ONE OF THE BEST ARCHITECTURAL CHANNEL

[@Archimarathon]

Thanks

[@grantfoxf]

Lol, the Mac in the fireplace

[@Archimarathon]

People all report they feel warmer near it. Interesting psychological study

[@gabybordino6024]

Wow! I cannot stress enough the importance of visiting architecture to deeply understand it, and you know that so well. This trip to Finland is gonna be awesome! Your explanation about why Finnish architecture is so important and why there´s no postmodernism there is just perfect! And it was like how much? A minute or two? I can´t imagine how it would be like ten days being exposed to all your knowledge. And all those amazing buildings! Definitely a great tour! Ps. Archimarathon STUDIO looks amazing. Congrats!

[@Archimarathon]

Thanks Gaby

[@SketchyArc]

Heck yeah! all of this sound so exciting! the virtual tours and showcase to come are going to be exciting!

[@Archimarathon]

Forget virtual tour when you can experience the real thang

[@miu3239]

Please Vlog this trip! so that we can vicariously live this tour and are just piss poor.

[@Archimarathon]

Yes I will definitely try to

[@riinaaapa7948]

Omg - I would LOVE to join the tour if I could afford a second trip to Finland this year!!

I am still waiting for all the Swedish hate comments.

[@washout04]

Who whole financial goal is to one day have a small home designed by these guys.

Getting a flight to Finland nowwww

[@teddykaplan2078]

What has always made Aalto the best of modernist architects (in my personal opinion) is his humane touch when drawing buildings (especially private houses). What I mean by this is that I can appreciate Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House, Le Corbusier's Villa La Roche-Jeanneret and The Villa Savoye on a cerebral level as works of art and design. But would I want to live in them? No. And the reason for me is simple; they are too clean and sterile, they are showpieces. They are like a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, a car that is suberb on track but try to use one as an everyday car and the shine of them wears of rather quickly. Aalto's houses however you can see - and use - as homes, because they were designed as such. You can actually see yourself living in Villa Mairea, Villa Skeppet or Villa Kokkonen and think of them as homes and not as machines to live in.

[@joekomono]

Great video. I really wanna go. Finland looks like such a cool place

[@Archimarathon]

Come

[@lvchlvn]

What a phenomenal contribution Finland has had to design & architecture. I love these films, they keep my hunger for travel, knowledge and curiosity strong - thank you!

[@Archimarathon]

You coming ?

[@lvchlvn]

@@Archimarathon I wish. I'm going on holiday next week for a while. Are you planning something later in the year?

[@Archimarathon]

Probably Spain and Portugal around late November and early December to coincide with World Architecture Festival

Another good video, wish I wasn’t busy during the time :((

[@Archimarathon]

Reschedule

[@Tan4223]

No mention of Alvar’s namesake Aalto University and the Otaniemi campus? :) There’s lots to see there. For example Dipoli, the campus chapel, the main library of the campus, the old main building of the Helsinki University of Technology etc. The whole campus was actually built from scratch based on Alvar Aalto’s master plan.

[@rollbin]

Yeah, also go see the Santa town in the rovaniemi

[@Archimarathon]

Best in winter and when you are a kid

[@chippychipper2573]

I live in Espoo and have been fallowing your channel for quite a while. Would be very interesting to join your tour in Helsinki as i have never actually visited many of the places that you mentioned my working life is quite busy though and if you have a limited group i understand if you dont want to make it too big.

[@Archimarathon]

Quite a few things to see at Otaniemi and Tapiola.

[@chippychipper2573]

@@Archimarathon Yes reminds me of my trip to Egypt last summer when i asked a local in Cairo if he could guide me witch what direction the pyramids where. He answered that he has never seen them because he just lives there, and he can see everyday the pyramids at the back of his bank notes. Now i realize that i am exactly the same i just live here and i dont think at all what is near me.

[@hypertectonics7009]

Alvar Aalto was such a master. Everyone who can should visit his work. It's an interesting comment that Finland basically ignored postmodernism, and went straight to critical regionalism since the beginning. A similar pattern can be found in other countries around the world. It underscores how ridiculous so much criticism of modernism is.

[@Archimarathon]

His works makes a lot more sense in context.

[@marialindell9874]

Soooo... I live like right outside of Kaleva's chuch in Tampere... holyy fick. Imagine my suprise when two Australian blokes are talking about places which are tied directly to my family and where my mother too is from. Please add the small village of Eura to your list. We have a lot of Alvar Aalto buildings and design there! (Also please do try to get to a stable, where there's Finnhorses! In Eurajoki, the old care home for elders now functions as a stable!)

[@Archimarathon]

Thanks for the heads up.

[@marialindell9874]

Also, I am very young compared to you two, but I can give you a lot more tips on what to do in Tampere in just a day! I can possibly try to establis shome sort of list of thing by email if you guys want to? A free history lesson if you will!

[@Archimarathon]

Kiitos paljon

[@theIdlecrane]

We wanted to go to Finland because of Monty Python

[@Archimarathon]

Crap. I don’t know that reference

[@user-fx4gp5kb8i]

You guys are cool. Your`s footage is the best, it is much better than is on the internet. When Ukraine will be free I will go to Finland too.

[@Archimarathon]

Thank you. Yes. Waiting for that war to end. It’s so sad.

[@chippychipper2573]

pls tell me that there will be some kind of youtube video for us poor people that dont have holidays on july, and dont have so much money.

[@Archimarathon]

Yes we will try to make as many episodes as possible. Current occupied by TikTok contents

[@chippychipper2573]

@@Archimarathon Nice i did not know that you could use tiktok in computer. I have 6 month in Finland left so this gives me good ideas to visit before my leave to my home country Austria.
