The \nScandinavian countries in particular underwent an intense modernisation \nphase with the aim to distribute welfare to all. Yet, the relationship \nbetween welfare values and design in Scandinavia is anything but stable.\n The spatial and political legacy of post-war construction varies \namongst Denmark, Sweden, and Norway and their welfare models have been \nchanged, contested, and copied over time. This book explores how \narchitecture, once seen as a medium for universal welfare, inclusion, \nand political participation, is now often associated with the opposite, \nsuch as alienation, exclusion, and segregation. The volume offers new \nperspectives on the history and redesign of post-war architecture and \nurbanity. \u003c\/p\u003e \n    \n    \n        \n            \u003cdiv class=\"metadataInfoFont\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Drawing on several years of research across Scandinavia \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Three photo essays show projects in Denmark, Norway, Sweden \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Well-known contributors \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"metadataInfoFont\"\u003e\n\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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thordis Arrhenius","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48279257678075,"sku":"9783035627961","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9783035627961_df5ab321-262f-4829-8fe0-31bd7c07019e.jpg?v=1772488396","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/architecture-and-welfare-9783035627961","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
