    Information Without Meaning

    To mark the 150th anniversary of his birth, Birger Federley, Tampere’s leading architect of the Art Nouveau period, got his first monography, compiled by Juha Jaakola. The book, however, falls short on expectations in portraying Federley’s architecture in its national and international context.

    Underrated but Essential

    One is hard-pressed to find an iota of information about barracks from general architectural histographies. To fill this gap, Professor Robert Jan van Pelt of the University of Waterloo School of Architecture has written a history on the underrated, prefabricated building type.

    Prospects from the Troughs

    If there is a silver lining to be found in the current downtrend, it is the fact that it at least offers us an opportunity to evaluate the results of the latest construction boom critically, writes Kristo Vesikansa.

    Where Can One Find Housing Reform?

    The reform of housing construction often requires completed pioneering buildings. We asked Jyrki Tarpio, a postdoctoral researcher in housing design, to evaluate the apartment buildings presented in the Housing Reform issue (2/2025) that originate from Housing Reform architectural competitions and the City of Helsinki’s Re-Thinking Urban Housing programme.

    What Did We Learn from the Previous Building Boom?

    For the past couple of years, housebuilding has been stagnant across Finland. Homes built during the boom years that preceded the downturn have come under sustained criticism for their poor quality. What should the industry do differently when construction activity picks up again? We asked five architects to share their solutions.

    Unique, Personalised and Urban Housing

    When an architect or client sets out to build a multistorey residential building for their own use, the end result is often more intriguing than what is typically generated through ordinary housing production – for example, a home base for a theatrical community or a combination of a private home and an editorial office for an architectural journal.

    Concept: Conviviality – “Convivial Spaces Draw People Into Encountering One Another”

    While a community is typically based on a given shared purpose or interest, social interaction in general can also be centred around the simple objective of enjoying each other’s company. This is illustrated by the concept of conviviality, says Katja Maununaho.
