  • Wivi Lönn in Electrom-Journal-Word
    1 Wivi Lönn Villas in Electromedia: A Pilot Study in Videographic Art Education Introduction Wivi Lönn (1872-1962) is one of the first female architects in the whole world. In the USA as well as in Finland 1 there were a few ladies who studied architecture and also received the title somewhat earlier, but Wivi herself had created an independent carrier, with around a hundred important projects. She won the first prize in the international competition with a male colleague, Armas Lindgren 2. The project was the Opera of Estonia. Wivi Lönn has been notified as an important national figure. The Finnish TV has made a program about her work. She has also received some proclamation on the internet, from the cities running architectural education throughout Finland (Helsinki, Tampere and Oulu). This was the background when Wivi Lönn was selected as the subject of study for a course in digital art education and digital culture at Jyväskylä University, Jyväskylä, Finland. Evidently, it was because the Institute was and still is operating in an old beer factory designed by the very own, Wivi Lönn and surrounded by her famously designed nine villas and one of the city’s early library. The project is described from the following viewpoints: 1. Wivi Lönn, 2.

  • Rethinking National Romanticism in the Architecture of Riga at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
    SILVIja GROSA 56 Rethinking National Romanticism in the Architecture of Riga at the Turn of the Twentieth Century Silvija Grosa The article deals with the problem of interpretation related to national romanticism in Riga’s early twentieth-century architecture, focusing on the development of the term, as well as on its suitability. The complex cultural-historical context of early twentieth-century Riga is delineated; as in many peripheries of Europe, Riga was permeated by searches for a national style in the neo-romanticist vein typical of the period. This study attempts to answer the question of whether this trend, known in the Latvian history of architecture as Latvian national romanticism, really expresses the aspirations for a Latvian national style, as Baltic German architects were involved in its implementation and the trend was critically reviewed in early twentieth- century Latvian periodicals. In addition, architects of Latvian origin also put forward some ideas regarding classical heritage as a possible paradigm of national art. Fifteen years ago Riga’s historical centre was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, testifying to the unique character and artistic quality of its architecture. This prestigious status has led both local and international circles to take an interest in Riga’s architecture at the turn of the twentieth century; the number of publications dealing with this subject has also increased. Still, not all issues related to the study and interpretation of Riga’s architecture have been resolved. This article aims to take up the problem of interpretation of ‘national romanticism’ in Riga’s architecture; the issue is well described in the text found on the website of the Riga Art Nouveau Museum: National romanticism reflects the attempts of Riga’s architects to create a spe- cific Latvian architecture.

  • Art Nouveau and Finnish Architect Women: Wivi Lönn – a Case Study Renja Suominen-Kokkonen, University of Helsinki Abstract A
    Strand 1. Breaking the Art Nouveau Glass Ceiling: The Women of Art Nouveau Art Nouveau and Finnish Architect Women: Wivi Lönn – A Case Study Renja Suominen-Kokkonen, University of Helsinki Abstract At the end of the 19th century the statutes of the Helsinki Polytechnic Institute took a liberal attitude regarding supernumerary students, making it possible to admit women. Already between 1887 and 1894, six women enrolled to study architecture – Wivi (Olivia) Lönn (1872–1966) was one of them. She became the first Finnish woman to follow an independent career in architecture, designing a large number of projects between 1898 and 1945. This paper discusses how this was possible, and concentrates especially on her early years in Tampere, where she designed several public Art Nouveau buildings. Key words: Art Nouveau in Finland, women architects, Wivi Lönn, the city of Tampere During the 19th century Finland was an autonomous part of Imperial Russia. After being a part of Sweden for 600 years, this new situation from 1809 onwards meant that the country had now its own legislation, gradually also its own money and customs borders. Finland’s development towards modern industries began seriously in the middle of the 19th century, and as there were no developed traditions of professional institutes, nor any Academy traditions, there was a shortage of skilled professionals in technology and the building industry. The state played an active role in the development of professions, and professional groups depended in their aims and strategies on the goodwill of the state bureaucracy.1 The attitudes of the bureaucracy were important for progress in technology, and the education and training of women.

  • Helsinki Hospitals at the Beginning of the 20Th Century Maarit Henttonen, Lic
    Helsinki hospitals at the beginning of the 20th century Maarit Henttonen, Lic. Phil., Curator, Helsinki City Museum Hospital buildings are an important part of the national heritage and constitute important civic environments. As public buildings, the hospitals in Helsinki reflect Finland’s development from a Swedish province and a Grand Duchy of Russia to an independent welfare state. I will first provide a brief overview of the state of healthcare in Finland at this time and then move on to a discussion of Helsinki hospitals built in the early 20 th century. The first hospitals and university hospitals in Finland Records suggest that dispensaries had existed in Finland already in the 14 th century although it was only in the mid-18 th century, with the introduction of provincial hospitals, that hospitals as we understand them today first began to emerge. When sovereignty over Finland was transferred from Sweden to Russia in 1809, healthcare continued to be provided in accordance with the principles established during the years of Swedish rule. The naming of Helsinki as the country’s capital in 1812 and the moving of the university from Turku to Helsinki in 1828 gave a huge boost to healthcare provision and healthcare construction in the city. The German-born architect Carl Ludvig Engel (1778- 1840), together with the A E Staubert, a hospital architecture specialist from St Petersburg, designed the university’s Clinical Institute building, which was joined some decades later by the New Clinic, designed by E B Lohrmann (1803-1870). Thanks to the city’s university hospitals, by the early 20 th century, Helsinki was enjoying good healthcare provision.

  • Façades and Functions Kimmo Sarje
    Façades and Functions Sigurd Frosterus as a Critic of Architecture Kimmo Sarje Alongside his work as a practising architect, Sigurd Frosterus (1876–1956) was one of Finland’s leading architectural critics during the first decades of the 20th century. In his early life, Frosterus was a strict rationalist who wanted to develop architecture towards scientific ideals instead of historical, archae- olo gical, or mythological approaches. According to him, an architect had to analyse his tasks of construction in order to be able to logically justify his solu- tions, and he must take advantage of the possibilities of the latest technology. The particular challenge of his time was reinforced concrete. Frosterus consid- ered that the buildings of a modern metropolis should be constructivist in ex- pressing their purpose and technology honestly. The impulses of two famous Euro pean architects – Otto Wagner and Henry van de Velde – had a life-long influence on his work. Urban architecture with long street perspectives and houses with austere façades and unified eaves lines was the stylistic ideal that he shared with the Austrian architect Wagner. An open and enlightened urban experience was Frosterus’s future vision, not National Romantic capricious- ness or intimacy drawing from the Middle Ages. According to Frosterus, the Belgian van de Velde was the master interior architect of the epoch, the interior of the Nietzsche Archives in Weimar being an excellent example of his work. However, already in the 1910s Frosterus’s rationalism developed towards a broader understanding of the functions of the façades of business edifices. In his brilliant analyses of the business palaces by the Finnish architects Armas Lindgren and Lars Sonck, he considered the symbolic and artistic values of the façades to be even more important than technological honesty.

  • Tradition in Nordic Architecture
    DOSSIER Tradition in Nordic architecture JAIME J. FERRER FORÉS [email protected] Introduction “Karelian architecture is now an entirely valid question, since its meaning is not confined only to values ethnographic or historical existence. There are values that have a direct connection, even the most useful for modern times”. Alvar Aalto, 1941 Paradoxically, in the globalized world, contemporary architecture is represented as an illus- tration of the contemporary rupture between the rigor of structural geometry and the turgid corpulence of imagination. Moreover in times of cultural globalization local specificities dis- solve. Nevertheless, there are trends, cultural traits, and influences of critical or intellectual tradition that persist. There are technical resources or habits, particular materials, climate or daylight conditions that give rise to regional identities. It is true that mentalities and cultural references now tend to unify, but these do survive in consciences as points of reference. These experiences speak of the search for a materiality, for an unpolished tactile quality, for an archaic touch that is increasingly out of the reach of architects. The paper discusses the work of Alvar Aalto and Jørn Utzon in relation to Karelian wooden architecture, which represents an outstanding example, in terms of integrating local and uni- versal architectural traditions with contemporary understanding and techniques, to create site-specific architecture.

The awareness of the site and tradition is also combined with the sophistication of detailing.

In 1923 before moving to the United State, he became the leading architect of his generation in Finland with his well- known works that are Helsinki railroad station (1904–14), National Museum of Finland (1902-1904) in Helsinki and urban plan- ning projects for Reval (now Tallinn), Estonia, and Canberra, Australia. Therefore, his design attitude could be divided into two phases. Practicing in Finland for 25 years, he first established an international character based on his National Romantic and Jugendstil-inspired architecture. The second phase of Eliel Saarinen’s career began when he emigrated to the United States in 1923, after placing second the 1922 Chicago Tribune Tower competition. In this period, his city planning and Art Deco designs resonated through American cities in the first half of the 20th century.
