Abstract

The architect couple Raili (née Paatelainen, b. 1926) and Reima Pietilä (1923–1993) held throughout their career an exceptional position in Finnish architecture. Their projects were regarded far too original to fit into the “official” image of Finnish architecture and consequently, they were often criticised for romanticism, impracticality and high costs. Despite all this, the Pietiläs were able to realise several projects which today are considered among the classics of Finnish architecture. Recently, Raili and Reima Pietilä’s architecture has attracted new attention as a result of new research, books, exhibitions and renovations of their buildings.
