Dear Aulis,

"Mathematical structure is an unconditional feature

of my work. Mathematics is meant to explain things:

it is easier to understand an environment with a 

mathematical character." (Aarno Ruusuvuori)

Sincerely,

Querido Miguel Angel,

“Solo lo que puede aplicarse de un modo 

general tiene valor permanente. Sobresale

por encima de las limitaciones locales y

cronológicas. Puede soportar la criba 

rigurosa e imparcial de la humanidad y

formar parte de la permanente herencia 

cultural del hombre.”

(Aarno Ruusuvuori)

Un abrazo,

R

Dear Timo,

"Only that that can be applied in a general way has permanent value. It protrudes above local and chronological constraints, it withstands after rigorous 

and impartial criticisms, and eventually it becomes

part of mankind cultural heritage"
(Aarno Ruusuvuori)

Kind regards,

characteristics of Finnish Architecture of the 1960s.
