A new Modern Helsinki Map featuring modern architectural highlights in the Helsinki region has been published! Welcome to the launch event at Helsinki Central Library Oodi on Friday the 22nd August at 6pm.

The newest issue of the Nordic Review of Architecture has arrived! This time, the articles take a critical look at architectural institutions – museums, competitions, exhibitions and so forth – again in almost(?) all Nordic languages! 🇫🇮 🇮🇸 🇳🇴 🇸🇪 🇩🇰 Wishing you peaceful Easter holidays 🌿 #architecture

This is how our display table looks at the moment. So crowded! Which is a good thing: loads of new arrivals, old classics, and intriguing finds. Never getting tired of this, not even after a week like this. Have a good weekend, you all 🔆 📚 #architecture

An amazing little new book arrived from Sweden: Banal Buildings (ed. Stellan Gulde; Banal books 2025). Banality, my favourite word in architecture! #booksky #architecture

Sometimes it's restorative to just take a longer perspective. Theme issue of Architectural Design vol 57, no 9/10 1987 looks at the architecture of democracy with an insightful essay by Charles Jencks and Maggie Valentine. The #architecture of #democracy is always about spaces of appearances.

Arranging our little box of old exhibition catalogues. It's amazing how early the Museum of Finnish Architecture grasped the relevance of Zaha Hadid – this little booklet is from 1988, the great year of the Deconstructivist Architecture show at MoMa. #architecture

Just got another copy of the sold-out classic Le Corbusier and the Tragic View of Architecture by Charles Jencks (1973). One of the rare architecture books where fame is not taken for granted. #booksky 📖📚 #architecture #architects

On my way to the shop. This Kruunuvuorenranta ferry ride is a bliss. The icebreakers look so strong and Helsinki cityscape so peaceful and elegant. #helsinki
