  • 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. Älylä and Seminar Hill garden suburb, 1 Helamaa, E., Arkkitehtuurikoulutus Suomessa, 175 vuotta, Rakennustieto (Helsinki, 2000), 24 2 ibid. 36 2 3. Inhabitants of the villas, 4. Personal style, 5. Spirit of place and time, 6. Documentation. The work was organized to be a collaborative pilot study between the Art Education Institute and the so-called ALMONDe-group (Azmin, Laapotti, Majurinen, Oksala [Novel Design]).

Sociological Aesthetics Welfare | Ortega Sanz | 474 WELFARE STATE. SOCIOLOGICAL AESTHETICS Modern architecture and democracy on Nordic countries, Denmark [My theme] concerns itself with the creation of beauty and with the measure of its reverberations in the democratic society. By the word “democracy” […] I speak of the form of life which, without political iden- tification, is slowly spreading over the whole world, establishing itself upon the foundation of increasing industrialization, growing communi- cation and information services, and the broad admission of the masses to higher education and the right to vote. What is the relationship of this form of life to art and architecture today? Walter Gropius1 ERBE DER MODERNE DAS In 1954, thirty-five years after founding the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius travelled around the world, revising his ideas about a democratic environment for the twentieth-century man.

  • 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.

  • PALE NORDIC ARCHITECTURE Why Are Our Walls So White?
    PALE NORDIC ARCHITECTURE Why are our walls so white? BATCHELOR’S THESIS SISKO ANTTALAINEN AALTO UNIVERSITY PALE NORDIC ARCHITECTURE – WHY ARE OUR WALLS SO WHITE? – ABSTRACT The aim was to investigate the perception of whiteness in Nordic architecture and analyse the rea- sons behind the pale colour scheme in a public space context. The word pale was used alongside with white, since it gave broader possibilities to ponder over the topic. The geographical research area was framed to cover Sweden and Finland, although the search for underlying reasons extended beyond the borders of the North. Architecture was viewed as an entity, including both exteriors and interiors. The focus was on reasoning around the question “why” to arouse professional discourse about the often-unquestioned topic. Analysing the background of a commonly acknowledged phe- nomenon strives to make architects more conscious of the background of their aesthetics so that future decisions can be based on a more complex set of knowledge rather than leaning on tradition. Because of the wide demarcation of the research question, the project started with self-formulated hypothesis, after which they were thoroughly analysed. The formulated pre-assumptions were, that the Nordic paleness is, firstly, a consequence of misinterpreted past architecture. Moreover, natu- ral circumstances of the North, the symbolism connected to white and the tradition of canonising modernism were established as hypothesis. Lastly, architect education, combined with the tendency of prototyping with white materials were assumed to endorse the pale colour scheme. The misinter- pretations’ possible implication in the perception of whiteness was also examined as a part of the re- 1 search.
