This monograph from the Museum of Finnish Architecture offers a comprehensive exploration of the life and work of Lars Eliel Sonck, one of Finland’s most influential architects of the early 20th century. Sonck’s designs, which drew inspiration from National Romantic and Art Nouveau styles, played a pivotal role in shaping the architectural identity of Helsinki and other Finnish cities during a period of national awakening and cultural renaissance. This copy, with its dust jacket and well-preserved interior, provides a window into Sonck’s oeuvre, including his iconic works such as the Kallio Church and the Töölö Church in Helsinki. Beyond showcasing his architectural achievements, the book delves into Sonck’s role as a pioneer of the Finnish Art Nouveau movement and his impact on the development of a distinctly Finnish architectural style. With its rich historical context and detailed analysis of Sonck’s buildings, this volume is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of Finnish architecture and cultural history.
