Description
Published by Aalto University on the occasion of the autumn 2013 Wickberg Lectures, this volume comprises writings by specialists in the fields of art and architecture about the international Baroque and its reflections in architecture today. From means of expression in Baroque architecture and modifications of its forms as a bridge to postmodernism, to how “baroque” motifs are manifested in works by ALA Architects and other recent Finnish architecture, it addresses the magical enchantment that encounters with the Baroque can offer to the beholder. With contributions by Paolo Portoghesi, Juho Grönholm, Simo Paavilainen, Juha Leiviskä, and Antonello Alici, among others.
