Abstract

"If you are about to build a sauna but do not happen to have a Finn available then you will find this book really useful! It represents the best of Finnish expertise in sauna design. The information it contains relies on a long tradition, practical experience that has developed over generations and which in recent decades has been complemented and updated by professionals in the field. 'Finnish Sauna - Design and Construction' is a definitive authority for those building a sauna for themselves. The book presents in detail the design of the sauna spaces, their construction, and vital elements such as sauna benches and furnishings. It also discusses the properties of different sauna stoves and how to choose one. At the end of the book, four gems of Finnish sauna architecture are presented, each uniquely realised. The book provides the basis for a successful sauna project, for making your dream a reality."--Back cover.

Abstract

The story of OOPEAA began in a rural field in Finland, where the now-iconic Kärsämäki Shingle Church was built by hand by hundreds of volunteers over half a decade. In the years that followed, OOPEAA has established itself as one of Finland's leading architecture firms, one that is distinguished by a sensitivity to material and craftmanship - first under the name Lassila Hirvilammi Architects and, from 2014, as OOPEAA Office for Peripheral Architecture. In text, photographs and drawings, this book traces the office's development into one of the most innovative and exploritory architectural practices in the Nordic region today. Réalisations de l'agence finlandaise OOPEAA fondée en 2011, par l'architecte Anssi Pellervo Lassila : de nombreuses églises au fort contraste entre leur enveloppe extérieure sans ouvertures ou presque, et l'intérieur où règne une structure bois légère; des logements collectifs; un sauna.

Abstract

Out of the Blue showcases Finland’s unique design culture from legendary figures like Alvar Aalto and heritage manufacturers such as Marimekko, Iittala, Artek, or Nokia to a new contemporary generation of chefs, explorers, makers, and entrepreneurs. The book takes an insightful and entertaining look at the typical Finnish characteristics of inventiveness, community spirit, love of liberty, ongoing transformation, and the free rein to be wacky.
