Summary:

Architects are creators of places. Spaces are produced by the social practice of the user within places. Thus, the user is brought into the picture as a producer of space, whereas architects are classified as producers of place. The book addresses the notion of power relations within undefined spaces of transition through case study documentations and by analysing individual and common expressions in four social housing projects in greater Copenhagen. Josefine Ørum Fokdal is a young Danish architect living and working in Berlin.
