| book description |

Shortlisted for the Architects Sweden Critic's Award 2023 Architecture and Retrenchment explores the â€˜neoliberal turnâ€™ in architecture, through the rise and fall of the Swedish welfare state. There are few better case studies of architectureâ€™s role in the retrenchment and dismantling of the welfare state than Sweden, the birthplace of the world-famous â€œSwedish Modelâ€ and now home to Europe's fastest-growing inequality. Through eight in-depth architectural case studies, Helena Mattsson analyzes how neoliberalism has created conditions for a new built environment which was once closely integral to the welfare system, examining how new architectural strategies and techniques were developed in order to protect the agency of architecture in a newly re-organised society, and revealing the role of architecture in creating new types of segregation, discrimination, and social stratification. With close feminist analysis running throughout â€“ and drawing from oral histories, witness seminars, and participatory workshops â€“ Architecture and Retrenchment provides an original interpretation of how architecture, space, aesthetics, and politics converged at the end of the twentieth century.
