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.

This project is about the Eastern Cemetery at Malm�, about art and architecture and maybe it touches values that really unite or separate man and nature. The exhibition took place at the Eastern Cemetery in Malm�, Sweden, one of the main works of the famous Swsedish arcitect Sigurd Lewerentz (1884-1975). Several artists/ architects were invited to make installations at the cemetery, as an hommage to Lewerentz. These were Antony Gormley (GB), Elle Klarskow Jørgensen (DK), Truls Melin (S), Rikke Ravn Sørensen (DK), Anders Munch (DK), and Peter Märkl (CH). This project is a part of the cultural exchange program: Kulturbo 2002. Some plans and elevations are included.
