• Charlie Gullström is a Senior Lecturer in Architecture, media, interaction and communication at the Department of Architecture, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm. She leads the Mediated Spaces research group of the Centre for Sustainable Communications, a Centre of Excellence established to develop media and communications services that contribute to sustainable development. From 2005-2007 Charlie Gullström was Director of the Centre, which is funded by the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (VINNOVA), KTH and partners from Swedish industry and society over a ten-year period. Her research and practice seeks to extend our conception of the discipline of architecture by examining the contribution of media, interaction and communication - specifically, the impact of video-mediated communication technologies on architectural practice and the design of distributed work and learning environments (mediated spaces, presence research) with a focus on architectural and technical design which enables mutual gaze in dialogic interaction. Charlie Gullström, who holds a Tekn. Lic. Degree in Architecture (1994) and a M.Sc. Degree (1990) in Architecture from KTH, is also an experienced architect; from 1990-2005 she led a widely-renowned practice specialising in the design of spaces in which learning, collaboration and communication are central, explicit concerns for leading Swedish corporations, including Ericsson, Teliasonera, Swedbank, ICA, Skanska, Siemens, Dafgård and KTH.
