The 38 items in the book provide the reader with a picture not only of the rich diversity in Finnish sports facility construction but also of its high quality. The book includes conversions and structurally repaired facilities from major complexes to minor grandstand constructions, from national monuments to sports halls intended only to meet the needs of local people. What they all have in common is the high level of design and unstinting implementation, which the reader will ascertain from the illustrations, drawings and verbal descriptions.

Bunschoten visited the Aarhus School to conduct a workshop for 180 students entitled ‘Stirring the City’ intending to sharpen their attitudes towards the urban question, and to realize the importance of social, economic, and architectural conditions. Bunschoten focuses on the dynamic nature of the city which, in his words, can lead to emergent phenomena such as I. Erasure, the loss of collective memory; II. Origination, the growth of new urban form; III. Transformation of political environments; and IV. Migration, the independent evolution of new social structures. With intriguing photographs, drawings and an innovative layout, this book uses these guidelines to explore the inherent dynamism of all cities.
