Abstract
In a similar manner as local art movements struggle with overwhelming global movements of art, the same applies to architecture: there are local differences. Helsinki School of Photography consists of tens of photographers who have graduated from the school since c. 10 years now. This collection of artists naturally displays a wide array of subjects and characteristic expressions despite Person's curating. However, there are certain symptoms which are typical for Helsinki School of Photography: the theme of loneliness, seriousness, inertia, simplicity, symmetrical, central compositions, frontality without depth, patina, romanticism, the avoidance of sunlight and shadows, as well as a distinct pictorial odor & taste. Our experimental thought is this: how would Helsinki School of Photography appear if it was about architectural creation? Which kind of architecture could be called "Helsinki School of Architecture"? Maybe this is already existing? Which could be exemplary works of architecture in this genre?
