Abstract

The essays comprising this new volume are drawn from an intensive decade of teaching, lecturing and writing in the new millennium, as well as from a lifetime of biographical and critical observations on both architects and artists. A new, extended interview, “Poetics and Life,” introduces and frames the concerns and character of Encounters 2. Essays reflecting on architectural essences, meanings and boundaries expand upon Pallasmaa’s commitment to an authentic architecture of existential depth and phenomenal appeal. New intellectual territories are explored, focusing on concepts of “vagueness” and “atmosphere.” Importantly, a series of artistic and architectural “portraits” are nested inside the thematic structure and amongst the more abstract contemplations. These specific critical commentaries and personal appreciations have a distinct and prominent place in the author’s repertoire, and provide an intimate particularity to Pallasmaa’s thought and expression. Portraits are drawn of prominent Finnish artists such as Kain Tapper, Juhana Blomstedt, Maaria Wirkkala, Jorma Hautala, and Raimo Utriainen and notable Finnish architects such as Alvar Aalto, Reima Pietilä, and the partnership of Mikko Heikkinen and Markku Komonen. These are all leavened by further commentaries on Steven Holl, Fred Sandback, and Rachel Whiteread – and the great Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala as well as the award-winning Finnish film director Aki Kaurismäki. “I see the fundamental task of architecture,” Pallasmaa states, “as the mediation between the world and ourselves, history, present and future, human institutions and individuals, and between the material and the spiritual. This is nothing short of a poetic calling ... Architecture can strengthen and maintain our grasp of the world and ourselves, and support humility and pride, curiosity and optimism.” Encounters 2 maintains and amplifies these ambitions, providing rich insight and bracing support in the contemporary moment for students and professionals, artists and architects, critics and citizens alike.

Abstract

Parliament is the space where politics literally takes shape. Here, collective decisions take form in a specific setting where relationships between political actors are organized through architecture. The architecture of spaces of political congregation is not only an expression of a political culture, it also shapes this culture. Since 2010, architecture office XML has researched the architecture of spaces of political congregation. The book 'Parliament' explores the double-sided relationship between space and politics by documenting and comparing the plenary halls of the parliaments of all 193 United Nations member states. Almost like a manual archive, the book documents the rooms in the same style and scale and also provides key data and the assembly hall's location within the larger parliament building. Organized as a lexicon, the book allows comparison of all 193 national parliaments in the world.
