  • Alvar Aalto's Masterpiece – Villa Mairea a DVD Film
    PRESS RELEASE Free use Alvar Aalto’s Masterpiece – Villa Mairea a DVD Film Alvar Aalto’s Masterpiece – Villa Mairea is a sensitive documentary film written, filmed and directed by Rax Rinnekangas. Villa Mairea was the home of Maire and Harry Gullichsen, designed by Alvar Aalto and built in Noormarkku, the Ahlström ironworks estate in 1939. The narration for the film has been written by architect Juhani Pallasmaa, who is also the film’s narrator. He leads the viewer through the rooms of Villa Mairea, and helps in understanding the different levels of Aalto’s philosophy as well as the building itself, a building which has become one of the icons of modern architecture. The booklet accompanying the film includes two articles. In the first, architect Kristian Gullichsen writes about the ideal home to which he moved in 1939 when he was seven years old. The house has since become an uninhabited monument. At times, however, Villa Mairea awakes to the life of a family, the games and laughter of children or as a discussion forum and meeting place for international artists and architects. In the second article Juhani Pallasmaa delves deep into the philosophy of the house. Rax Rinnekangas is a director, photographer and author. He has published over 20 books: novels, short stories, essays and photography books. He has held over 40 private exhibitions in Finland and around the world and has received several awards. His central theme is man and the memory of the past. In his documentary Alvar Aalto’s Masterpiece – Villa Mairea the importance of light as one particular visual element is also strongly present.

  • COLLECTOR´S GAZE the Art Collections of Kristian and Kirsi Gullichsen & Juhani and Hannele Pallasmaa Pori Art Museum 07.06
    COLLECTOR´S GAZE The Art Collections of Kristian and Kirsi Gullichsen & Juhani and Hannele Pallasmaa Pori Art Museum 07.06. - 08.09.2013. Exhibition architect: Kirsi Gullichsen Media Day Thursday 06 June 2013 at 11.00 Collector Talk Friday 07 June 2013 at 12.00 Opening Friday 07 June 2013 at 18.00 At present, the building is the main thing in art museums and art is an alibi for constructing it. The works then decorate these excellent spaces. The Pori Art Museum follows a completely opposite idea. Kristian Gullichsen In 2006, the Pori Art Museum launched a series of exhibitions entitled THE COLLECTOR’S GAZE. Opening in June 2013, Art from the Collections of Kristian and Kirsi Gullichsen and Juhani and Hannele Pallasmaa is the fourth in the series, and completely exceptional. The museum’s exhibition spaces will now meet the personal collection of the designer of the museum building together with close colleagues and their collections. What happens to a work of art when it is transferred from one context of interpretation, one environment, to another – from the artist’s studio to a gallery, and from there to a collector’s home and in turn to an art museum? How is the dialogue of the exhibition space, art and architecture formed? What happens to architecture when its navel is cut, when it distances itself from the visual arts that link to shared existentialist soil? What is collecting, and what is a collection? Is it something that is consciously constructed? Or did art just become part of life and did the art works find their way into the collector’s home? The concept of art produced by art history and maintained by museums has only grudgingly accepted references to private tastes in art.

  • 24 Villa Mairea
    VILLA MAIREA 24 Alvar Aalto Scott Poole Alvar and Aino Aalto, Villa Mairea, living room with Aino Aalto and Maire Gullichsen, Noormarkku, Finland, 1939.* The Companions to the History of Architecture, Volume IV, Twentieth-Century Architecture. Edited by David Leatherbarrow and Alexander Eisenschmidt. © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Published 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. As late as 1927, at a time when modernism was making bold advances in the centers of European culture, Alvar and Aino Aalto were designing neoclassical buildings and handcrafted furniture in an array of historical styles in Jyväskylä.1 A small city in the countryside of central Finland, Jyväskylä was far from Turku and Helsinki, the cultural centers of a country that was already on the periphery of European civilization. There was little out of the ordinary in the Aaltos’ work.2 It was com- petent, conventional in its style and appropriate for its place. Looking forward from this point in time, the prospect that a modern masterpiece would emerge from their office seemed unlikely, let alone inevitable.3 Yet, looking back from 1939, the year the Villa Mairea was completed, the trajectory seems clearer. In fact, by early 1938, Alvar Aalto’s exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York was announced in a press release: “The Exhibition of Furniture and Architecture by Alvar Aalto presents the first American survey of the work of the Finnish architect, who is recognized as one of the most important and original modern architects and furniture designers of the past

  • Acts of Symbiosis: a Literary Analysis of the Work of Rogelio Salmona and Alvar Aalto
    Montreal Architectural Review Acts of Symbiosis: A Literary Analysis of the Work of Rogelio Salmona and Alvar Aalto Klaske Havik Delft University of Technology Abstract Presenting a double reading of architectural spaces, this article aims to bring together works of the archi- tects Alvar Aalto and Rogelio Salmona and identify some shared themes in their architectural approaches. While using literary description as a mode of architectural investigation, it shows how the use of writing in architectural analysis can bring to the surface some of the more ephemeral aspects of architecture, such as embodied perception, memory and use - aspects that contribute to the very meaning of architecture but that are hard to describe in purely factual terms. By experiential descriptions, the article will give an account of two projects of each architect, based on my own repeated visits to these buildings over the past two decades. The projects include Centro Gaitan in Bogotá, the Virgilio Barco Library in Bogotá, Colombia (Rogelio Salmona, 2001), Helsinki University of Technology and the Viipuri City Library of Alvar Aalto. The comparitive descriptions will show that the resonances between the work of both architects goes beyond their similar use of brick and their preferences for certain geometries, but rather concern the humanism that lay at the basis of both their architectural practices, a human interest translated into form, materiality and light. MAR Volume 4, 2017 42 Klaske Havik | Montreal Architectural Review : Vol. 4, 2017 Despite having operated their practices in the very different cultural, geographical and climatological conditions of Finland and Colombia, the approaches of Aalto and Salmona in regard to the experiential, material and social aspects of architecture seem rather similar.

  • The Functional and the Aesthetic Meet in Harmony
    6526 Kunstbrochure/2001 ENG 03/07/02 10:54 Side 1 The functional and the aesthetic meet in harmony More than 50,000 people pass through Copenhagen Airport every day. We believe that a clean and relaxed airport, with beautiful architecture, top-quality design and artistic decoration, together with appealing art that has a surprise or two to offer, help to give passengers that sense of well-being that makes for an enjoyable start to a journey. A piece of art in an airport has difficult conditions to con- tend with. It has to compete with signs, advertisements and temp- ting shop windows for the attention of the passenger. It will never receive the undivided attention of the observer it would in a gallery or private home. It must be an integral part of the architec- tural surroundings and yet be visible enough and demonstrative enough to catch the eye of the preoccupied passenger rushing past it. On the other hand, what art gallery can guarantee the artist an audience of 50,000 people - every day? Jens-Flemming Sørensen’s fountain in Pier C, shown on the cover of this guide, is an excellent example of the unique opportu- nities an airport can offer an artist. We wanted an artist-designed fountain in our airport. The artist presented a proposal and as the dialogue between the artist and the airport progressed, limitations and new possibilities of his original concept emerged. We wanted to make the piece a central element of the building and give it a function as a meeting point or waiting area.

  • Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
    V VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA The city of Vancouver is truly of the 20th century. When the small town of Granville was incorporated as the city of Vancouver in 1886, it had more in common with American cities west of the Rocky Mountains than with the rest of Canada. San Francisco had served as Vancouver’s main link to the east before the completion of Canada’s transcontinental railway in 1887. Within five years the community of 1000 had grown to nearly 14,000 and the young city became a supply depot and investment center for the Klondike gold rush of 1897–98. From these boomtown beginnings, metropolitan Vancouver is now home to more than 1.8 million people. During the early 20th century, rapid growth fueled construction of neighborhoods along the street railway and interurban lines. Before 1910 many homes were constructed of a prefabricated, insulated, four-foot modular system, designed and manufactured by the B.C.Mills, Timber, and Trading Company. Known as Vancouver Boxes, these efficient and economical houses were characterized by a single story set on a high foundation, a hip roof with dormer windows, and a broad front veranda. From 1910 until the mid-1920s, the most popular house for middle- and lower-class families was a variant of the California bungalow, typified by front gables, exposed rafter ends, and wall brackets, and often chimneys, porch piers, and foundations of rough brick or stone. These Craftsman homes, a small-scale version of the Queen Anne style, were popular amongst the suburban working classes. At one point South Vancouver was expanding at a rate of 200 families per month, all housed in California bungalows.
