Abstract

The program of welfare architecture takes its point of departure in the modern movement. As a reaction towards the dense overcrowded cities, where people were living close together in poorly maintained apartments providing the residents with a potential health problem, new approaches to dwelling design arose. The social engagement in people’s wellbeing had a physical representation in an architectural program. One of the oftenmentioned concerns in the architectural program of the modern movement was: Daylight.
