Riassunto

An architectural investigation of the Danish “good life”

How have spatial changes affected the welfare experiences of citizens? What happens when long-standing institutions are restructured, dismantled or displaced elsewhere? How do emerging types of welfare space inform—or become informed by—shifting conceptions of the role the welfare system plays in our everyday lives? This volume seeks to address these pressing questions and more. Using Denmark as a case study, the book traces spatial transformations in the country’s welfare system, from the end of the so-called golden age of the welfare state in the early 1970s to today.
Architectures of Dismantling and Restructuring adopts a clear-eyed, nuanced perspective toward welfare and the “good life,” investigating the consequences of Denmark’s neoliberal turn and other significant sociopolitical changes. A rich analytical sequence of drawn visualizations supplements the book’s textual and photographic descriptions.
