Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. New Zealand architect's impressive views on Finnish architecture Architect RUSSELL WALDEN once saw a picture of Otaniemi Chapel. The building made such a great impression on him that he wanted to take a closer look at the clean lines of Finnish architecture in person. In 1988 his dream came true. Walden was able to experience the spiritual intensity which the Otaniemi Chapel radiates. FINNISH HARVEST grew out of Russell Walden's trip to Finland. It is primarily a personal interpretation of the Otaniemi Chapel, but it also deals with other Finnish architecture which is important to the author. In addition Walden writes about the birth of Finnish design, with its close connections to nature, opening perspectives on Finland's cultural history and cultural figures from Alvar Aalto to Eino Leino.
