Dear Nuccio,
"The constructions made by animals are rationalistic.
They are precise and unchanged, the same every day
and every year. (...) If architecture is made completely
rational, people become animals." (Sverre Fehn)

2047. Jyväskylä Defense Corps Building
Querida Cristina,
En esta vieja postal se puede ver a la derecha de
la imagen y pasado los dos edificios más bajos,
el Cuartel General de la Guardia Civil Finesa
(Defense Corps). Esta es una importante obra
temprana de Alvar Aalto que proyectó con solo
28 años. El edificio responde en su estilo a una
transición del Clasicismo Nórdico al Funcionalismo
que ya empezaba a dominar en los primeros años
de la década de 1930.
Muchos besos,
R
2046. St. Mary's Cathedral. Tokyo
Dear Koji,
"Tradition can, to be sure, participate in

"The straight line leads to the
