Architecture of Finland
The architecture of Finland has a history spanning over 800 years,〔Richards, J.M. 800 Years of Finnish Architecture. London: David & Charles, 1978. ISBN 0-7153-7512-1〕 and while up until the modern era the architecture was strongly influenced by currents from Finland's two respective neighbouring ruling nations, Sweden and Russia, from the early 19th century onwards influences came directly from further afield; first when itinerant foreign architects took up positions in the country and then when the Finnish architect profession became established. Also, Finnish architecture in turn has contributed significantly to several styles internationally, such as Jugendstil (or Art Nouveau), Nordic Classicism and Functionalism. In particular, the works of the country's most noted early modernist architect Eliel Saarinen have had significant worldwide influence. But even more renowned than Saarinen has been modernist architect Alvar Aalto, who is regarded as one of the major figures in the world history of modern architecture.〔(Alvar Aalto-thisisFINLAND )〕 In an article from 1922 titled “Motifs from past ages”, Aalto discussed national and international influences in Finland, and as he saw it;
In a 2000 review article of twentieth century Finnish architecture, Frédéric Edelmann, arts critic of the French newspaper Le Monde, suggested that Finland has more great architects of the status of Alvar Aalto in proportion to the population than any other country in the world.〔Frédéric Edelman, article in ''Le Monde'', Paris, September 19, 2000.〕 Finland's most significant architectural achievements are related to modern architecture, mostly because the current building stock has less than 20% that dates back to before 1955, which relates significantly to the reconstruction following World War II and the process of urbanisation which only gathered pace after the war.〔(Constructing the Finnish welfare state since 1945 )〕
1249 is the date normally given for the beginning of Swedish rule over the land now known as Finland (in Finnish, ''Suomi''), and this rule continued until 1809, after which it was ceded to Russia. However, under Russian rule it had a significant degree of autonomy as the Grand Duchy of Finland.〔Pentti Virrankoski, ''Suomen historia - Maa ja kansa kautta aikojen'', SKS, Helsinki, 2012.〕 Finland declared independence from Russia in 1917, at the time of the Russian Revolution. These historical factors have had a significant bearing on the history of architecture in Finland, along with the founding of towns and the building of castles and fortresses (in the numerous wars between Sweden and Russia fought in Finland), as well as the availability of building materials and craftsmanship and, later on, government policy on issues such as housing and public buildings. As an essentially forested region, timber has been the natural building material, while the hardness of the local stone (predominantly granite) initially made it difficult to work, and the manufacture of brick was rare before the mid-19th century.〔Riitta Nikula, ''Architecture and Landscape - The Building of Finland'', Otava, Helsinki, 1993.〕
