Heidi Svenningsen Kajita is assistant professor in the Section for Landscape Architecture and Planning, University of Copenhagen. Currently working on the research project (Im)possible Instructions: Inscribing Use-Value in the Architectural Design Process (2019–23) funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark, Kajita looks at how architecture and planning (re)produce social processes, focusing on the history and transformation of welfare state large-scale housing. She draws on emerging ethnographic-architectural methodology to combine knowledge of users’ everyday practices, normative frameworks for the built environment, and architects’ drawn and written work. Kajita is a visiting fellow at Newcastle University (2019–23) and a member of the Society of Artists, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (2015-)
COST provides networking opportunities for researchers and innovators in order to strengthen Europe’s capacity to address scientific, technological and societal challenges. There are three strategic priorities: promoting and spreading excellence, fostering interdisciplinary research for breakthrough science and empowering and retaining young researchers and innovators.
Writing Urban Places proposes an innovative investigation and implementation of a process for developing human understanding of communities, their society, and their situatedness, by narrative methods. It particularly focuses on the potential of narrative methods for urban development in European medium-sized cities.
