As the first outcome of her DIS research project “The Triangle of architectural productivity” Angela Gigliotti brings to the Copenhagen Architecture Festival a site-specific installation designed by OFFICE U67 at the DIS Library. This exhibition aims to shed a light on how US and Swedish architectural production was transmitted to a Danish audience from the pages of a Danish architectural magazine, Arkitekten, immediately before the advent of neoliberalism in Denmark. The overall research scope is to focus on the cross-influences between Denmark, Sweden, and the USA and to frame the modes of architectural production under the Cold War (1947-1991) as a way to understand the implications for welfare architectural professionalism.
