A renowned photographer of architecture brings us the best and most striking of Finnish architecture, transporting us into a world that already seems to have arrived at the future. Exteriors and interiors from a primary school painted in burnt sienna; the stark and imposing Finnish embassy in Washington, with its spider-web like exterior design; St. John’s church, all angles and light; the amazing underground swimming baths in Helsinki which, with their ghostly lights, suggest outer space; an anonymous apartment house in Helsinki, all glass, slants, with whimsical outdoor structure-are featured in stunning color photographs. This book should be in the library of all who are passionate about contemporary architecture.
