SynopsisThis publication explores a series of urgent questions addressing architecture's role in the welfare and everyday life of citizens, from the interdisciplinary perspectives of architecture, art history and anthropology. With Denmark as a case, it examines how the spatiality of the welfare system has transformed, since the end of the so-called "golden age of the welfare state" in the early 1970s until today. How have these spatial changes impacted upon the everyday lives and 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 - changed understandings of the role of the welfare system in our everyday lives?Rather than unfolding a singular narrative of loss and nostalgia associated with welfare dismantlement - or one of triumphant humanization and restructuring of modernist planned environments - it describes shifting spatial materializations of welfare and the "good life" at the intersection of these two tendencies, under the influence of a Danish version of the neoliberal turn and other important societal transformations. A rich analytical sequence of drawn visualization supplements the book's textual and photographic descriptions of welfare space transformation., 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.
