The End of Finnish Architecture explored the critically cohesive, programmatic way of looking at Finnish Architecture. It implied the end of Finnish Architecture as a critically singular entity. As Eliot put it: What we call the beginning is often the end / And to make an end is to make a beginning / The end is where we start from. Sa(l)vaged Modernism is a revised and updated edition of this readable and entertaining insider's look at Finnish Architecture. In it the author considers the importance of the 1990s decade to Finnish Architecture. Significant for new buildings like The Washington Embassy, The Museum of Contemporary Art and the recognition of the work of Juha Leiviskä, the author also goes on to assess the state of the architectural -institutions, theory and criticism within the country. The book closes on a constructive note, opening up towards a freedom and plurality emerging in the projects and work of many younger and less known architects.
