Puutalo Oy!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New Standards tells the story of Finland\u2019s possibly largest yet relatively unknown design successes: prefabricated wooden houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 1940, the business venture Puutalo Oy produced arracks, buildings and schools for export to countries as diverse as Argentina, Central Africa and Great Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Exhibition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, photographer Juuso Westerlund was commissioned to photograph existing Puutalo houses in Colombia, Denmark and Finland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Westerlund\u2019s photographs show how the houses today, but are also portraits of today\u2019s inhabitants, from the bodybuilder selling vitamin supplements in Barranquila, Colombia to the elderly lady in \u00c5rhus, Denmark who demonstrates the hair drier she has used in the same home for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In New Standards<\/a><\/em>, Westerlund\u2019s images accompany archival material related to Puutalo Oy \u2013 imcluding drawings, photographs and advertisements \u2013 that illustrate the ambitions of the post-war period, reveal new design innovations and illustrates how different building types were modified for different climates and cultural contexts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
