page164from Nordic Architects Writes
Firm faith and trust in people’s ability to
build reality on the basis of an inner view was characteristic in the first
decade of the twentieth century. Correspondingly, the Bauhaus in the 1920s saw
training in building design and industrial design as a synthesis of art and
technology. Thus the architecture of functionalism was born.
After
the Second World War, Finnish architecture of the 1950s was based – at least I
assume so – on the spatial concept of the Futurism of the 1910s and the object
concept of the functionalism of the 1920s. the aim was still an artistic and
technical whole.
What is an artistic and cultural concept of
architecture?
Behind architecture is a weighty view of
the status and task of art as a cultural force. A building is more than a
tangible object intended for use. It has its own internalized picture of
totality. It arrives at an expression that surpasses practical need. Architecture
itself wanted to describe society from all sides and shoulder a heavy
responsibility – one that society saw as superfluous, even dangerous.
What,
for example, is the view of architecture as a genuine picture of the times?
Achieving it called, in individual cases, for a lofty expression of space and
form, which the task in question scarcely demanded.
This
superfluous message, the idea of additional existence, is precisely characteristic
of artistic culture. In artistic and cultural architecture, form has to be
allowed to grow on its own, as a kind of language: the building speaks. The
building is personified. As a system, it exceeds the language of simple
function. The building gives the impression of personification divorced from
people. There is a rhythmic movement in its form, which plays on the feelings. It
is filled with mystic emanations of existence.
When
talking about the essential nature of architecture in the 1950s, architects
used their own reference language. A few examples of the vocabulary of this
sort of jargon or working language will illustrate what we are talking about.
Wholeness
and oneness: a synthesized building complex of any size grows into an
indivisible whole consisting of form, structure and function.
Originality:
architecture has a characteristic space and form of its own.
Reality:
architecture is at one with the modern way of life and architecture is a true
and positive reflection of the times.
Authenticity:
the use and treatment of building materials correspond with the experience of
authenticity we find in nature.
Functionality:
functionality is the common denominator of all other factors – it also
describes the social responsibilities of architecture.
Human:
an architectural work is characterized by scale to suit the needs of living,
and by recognizable and comprehensible form.
Synthesis
of form: a building is a cultural and artistic work at the same time as it is
an article for daily use and a consumer commodity.
