Kristian Gullichsen, Erkki Kairamo and Timo Vormala have created over the years a partnership grounded on individual differences and on a fundamental agreement on what should be and can be, today, the mission of architecture.

Each one of their executions is the description of a small adventure, as well as a familiar place, steeped in recollections and expectations. Whether it be an industrial plant, a town centre or a public housing district, located in a city centre, a suburban district or along the seashore, each design proves that to express an idea what is needed is not rhetorics but clarity.

The book ranges from the first less-known buildings of the seventies, still bound to the prefabrication theme, up to the latest projects for entire city districts having a strong urban drive, transiting through the production of the eighties, in which the classic themes of modern architecture, from Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto to Soviet constructivism, are revisited.
