At the time, the majority of the Finnish architects had a very pragmatic approach, and they were suspicious of all kinds of theorising and formal experiments. Pietilä´s design methodology, on the other hand, was a combination of intuitive expression, morphological and topological analyses, linguistics and ambivalent symbolism, which annoyed many of his colleagues. He wrote that Dipoli was a revolt against the Bauhaus-based standard architecture, which had ended up on a far too safe middle way in the late 1950s.i Pietilä´s ideas got warmer reception abroad: he had an extensive international contact network, and his projects were widely published in the international architectural magazines. TKY turned out to be an ideal client for Pietilä: the technology students were more than willing to support experimental architecture, and they had resources to carry out the project. However, the project was complicated by the fact that both the architects and the client had little experience in implementing such a large and complex building.

  • Architecture of the Forest Observations on the Relationship Between Spatial Structures in Architecture and Natural Spaces
    Architecture of the Forest Observations on the relationship between spatial structures in architecture and natural spaces Lauri Louekari Nordic Journal of Architectural Research Volume 20, No 3, 2008, 16 pages Nordic Association for Architectural Research Lauri Louekari Department of Architecture, University of Oulu, Finland Abstract: Architecture of the Forest deals with the relationship between the spatial and formal structure of the forest and architectural space and form. A good introduction to the topic is provided by a study of forest-related biological knowledge, literature, art and environmental aesthetics. Also included within the scope of interest is the architect’s interpretation of this relation-ship. This type of study falls into three strands of inquiry, with the first one focusing on the physical and spatial structure of the forest from an archi-tectonic viewpoint. The second strand is concerned with cultural and indi-vidual interpretations of the forest as it appears in, for example, literature and art. To shed light on these issues, we can examine relationships be-tween the natural world, culture, biology and architecture. In the third strand, the focus of interest lies in exploring how the forest has been used as a source of architectonic space and form, using examples from modern Finnish archi- tecture to illustrate the presented ideas. Architectonic inter-pretation is conducted as part of the design assignment, using architec-tural methods. Such interpretations can be analyzed to determi- ne what opportunities the forest offers as a theoretical framework. One of the aims of this study is to introduce concepts that could be used to characterize spatial structures in both nature and architecture.

  • INTERNATIONAL PROCESS METALLURGY SYMPOSIUM Metallurgy As a Tool for Challenges in Circular Economy
    INTERNATIONAL PROCESS METALLURGY SYMPOSIUM Metallurgy as a tool for challenges in circular economy 5 – 6 November, 2019 Aalto University School of Chemical Engineering Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering Espoo, Finland SYMPOSIUM The purpose of this International Process Metallurgy Symposium is to bring together researchers and industry experts to share latest results and developments in the area of Process Metallurgy, or extracting metals from their primary and secondary raw materials in a sustainable manner. This Symposium has the sub-title of “Metallurgy as a tool for challenges in circular economy”, which emphasizes the important role metallurgy and metallurgists have in solving the resource deficit in metals and minerals. We have already seen the shift from “traditional” raw material research towards recycled materials and their impact on metallurgical processes. Another emerging or growing trend is the need and request for minimizing and utilizing waste in processes. All this underlines the importance of fundamental metallurgical research, knowledge and education, when we are changing from linear economy towards Circular Economy of Metals. The presentations of the Symposium focus on secondary raw materials or their elements’ behavior in metallurgical processes, or industrial integration. The topics have theoretical, experimental, simulation or modeling, as well as industrial approach. Further on, environmental and advanced materials preparation issues in the secondary material processing are also covered in the Symposium. We also continue to bring together doctoral students and professionals from industry. Metallurgy students in European universities have been encouraged to participate and conduct this Symposium as a part of their postgraduate studies by preparing individual tasks to be informed after enrolment.
