This short lecture course is an introductory package of the history of Finnish architecture, from the vernacular wooden houses to the hi-tec architecture of the 1990s, what was built, when and why? The aim is to become more aware of the architecture you encounter in, for instance, Helsinki, and to understand how building and architecture are interconnected with the general development of Finnish culture and society.

The course leader is Netta Böök (architect M.Sc.), and the lectures will be held at the Museum of Finnish Architecture, Kasarmikatu 24, Helsinki (www.mfa.fi). The course is organised by the Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture in collaboration with the Museum of Finnish Architecture.
