Concrete Architecture in Finland
by Maritta Koivisto (9789516828889)

Concret is a challenging material. Ask any layperson to come up with a list of its most characteristic features, and one will hear words like: coarse, stony, massive and harsh. However, a skillful architect can, like a sculptor, find the delicate side of this commonplace material; its plasticity, free form, and even smooth, shiny surfaces. The different types of buildings in this book, all recent high quality concret architecture, range from large public buildings to small private homes. Apart from the impressive architecture itself, the book also depicts the various structural solutions which made these unique buildings possible.
