Finnish Summer Homes
November 6, 2008 - January 2, 2009
Opening November 6, 6:00 pm

For some 150 years, Finnish architects have regarded the design of their own summer residence or weekend studio as one of their most important works. For them, the summer house is not only a place to spend leisure time but a chance to realize their own architectural ideals and objectives. The summer houses are also experimental houses, which give the architect the opportunity to study a specific technical or structural aspect or to develop spatial concepts.
