TREDJE NATUR er del af dansk udstilling om det danske velfærdsamfunds arkitektur fra 1945 til i dag. Med skoleeksempler fra Svenn Eske Kristensen, Arne Jacobsen, C. Th. Sørensen henover de største nutidige navne deltager vi med Klimakvarteret som er det nyeste projekt i udstillingen. TREDJE NATURS arbejde anerkendes dermed som brobyggere imellem den danske efterkrigsarkitekturs humanistiske tilgang og den nye bys klimaudfordringer og kravet om byer der er tilpasset til det levende. Vi er meget stolte.

Fra arrangøren:
PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST tells the story of the physical settings of Danish life in the years from 1945 to 1975, the years when the welfare state was taking shape in Denmark. It is an inspiring period, even today. Therefore, the exhibition also shows how contemporary Danish architects still build on the ideals and values from back then – mentally and even literally, as many historic projects are being revitalised today.

Architects played a major part in the physical construction of the Danish welfare society. They acknowledged their social responsibility and contributed to carrying out contemporary political visions in the shape of social housing. They created recreational facilities such as gymnasiums, libraries and holiday homes to enable everyone to participate in leisure activities. They designed schools to fit current educational ideals and office and production buildings to serve as settings for modern work life. Architects focused on the needs of the individual, and architecture was democratised.

Today, many Danish architects are still inspired by the strong heritage of the 1950s and 60s. Yet welfare today has acquired another meaning, simply because society has changed the way it has. Current issues include social imbalance, keeping middle class families in the city and sustainability – environmental, social and cultural. These all require different physical settings. But the new generation of Danish architects still tries to live by the same unwritten rule as their predecessors: putting people first.
