore given the remit to review the current policy on architecture, form and design and to propose a new policy in this field. The objective of the remit is to strengthen the value and significance of architecture, form and design to the individual, the living environment and the sustainable development of society. According to the Directive (Dir. 2014:69), the Commission of Inquiry will suggest how a new policy on architecture, form and design can be formulated based on an assessment of the field’s future challenges, and how architecture, form and design can have a greater effect in the relevant areas of society. The remit includes analysing the use of concepts and language in order to promote and develop communication about architecture, form and design. In a comparison with other countries, the Commission will describe what lessons can be learned for formulating a new Swedish policy for this field. The Commission will analyse the national objectives for an architecture, form and design policy and propose new objectives where necessary. The Commission will analyse and propose measures to raise competency in public procurement and to increase opportunities for knowledge development and training at various levels in the context of the sustainable of society. According to the supplementary directive (Dir. 2015:24), the Commission will also analyse and submit proposals for how the architecture, form and design field can be characterised to a greater extent by dialogue and participation which contribute to sustainable social development. The consequences of the proposals will be described. Analysis of the current policy (Chapter 2) The Framtidsformer action plan was adopted in 1998 and constitutes the current policy on architecture, form and design. A review of the measures implemented as a result of Framtidsformer shows that a large number of activities were initiated and carried out. The political will to make the field more cohesive and to implement broad measures was a positive mobilisation of forces for the development of architecture, form and design. In subsequent years the level of activity was high but the Commission has found that today's knowledge about and application of the action plan is limited. The Commission believes that comprehensive changes in society have led to the expansion of the field of architecture, form and design since Framtidsformer was formulated. The perspective has shifted from Framtidsformer’s pronounced environmental, product and object perspective, which is still relevant, to a greater awareness of challenge-driven processes and the value of the processes in and of themselves. There is now a deeper understanding of globalisation’s physical, cultural, environmental and social consequences. The conditions for and possibilities of production, consumption and communication have changed, mainly as a result of extensive technological development. and increased migration have contributed to an awareness of and need for cultural diversity. Research and climate change have made us more aware of nature's terms and limits and of the fact that development must occur in a sustainable . Taken as a whole, this constitutes a basis for the need for renewed objectives based on today's challenges and for a continuous follow-up of an policy for architecture, form and design. Discussion of the language and concepts (Chapter 3) A communication and discussion of how the concepts of architecture, form and design are used aims to increase understanding between the field’s practitioners, regardless of the roles in which they encounter each other in the process of society . A shared concept of what architecture, form and design do is the starting point for a deeper insight into which values should guide the development of a designed living environment. Excessively divergent interpretations of this field’s content and meaning can be detrimental both to the work with architecture, form and design, and to a policy intended to strengthen the position of this field. A shared viewpoint also creates an opportunity to bring together various practitioners and stakeholders. In order for the policy and its long-term measures to have a broad impact, the Commission believes it is necessary to have a continuous discussion about and communication of the field as a cohesive whole and of the perspective of a designed living environment in the context of the relevant societal challenges. The perspective of a designed living environment and society’s challenges (Chapter 4) The starting point of the report is a holistic perspective based on the individual human being’s needs and possibilities both today and in the future. We have chosen to call this holistic perspective designed living environment and it is the core of the new policy which we propose. The perspective is based on the view that architecture, form and design are a cohesive field which shapes the human living environment in interaction with other social and policy fields, the inhabitants and the business community. Architecture, form and design provide powerful tools and methods, which, through deliberate and inclusive usage, can contribute to a sustainable development of society and to bridging the growing economic, social and geographical divides in society. Under the overall heading of Sustainable development with the three dimensions of environmental, social and economic sustainability, the Commission identifies a number of societal challenges. Climate and resources is a discussion of unsustainable resource use and how climate change is challenging people's life patterns. In the section entitled Technological development we describe a radical technological development and the consequences of digitisation and increasing access to information. Urbanisation, the city, and rural development addresses the ongoing globalisation’s effects, segregation, health differences, accessibility, demographics and the development of the countryside and small localities in relation to urbanisation and densification. The section entitled Housing discusses housing’s significance to the individual and society, and the fact that the extensive housing construction in permits great opportunities to create communities which social, economic and geographical divides. The perspective of a designed living environment and the architecture, form and design objectives should always relate to society's challenges and help to resolve them. The policy should be periodically evaluated and new measures initiated. An , debating and engaged architectural, form and design policy will thereby continue to be relevant to addressing future challenges. Policy on architecture, form and design in other countries (Chapter 5) The Commission was mandated to describe how policy in this field has developed in a few selected countries and what the current situation in this field is like today. The Commission examines the architectural and design policy work of , , the , the UK and Commission, and also examines the interaction between the actors in architecture, form and design. Based on the Commission's directive and perspective, the Commission also indicates what policy work on sustainable social development is like internationally in an overall survey of some cities and countries' policy objectives and strategies. The Commission notes that national support in the form of tools and methodological advice to municipal architectural policy is well developed in , for example. The UK and are far advanced in the design of public sector services to increase trust among citizens. Both the public and private sectors perceive advantages in using design expertise in their development in both the product and service sectors. Furthermore, the comparison in this chapter reveals that the countries described have come a long way with regard to the renewal of their policy but that they do not have a cohesive perspective on architecture, form and design in the same way that does. In its work on a new policy from the perspective of a designed living environment, is a role model. Proposal for new national objectives (Chapter 6) Since the late 1990s, state measures in architecture, form and design based on the objectives have promoted development in this field and provided good support for work done in this field. However, we believe that these measures should be characterised by a broader approach based on the perspective of a designed living environment, in which the field’s tools are given an role in solving society's challenges. We therefore propose new objectives for this field. The objectives will be designed to interact more closely with the existing environmental and cultural policy objectives and also other relevant objectives. The overall objective of the national policy for architecture, form and design is to strengthen the field’s influence and thereby help to create a well-designed living environment with long-term sustainability. In working to achieve this goal, state measures in architecture, form and design shall actively promote: •a holistic view characterised by quality, cooperation and dialogue in the creation of an attractive designed living environment, •an inclusive and democratic society with access to good living environments, both individual and shared, •exemplary action from the public sector, in all its roles, for enhanced quality in a designed living environment and •broad and cross-sectoral knowledge development in education and for practitioners and actors in the field of a designed living environment. for a Designed Living Environment (Chapter 7) To meet the objectives and achieve a powerful and long-term impact, the Commission believes a state agency is required which can develop and drive the policy for architecture, form and design, and which can continuously track the development of knowledge, provide a perspective, collaborate, stimulate, debate, follow up how the state is fulfilling its function as a role model, and, when necessary, propose new objectives. The Commission proposes that (Arkdes) is restructured to be the Agency for a Designed Living Environment. The name should be regarded as a working name and can be finally determined at a later date. The proposal involves the following: •The collections will be transferred to a state-funded museum with good conditions for handling both the conservation and exhibition of the collections. •The exhibition activities in their current form will not form part of the new agency. The agency will be able to have exhibition activities of an investigative and debating nature and will also produce and participate in productions of exhibitions at other locations. •a design function will be established at the Agency for a Designed Living Environment to provide support for and increase the use of design methodology in state activities. •The Agency for a Designed Living Environment will cooperate closely with the existing and new regional actors, which will function as nodes within the field. •The agency will be a national meeting place with good capabilities of providing a perspective on and demonstrating the benefit of architecture, form and design, and of stimulating other actors to adopt and drive the perspective of a designed living environment in their respective operations. •The pedagogical remit, library and research activities will be included in and developed as part of the new agency’s operations. •The agency will follow up the state’s work and function as a role model by cooperating with other agencies and will be responsible in various ways for ensuring that the perspective of a designed living environment is applied and used within the public sector. •The agency will allocate monies from the development fund proposed by the Commission for this field. The public sector and proposed measures as part of a new policy (Chapter 8) Measures by the central, county council and municipal governments will support the policy for architecture, form and design nationally, regionally and locally. The Commission gives an overall description of the public sector and the municipalities’ and county councils’ tasks, and gives proposals for how the public sector should work together to strengthen the perspective of a designed living environment. The Commission’s proposals and assessments in this chapter include the following: •The position of national architect will be created at . will be given special responsibility for developing cooperation over architectural quality in construction and property management by the state. •a development fund will be built up to promote a development of the field of architecture, form and design throughout the country and to support export-promoting measures. •the Agency for a Designed Living Environment and will be mandated to provide guidance and support to the development of architecture, form and design programmes in state agencies. •international exchange in and the Swedish export of architecture, form and design will be strengthened. The exportpromoting actors should be supported in their efforts to raise the cultural values and strengthen exports in this field. •the Agency for a Designed Living Environment, , and , and Planning will be mandated to develop guidance and provide support for the development of municipal programmes for architecture, form and design. •state funding will be given to the wild card system to increase diversity and stimulate the architectural and design industry by giving practitioners at the start-up stage a greater opportunity to participate in procurements, competitions and innovation processes. Greater competency in public procurement (Chapter 9) A very large proportion of public procurement contracts are in some way linked to products, services or processes which contain architecture, form and design. The procuring agencies have a great responsibility to employ our common funds in the optimal way. Effective tools and a high level of competency are necessary to ensure that the correct form of procurement is applied, that the regulations are interpreted in a relevant , that follow-up is done and that knowledge about the field enables a greater focus on quality in public procurement. The proposals and assessments in the chapter include the following: •continued and increased support should be given to some research actors to increase competency in the procurement of goods and services in the field of architecture, form and design, and in the innovative of society based on the perspective of a designed living environment. •The for Public Procurement in cooperation with the Authorities and Regions should develop a quality policy for the municipalities for the procurement of architecture, form and design. •The for Public Procurement should develop and provide methodological support and guidance for new forms of procurement which facilitate the focus on quality in the public procurement of architectural, form and design services. •procuring agencies and suppliers will have access to a forum to enable meetings and create dialogues. Measures for knowledge, competency and collaboration (Chapter 10) The population’s involvement and participation is an important prerequisite for the development and strengthening of this field of knowledge. Citizen dialogue is a tool for communicating with the inhabitants. Children and young people should acquire knowledge about architecture, form and design early on and throughout their entire schooling. The role of the architect and designer should be developed through cross-sectoral cooperation. Students of architecture, form and design programmes at colleges and universities should be given broader knowledge during their training. It is also important that decision-makers and procurers of architecture, form and design in public-sector activities, businesses and organisations have the knowledge to utilise the possibilities of this field. The Commission raises the problem of selection bias in recruiting students for the educational programmes. Broader recruitment increases the quality of the education and develops both the students and the programmes. The proposals and assessments in the chapter include the following: •the qualities of the architecture, form and design educational programmes should be evaluated from the perspective of broadened recruitment to promote greater diversity. •a call should be made for research applications in the field of a sustainable society from the perspective of a designed living environment.
