With this exhibition, a peak at the future generation of architecture in Norway is offered by taking a look at the younger architects. Their projects often demonstrate untraditional solutions and new thinking, both when it comes to shapes and materials used. As such, their works can be an inspiration.

Throughout the 20th century there has been a wide international interest in Finnish architecture. Special highlights have been the turn of the century, when architecture together with the other fields of culture supported the efforts aiming at national independence; the 1930s, when the independent nation shaped its profile through modern, functionalist architecture; and the postwar reconstruction period in the 1950s, when a distinctly Finnish interpretation of modern architecture was formed, with characteristics suited to Finnish topography and climate. The time we live at present can be regarded as the latest highlight, as is evidenced by the increasing interest of international media, critics, historians and others. This book includes articles by six experts of Finnish architecture, five polemic period writings and over 140 building and project descriptions.

Why is Finnish architecture so good? What is its secret? This book is a contemporary mapping of new architecture, the ‘hip’ ‘hop’ and ‘house’ of young Finnish architects and painters. ‘Hip’ might be cool, ‘hop’ might be a transition, and ‘house’ might be the destination of architecture which must envelope us in the future. 40/40 illuminates the differences within shared, blended concerns, whilst at the same time still hinting at something peculiarly talented about the young architects of this part of the world and their uncanny habit of releasing new energies.

At the Alvar Aalto Symposium in 2000, architecture was likened to an elephant. Elephants live a long time and never forget - unlike a butterfly which lives only today and knows nothing of yesterday. What else is left as a testimony of past empires and cultures, if not their architecture? Today, those same old walls seem good enough again as the settings for new uses of all sorts: a 19th century railway station becomes a museum of art, or dockside warehouse is turned into a luxury hotel. And more people are more interested than ever in “genuine” materials and traditional building methods. In the context of this charged atmosphere discussions are made at the 9th Alvar Aalto Symposium, 2003 American artist James Turrell speaks about ‘old ditch and new water’. In Jyväskylä a study is made on the old riverbed’s geology, as it were, and samples are taken of the new water flowing through it. In Alvar Aalto’s works, tradition and evolution live in symbiosis but they often reveal a desire to surprise and amaze - the slightest touch can change everything. This book includes all the lectures, complete with the final discussion on the two cds. Plans and elevations included.

The legendary Library, designed by Alvar Aalto (1927-1935), is situated in the beautiful city of Vyborg, Russia, on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, between Helsinki and St Petersburg. In September 2003 the Docomomo International Specialist Committee on Technology (ISC/T) arranged the 7th International Seminar and Workshop of Technology in New York. The title of the seminar was The Case Study and the Technology of Sensations. The aim of the seminar was to experience the technology of the Modern Movement in a workshop held in the chosen case study. The papers presented in this book are the results of research and examinations at the location integrated as theoretical, practical and methodological issues considered in relation to restoration. Various aspects of the building construction as well as lighting, acoustics and the sensations of hands-on experience have been examined.

This event included the participation of more than 120 students from all the architecture school’s different institutes. The theme of the international workshop was Arhus Harbour, and this was chosen for several reasons. Today, the harbour area is the site of extensive and rapid develpoment and changes. The architecture school wanted to participate in this and contribute creative and innovative ideas to the ongoing debate concerning the opportunities and pootentials for the development of this area.This publication will hopefully offer an insight in the workshop’s methods, processes and results.
