Soft Cover. Zustand: Near Fine. Text in English. 232 pp. A festschrift is defined as "a volume of writings by different authors presented as a tribute . especially to a scholar," and this indeed is one primary intention of Archipelago. As Finnish architect, author, scholar, and critic Juhani Pallasmaa celebrates his 70th birthday, this collection of essays from friends near and far recognizes his contributions to their own lives and to the larger life of architecture. Twenty-three essays and poems from a range of architects, curators, academics, historians, philosophers and students represent the breadth and diversity of Pallasmaa's friendships and his presence in the dynamic of architectural culture. However, a parallel intention of Archipelago is to open further doors and windows into architecture's past, present and future through the observations and declarations of the assembled contributors. Each of the essays can be read as singular efforts in research or meditation, immediately accessible to anyone concerned with the essential nature of the discipline and the ethical practice of the profession. Archipelago is therefore a gift given twice over: once to an inspiring architect and scholar, and a second time to the ongoing discussions of architecture existing and continuing well beyond the boundaries of this immediate archipelago of participants.
