The UT Finland Summer Architecture Institute will focus specifically on the role of architecture within the broader context of national cultural identity. In the architecture of Finland, the constants of cultural conditions frame specific material and formal responses to a range of circumstantial interrelationships between the Finnish landscape and its architecture within an idiosyncratic character of indigenous language and culture. These responses, in the form of Finnish architecture, are highly sensitized to those interrelationships and constitute a deeply-rooted form of un-self-conscious artistic expression.
