This is a highly provocative and interesting inquiry into the politics of Finnish architecture, tackling issues other critics avoid: The Taboo Legends, The Vulnerables, The Gossip, The Sham Internationalism, and more. The book consists of four parts: Architectural Futures, More or Less Architecture, Zone-Age Man, and The End of Finnish Architecture. Why did Aalto have to die to discover he had so many friends? Did Pietilä achieve his most radical project? Is there a mafia in the world of Finnish architecture? If you want to know the answers, and if you are truly serious about Scandinavian architecture, you must read this book.

The narrative is largely based around four conceptual characters: Decadence (the body of creation), The Learner (the infant of knowledge, the sponge (soaking everything in), The Shadow (the keeper, creator of boundaries), and a fourth character representing a creature existing and inhabiting the text. These metaphorical characters take the reader through a very personal presentation of what constitutes architecture. It involves the five human senses, and the impact that the dimension of time has on architectural experience. It involves highly abstract, subjective descriptions of veils, models, and laminations, presented in various text forms: poetry, pure description, prose. An intriguing intellectually stimulating book.

This marvelous publication aims to highlight the more interesting examples of Estonian wooden architecture from different stylistic periods, as well as to present a survey of the birth and development of the country’s major “collections” of wooden houses- from urban areas to slums and worker’s quarters. The author hopes to raise public awareness of the cultural and historical significance of wooden architecture, as it requires the immediate attention of conservationists in order to be properly preserved for generations to come.
