BIOGRAPHY

Frederik Braüner is a Ph.D. student in Architecture with a Designated Emphasis in European Studies. His research focuses on the history and theory of modern welfare state architecture in the Nordics and the Arctic. In his ongoing Ph.D. research, he is investigating the architecture from the decades of Welfare Colonialism in the Arctic, looking into the social, cultural, and economic factors that influenced the immense waves of urban development and modernization that took place in the post-war decades. In his previous research, he has investigated democratic decision-making policies in contemporary Danish housing developments, gender relations in modernist Scandinavian welfare state housing projects, and postcolonial relations between the Scandinavian countries and the former Scandinavian colonies.

Frederik holds a B.A. in Art history from Copenhagen University and a M.A. in Architecture from the Royal Danish Academy. His thesis project ‘An Intersectional Architecture’ won the Danish Commonwealth Thesis Award, 2021. As a licensed architect in Denmark, he has worked in architectural practice, building restoration, and as an Assistant Editor for the Danish Architecture Journal Arkitekten.
