Acanthus 1992. Art of Standards
Acanthus 1992 deals with early Finnish modernism and focuses on standardisation. The theme is closely related to the life’s work of Aulis Blomstedt, for the first time surveyd as a whole by Juhani Pallasmaa in this book. Included is also a complete catalogue of Blomstedt’s works, compiled by Erkki Vanhakoski. Alvar Aalto’s early standard-based designs are presented by Elina Standertskjöld. In addition to the Finnish studies, the book includes a writing by the Russian Vladimir Degtyarov on the townscape of Jekaterinburg.
