Querida Cristina,

forma que los pinos y los abedules. De ahí es donde

Dear Peter,
"Staircases 'hung' in voids, boxed forms featured
deep-set windows and quirky extrusions, while strange
totemic objects rose up in defiance of modernism's
rejection of the eccentric." (Jonathan Bell)

2287. Budapest, Palatinus Strand
Dear David,
The Palatinus Open Air Swimming Pool Complex in
Budapest is a masterpiece of the Bauhaus style built
in 1937. The most striking feature is the spiral
staircases, one of them featured partially in this
postcard picture, that provide access to the pools
from the above level.
Cheers,
R

"A building must be like a human being. It must have
a wholeness about it, something that is very important."

Dear Peter,
"Förderer's work was superficially hard-edged, but
self-consciously formalist, even decorative and
playful, in its manipulation of space." (Jonathan Bell)

2284. Hotelli Vaakuna, Helsinki
Dear Sammy,
The five top floors of the Sokos Building, next to
the Helsinki Railway Station, make up the wonderful
Vaakuna Hotel. The incredible light features by
Paavo Tynell, that can be seen everywhere in this
hotel, create a delightful and intimate
atmosphere inside a functionalistic building.
In this vintage postcard one of Tynell's chandeliers
is featuring the double-height space of the hotel
looby.
Best regards,
R

Dear Louis,
"I do think we should say that a building has to be
practical to be able to be beautiful. And further: a
practical building is able to be beautiful only if the
architect has a subconscious sense for beauty."
(Eliel Saarinen)
Respectfully,
R

Querido Juan Luis,

(Le Corbusier)
Un abrazo,
R
