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.
