Heidi Svenningsen Kajita's exhibition shows architectural recordings of inhabitation- and building processes in 1960s modernist large scale housing estates. Dwellings, fences, sheds, institutions, vegetation and mess can be seen to frame courtyards in the Big Plans. Residents, housing associations and local municipalities have both appreciated and cared for these spaces over time.
 
Heidi Svenningsen Kajita reveals relations between inhabitation and materiality in large orthographic drawings (180 cm x 230 cm) mixing digital print and pencil on tracing paper, archive material and a text document referring to the architectural specification. Focusing in six places in three different estates in Albertslund, Malmö and Helsingborg this interrogation moves through mental, bodily, physical, constructional and conceptual aspects of use. These explorations aim to expand the technical perspectives of architecture and challenge the dominant problem-oriented approach to the housing estates of this period.
