1801. Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki, Finland

Querida Sara,

Este famoso museo en Helsinki fue ideado originalmente
como fruto de dos fuerzas convergentes en su emplazamiento:
la "línea cultural" que lo curva hacia el magnífico Palacio de
Conciertos llamado Finlandia Hall, y la "línea natural" que lo
desvía hacia el paisaje del fondo y la Bahía de Töölö. El
resultado es un edificio espectacular y luminoso.

Paralelismos entre espacio y vida.

1848. Medical dental bldg. San Francisco, CA

Dear Walter,

San Franciscan architect Timothy
L. Pflueger was one of the most
prominent and influential local
architect in the city in the first half
of the twentieth century. Besides this
Medical dental building in Neo-Mayan
style he was the author of buildings like
The Stock Exchange, Roosevelt Middle
School, or the Telephone Building.

Regards,
R
