We visit the Venice Architecture Biennale to see how\u00a0a bookish history inspired the European nation\u2019s pavilion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale is encouraging visitors to sit and read, even to daydream at their leisure, instead of pacing through on a high-speed marathon march.<\/span><\/p>\n

This rest stop, among other things, is the pavilion of Finland in the city gardens, where several dozen other buildings representing the architecture of individual countries organise exhibitions every two years.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pavilion is a modest structure of blue corrugated metal, across from the Netherlands and a few steps from Hungary. It is among the smallest of national pavilions in the garden. \u201cIt\u2019s really a kiosk,\u201d says Anni Vartola, the curator of its recently opened exhibition, Building Minds.<\/span><\/p>\n

A space to stay for a while<\/span>
\nThis exhibition is devoted to the architecture of Finland\u2019s libraries. Those attending are invited to visit, but also to use the place as if it were a library. Seats designed by Finnish modernist master Alvar Aalto are spread around the space, where the history of Finnish library architecture is on view. There is at least one armchair, also designed by Aalto, with comfortable cushions where jet-lagged travellers could easily fall asleep. Wires are there for charging phones. The interior is in wood tones and soft grey fabric made of recycled peat fibres, giving the place the feel of natural warmth and monochromatic understatement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to create a space where you want to be for a while and charge yourself, to build your mind if you wish, as our title says, and also to be at peace and let things happen to you, to absorb them,\u201d says Hanna Harris, the organiser of the exhibition. \u201cThat\u2019s reflected in the exhibition architecture, as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

150 years of history<\/span>
\nThose who follow the historical chronology along the walls will be taken through almost 150 years of library architecture. The journey begins with a Beaux-Arts palace of 1881, still functioning as a library, with an archive of art that borrowers can take home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The journey around the inner walls culminates with models and renderings of the new Helsinki Central Library, also called Oodi \u2013 a massive structure with streamlined wood cladding and a rooftop terrace under what looks like a cloud. It sits across a downtown square from the nation\u2019s parliament. Oodi, which means ode or epic poem, is due to open in December.<\/span>
\nHarris expects 10,000 daily visitors to its three expansive levels once the doors open. Not all of them will be able to fit into Oodi\u2019s sauna.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finns take special pride in their civic buildings, says Harris, who is a daughter of an English father and a Finnish mother. She says that the firm that designed Oodi, ALA Architects of Helsinki, was chosen in a competition from 544 entrants.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an important cultural structure, one of the most important we can have, for reasons of how it resonates in our city. And here we have a building being finalised when the exhibition takes place,\u201d she says. It\u2019s nothing if not timely.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Libraries play a big role’<\/span>
\nGiven the broad theme of this year\u2019s biennale is \u201cfreespace\u201d, Harris saw her country\u2019s exhibition as \u201ca generous gesture, as something that is free and open for everyone, which public libraries very much are\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harris promises that visitors can also read books in the library show.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some background for the project came from Jan Vapaavuori, the mayor of Helsinki and part of the team who opened Building Minds on May 24. A third of Oodi\u2019s \u20ac98 million (Dh421m) budget came from the city. Helsinki also funds another 37 libraries.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a quite young nation in a European perspective, only 100 years old,\u201d he says. \u201cWe used to be a very poor nation, 100 years ago. We don\u2019t have any natural resources. The only resource we have is human capital.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome people saw 100 years ago that the only way ahead for a country like this is to go to its people and educate them as well as possible. \u201cWe don\u2019t have oil, so it\u2019s education, education, education \u2013 and libraries play a big role.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Aalto\u2019s influence<\/span>
\nIf education has been at the core of Finland\u2019s \u201csuccess story\u201d, as Vapaavuori calls it, Aalto has been at the core of its architecture. Aalto designed the Finnish pavilion in Venice, which opened in 1956. His style of unadorned modernism, as seen in a library he designed in 1940, identified him broadly as a great artist. (That library is now in Russia, after Finland\u2019s loss of territory after the Second World War, although Finns still restored it in 1970.) The backless wooden stools that Aalto designed offer places to sit for those who don\u2019t demand comfort. To sit in one of those stools for a long time, you have to really love Aalto or be extremely tired.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pictures of Aalto buildings that were either renovated, repurposed or expanded by later Finnish architects are all over the walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given Aalto\u2019s stature in a relatively small country \u2013 Finland has about 5.5 million people \u2013 the architect\u2019s influence has been inescapable for the generations that followed him, although some tried to rebel.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Oodi about to open in December, Aalto\u2019s legacy has turned a corner, says Tommi Lindh of the Alvar Aalto Foundation, which oversees and advises on the preservation of his work.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe new library,\u201d says Lindh, who was also in Venice, \u201cis made by a new generation that is not afraid to copy something from Aalto. His contemporaries did not want to do it, and the ones who came after were too embarrassed to do it. The young generation has none of these inhibitions. They want to use Aalto as an inspiration and an influence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Life after Aalto<\/span>
\nYet there is something new on the pavilion\u2019s walk through history. If a visitor can sit on Aalto\u2019s stools while escaping the Venetian sun, they can also relax on the soft peat fabric. \u201cI was thinking of different qualities that make up the library space,\u201d says the exhibition designer and architect Tuomas Siitonen, another veteran of Aalto Renovations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think everyone has memories of studying in a library and of someone hissing \u2018shh\u2019 when you happen to speak too loud. I wanted the Library Space in the Aalto pavilion [in Venice] to feel like a library, sound-wise.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo I started looking for a sound-absorbing material that we could use to construct the exhibition architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI found a Finnish company called Konto who had a suitable product that was also sustainable and could be cut and printed on in the way we needed. To me, it presented innovation \u2013 they use a very traditional peat and make modern products out of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So there is life in Finnish libraries and the Finnish architecture after Aalto. Six months, the duration of the Biennale, will be a test of of durable that peat fabric is. As durable as Aalto\u2019s reputation? Now that would be a selling point.<\/span>
