These and others similar requirements
forced Finnish architecture in the 1950s to aim high, perhaps too high. Presumably,
observing these rules was accompanied by an internal surplus growth in reserves
of meaning and pluralism – unresolved pluralism instead of striving for
oneness. Perhaps architecture served the tasks which, in the final analysis,
the architects themselves did not require.
In
Finland in the 1950s, we were approaching an architecture that was a synthesis
of art and culture – a degree of premium form. Society viewed this sort of
building culture as foreign. Architecture proclaimed the solemn message of
integrity, but it was recognized as utopian. It did not correspond with the
realpolitik of the time and its pragmatic economics.
As
we progressed into the 1960s, architecture had to face up to an ever stronger
headwind. Several bursts of development took place, but together they worked
against architecture.
Synthesis in the grip of techno-culture
The 1960s became the decade of
simplification and reduction
What does this mean?
Industrial
mass production brings with it an irreconcilable conflict between quantity and
quality.
The
idea of social equality is realized with the help of standardization. The
sameness of basic housing needs calls for more or less the same kind of
construction.
The
international markets of distribution and consumption upset requirements for
local quality and local differences.
Organization
and scientific research create new rational models for thought and action.
Respect
for individual artistic intuition collapses.
The
basic architectural content of buildings also experiences a series of rapid and
radical changes. The following list illustrates the transformation that appears
in ways of thinking in the 1960s – the building is now an object and an item of
production, where the aim is:
To
minimize choices – to eliminate the ideal of abundant choice;
To
produce buildings that can be repeated ad infinitum – to eliminate the basic
idea that limits are essential;
To
find a universal application, that is a building suitable for everywhere and
every use – to eliminate the ideal of individuality in a specific case;
To
find a scientifically developed solution – to eliminate the possibility of
something being invented by chance;
To
find a system of division that runs through the whole and a logical connection
of each part of form a system – to eliminate the idea of an indivisible
undifferentiated whole;
