Abstract

Gennem et særligt fokus på børn undersøger artiklen, hvordan idéer og forestillinger om velfærdsarkitektur kom til udtryk i fotografier i tidsskriftet Arkitekten i perioden 1930–1970.

Ordet velfærdsarkitektur er af nyere dato, men denne artikel viser, at idéer og forestillinger om en sammenhæng mellem rum, arkitektur og velfærd har en længere historie. Gennem en undersøgelse af fotografier fra tidsskriftet Arkitekten, dokumenterer projektet, at særligt børn optrådte som symbolske figurer i fotografierne. Hensigten var ofte at signalere, at hvad vi i dag ville kalde for velfærdsarkitektur, skabte ordnede rum for omsorg og dannelse. Andre af disse fotografier er mere åbne i deres betydninger og viser arkitekturen som et mulighedsrum, der ikke nødvendigvis er underlagt klare mål.
