trudeslund cohousing community, birkerød, copenhagen, denmark 1979-1981. architects: tegnestuen vandkunsten, copenhagen. this photo was uploaded with a CC license and may be used free of charge and in any way you see fit. if possible, please name photographer "SEIER+SEIER". if not, don't. we went here, the whole family, on an overcast autumn day to see if this was a place we would want to live. to my mind, the photos hold the answer, at least to a degree - this panorama is the best I have uploaded in a while. you should view it as large as possible. it shows the gardens side of one of vandkunsten's co-housing communities from the early days of the office, a collective of thirty three families living closely together in row houses, sharing lots of facilities and eating together every night. a brain-child of the 1960's left wing, the cohousing movement still lives, albeit quietly, while media and government have been preaching private ownership for decades, emphasizing the secret and mysterious benefits of living next to each other instead of together. the sensitivity to the gentle curves of the Danish landscape shown in vandkunsten's early work is a visual clue that the socialism underlying vandkunsten's architecture at the time was romantic and even dreaming rather than marxist. it is tempting to say that it went nowhere, my hope is that the people of trudeslund would disagree and that for a dream that was essentially about people taking charge of their own lives it went quite far. I work for vandkunsten, a company much changed since '81, but with the original partners still at the office. commissions for cohousing projects are few and far between these days - perhaps they always were, it always took a lot to go against the norms of the surrounding society - but we still try to include the lessons learnt from these communities when we build today. more words, yada, yada, yada. the vandkunsten set. www.vandkunsten.com |
