Dear Sven,

The flagship of Estonian functionalism was the Rannahotell
built in 1937. Its curved middle section, with a roof terrace
facing the Baltic Sea, imitates the machine aesthetics of
contemporary steamboats.

Regards,
R

Dear Elissa,

Gunnar Taucher, who was Helsinki's city architect from 1924 to

schools, and many other facilities. Among these, his harbor
warehouses shown in the picture. Today this building is serving as
a terminal for the Viking Line ferries company.
