Markku Komonen, editor of Arkkitehti from
1977 to 1980, had set up a practice with Mikko Heikkinen in 1974 and their
breakthrough work is the prize-winning entry, Heureka, in the 1985
architectural competition for the Vantaa Science Centre. Komonen’s definition
of architecture is ingenious: he does not deny the apparent demise of Modernism
but neither does he give in to the populist notion (in Finland) of going over

This, surprisingly enough, provides an
excellent foundation for Reima Pietilä, for whom “architecture is a general

CIAM group in founding the new international
journal Le Carré Bleu, which had its head office in Helsinki.19 Blomstedt also offers new
potential and a fresh, modern and rational explanation to the idea long held to
be too romantic, of beauty that pleases the eye, by combining architectural
dimensions with human dimensions, architectural harmony with the harmony of
musical intervals, and thus architecture with the age-old natural philosophy of
Pythagoras and the universal logic of nature. The long-awaited Modernism has
now been realized but the promise of modern architecture has been greater than
the results that can be seen in the surroundings. Finnish Modernist
architecture receives a shot in the arm from Blomstedt, in... more ...
