The Scandinavian countries in particular underwent an intense modernisation phase with the aim to distribute welfare to all. Yet, the relationship between welfare values and design in Scandinavia is anything but stable. The spatial and political legacy of post-war construction varies amongst Denmark, Sweden, and Norway and their welfare models have been changed, contested, and copied over time. This book explores how architecture, once seen as a medium for universal welfare, inclusion, and political participation, is now often associated with the opposite, such as alienation, exclusion, and segregation. The volume offers new perspectives on the history and redesign of post-war architecture and urbanity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eWith attractive photo essays on social housing in Scandinavia \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBased on an interdisciplinary research project by KTH Stockholm, Oslo School of Architecture, University of Copenhagen \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInternationally renown contributors shed light on aspects of the relationship between architecture and welfare \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProf. Thordis Arrhenius, School of Architecture, KTH Stockholm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProf. Ellen Braae, Landscape Architecture and Planning, University of Copenhagen \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr. Guttorm Ruud, Oslo School of Architecture and Design\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 9.4 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 05, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42733962559551,"sku":"9783035627961","price":89.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/faecfff77afb1f5125935bbc6d167dfd.webp?v=1765138125","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/architecture-and-welfare-scandinavian-perspectives-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
