Land(e)scape

Land(e)scape (1999), an architectural installation by Finnish architects Casagrande & Rintala in a former field in Savonlinna. The work is commenting on the desertion process of the Finnish countryside.

Three of these abandoned barns ‘were driven,’ the architects explained, ‘to the point where they have had to break their primeval union with the soil. Desolate, they have risen on their shanks and are swaying towards the cities of the south.’ [ [http://www.arplus.com/archive/Dec99/casagrande/casagrande.html] - "The Architectural Review: A dramatic architectural installation designed to draw attention to the plight of the Finnish countryside., 12/1999" ]
