Book excerpt: Buildings speak volumes, not just about their occupants or owners, but about the countries in which they exist. From colonnades to paving stones, the architecture of any building does more than simply date the structure—it celebrates the spirit of a people and a nation. Roger Connah's latest book, Finland, explores the culture and democratic spirit of a country whose buildings carry the indelible markings of Finland's political and physical climate. Nearly all of the country's buildings were constructed after 1917, when Finland gained its independence from Russia. The resulting architecture—often springing from hugely popular public competitions—is emphatically democratic in structure and usage. Finland's extreme northern latitudes, for their part, have given rise to buildings with an acute sensitivity to the physical environment and to the delicate interplay of light and shadow. From museums to schools to subsidized housing developments, Connah's Finland is an important survey of the country's architecture. Fully illustrated and with detailed examinations of many of the Finnish master architects—including Alvar Aalto—it is also a valuable contribution to the studies of modern architecture and Nordic history.

Solo unos meses antes de la publicación como libro de las cartas de Ganivet, el 3 de febrero de 1898 veía la luz en Kuortane -en la región finlandesa de Ostrobotnia del Sur- el maestro Alvar Aalto. Arquitecto de tres siglos -nació en el XIX, materializó sus ideas en el XX y dejó una impronta que continúa en el XXI-, Aalto era reticente a considerar la naturaleza desde su estado puro e inalterable, como algo ajeno a la influencia del hombre. Por el contrario, entendía el paisaje como el resultante de la acción humana sobre su entorno natural, que podía ser mejorado a través de la arquitectura:
