"Eight years of architecture, eight days a week" said architect Reijo Niskasaari of his career, which played an important role in the genesis of the unique phenomenon in the Finnish architecture, the so called Oulu School. This book tells with texts and pictures of this phenomenon which has aroused also international interest. Many of the architects were students of professor Reima Pietilä, who wrote Anna-Maija Ylimaula after reading the manuscript of this book:
"This book is a challenge published in the form of a nonmanifest. An own, arctic sphere is defined in it; is it still looking for it's own expression? The unexamined edge of the modern architecture crystallizes into pack ice. - The international architect community finally has to recognize the existence of this sphere, which has an expression of it's own!
