Juhani Pallasmaa practised at a period when the terms of architecture itself were under argument.
The record lists Juhani Pallasmaa as Finnish architect (born 1936).
Juhani Pallasmaa was born at Hämeenlinna in 1936. His recorded nationality is Finland. He trained at Helsinki University of Technology.
Post-war architecture built at state scale: housing, new towns and civic megastructures, with results that are still being judged.
He is recorded as architect and teacher.
Buildings outlast their architects and usually their purposes, which is what makes the discipline unforgiving.
Recognition followed: Commander of the Order of the White Rose of Finland and Knight First Class of the Order of the White Rose of Finland.
That the work was built in Finland shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
