DECADES OF FINNISH ARCHITECTURE

27.03.2010 - 31.12.2010

Kasarmikatu 24 Museum of Finnish Architecture 00130 Helsinki, Finland

The exhibition explores the history of building in the 20th century against a background of Finnish society from National Romanticism to Classicism and Functionalism, through the Modernism that created the countrys international reputation to the architecture of the 1970s, taking into account economic, political and technological developments. These factors have always influenced not only the volume of building but also the architectural shapes. Phenomena connected with construction are viewed from a broad perspective, and from larger to smaller, from urban planning to facade materials and interior decoration.
