Mikko Heikkinen and Markku Komonen are the most important architects in post-Aalto Finland. The architects’ characteristic compositions and materials- collages of geometric forms, metal screening, industrial materials, suspending sails, clear and colored glass- are related to the philosophy and aesthetics of minimalist, conceptual, and earth art. They have been widely published throughout Europe and in American trade journals, among the 22 projects featured are the spectacular Finnish Embassy in Washington D.C.; the new McDonald’s Headquarters in Helsinki; the striking Airport Terminal in Rovaniemi; the award-winning Heureka Finnish Science Center in Vantaa; the European Film College in Ebeltoft, Denmark. Includes plans and elevations.
