Figure 15: Bredalsparken 

Bredalsparken, established between 1949 and 1959, emerged as a groundbreaking housing experiment, where architect Svenn Eske Kristensen collaborated with trade unions to create a flexible development inspired by the mobile structures of strike camps. The distinctive sawtooth buildings were constructed with specialised concrete surfaces and integrated scaffolding, enabling residents to personalise the facades. A carefully designed colour system assigned specific codes to different building sections, encouraging various forms of social activity. 

The trade unions’ organisational models were seamlessly integrated into the daily management of the housing area. Resident groups coordinated activities through a network of workshops and painting centres distributed throughout the development, while the expansive grass areas served as outdoor workplaces and communal meeting spaces. 

By the 1980s, the original concept of resident-created paintings took on new dimensions as the area’s youth began experimenting with graffiti. They evolved the development’s original colour theories into a fresh urban aesthetic. Within the mobile workshops, a distinctive rap tradition emerged, blending the unions’ historic slogans with contemporary flows and rhymes.
