ABSTRACT

The presence of green, open spaces within Danish post-war social-housing estates is visually discernable, however their role and understanding beyond modernistic incentives and ideas of living in health giving nature is limited. There is more to the landscape than meets the eye. This paper challenges dominating and often-oversimplified ideas of Danish welfare landscapes by thickening their unnuanced interpretations and using the 1956 housing estate Bellahøj as a case study. This paper offers insights into the embedded histories, nature/city relations, human dimension and experience of the landscape as central in the materialisation of the societal welfare vision. Through a combination of spatial and historical analysis, this paper brings new perspectives to Bellahøj from the standpoint of landscape studies, highlighting how ideals of nature incorporated within the Danish context and concept of welfare, caused the landscape to become a negotiated ground and inseparable part of the post-war good life.

摘要

丹麦战后社会住宅区的绿色开放空间在视觉上是可识别的，但它们的作用和理解超出了现代主义的激励措施和生活在有益健康的自然中的想法是有限的。风景比眼睛看到的要多。本文通过加厚来挑战丹麦福利景观的主导和往往过于简单化的想法他们无差别的解释并使用 1956 年的住宅区 Bellahøj 作为案例研究。本文提供了对嵌入历史、自然/城市关系、人文维度和景观体验的见解，这些景观是社会福利愿景具体化的核心。通过空间和历史分析的结合，本文从景观研究的角度为 Bellahøj 带来了新的视角，突出了自然理想如何融入丹麦语境和福利概念，使景观成为协商的基础和不可分割的一部分。战后的美好生活。
