HØJE GLADSAXE_PERCEPTION THEN
GALGEBAKKEN_PERCEPTION THEN
NOW
NOW
THEN_ Initially created with Le Corbusiers thoughts on efficient ways to house large numbers of people in response to urban housing crisis, using new modern architectural forms to provide organisational solutions that would raise the quality of life of the lower classes. NOW_ The area has somewhat adapted the smaller scale of the detached house or smaller city using front gardens, Allé´s enclosed playing areas and heavy use of hedges. showing the need for people to relate more to their neighbour.
THEN_ Initially created with the idea of breaking down barriers between public and private space and seperating traffic to ensure safety for children. Many recognisable elements from the village, such as small alleys, broader streets, a common square, public front gardens are used to create intimacy and make people connect. NOW_ The concept´s still working. A strong feeling of ownership and community comes across when visiting the area.
