Kari Jormakka (Hg.) ° CITY+CINEMA. Essays on the Specificity of Location in Film
The essays in Datutop 29 offer a contribution to the discours concerning the city and cinema within the genre of the “city film”. Instead of postulating the generic city as the terminal condition of contemporary urbanism, it is argued that each place has its own uniqueness, its own history, and its own unique physical structure, pace popular glosses on greater homogeneity within ever-expanding globalization, or visions of cyber technologies bringing about the dissolution of space and the dematerialisation of the city.

Kari Jormakka ° absolute motion
Inspired by the philosophy of Henri Bergson, the futurist artist Umberto Boccioni proposed a double concept of motion, consisting of relative motion, or form in movement, and absolute motion, or movement in form. The present publication extends this Bergsonian inquiry into the field of architectural design, relating it to the ideas of Gilles Deleuze and to recent developments in the natural sciences.

Kari Jormakka ° The Art of the City. From Camillo Sitte to Today.
A Romantic troubadour resisting the inevitable onslaught of modernism and a backwardlooking prophet of New Urbanism – or rather a proponent of modern visuality, a harbinger of the touristic gaze and Las Vegas, a precursor of Rem Koolhaas? Camillo Sitte has been portrayed in many ways ever since his book on urban design, Der Städtebau nach seinen künstlerischen Grundsätzen, became an international bestseller upon its publication in 1889. The present volume comprises eleven new essays examining Sitte’s vision, the origins of his thought, his influence from the 1890s to the present day, and his continuing relevance in the contemporary discourse on the city. Written by an international group of architectural theorists and historians, the collection calls for a reconsideration of Camillo Sitte’s legacy.

Jorma Mänty ° On the Principles of Architecture
Architecture is not anything physically existing. It is a word with various connotations. Thus, architecture is well suited for discursive reasoning. Defined most generally, architecture involves physical artefacts, and principles as means for giving meaningful forms to the artefacts. Artefacts exist only in physical forms.

Gareth Griffiths ° The Polemical Aalto
The Enso-Gutzeit Headquarters in Helsinki is considered one of Alvar Aalto’s most controversial works. It is also considered a minor work, falling outside the general understanding and appreciation of Aalto’s architecture. Many of the themes found in Aalto’s most respected works are also found here, but they have not crystalised into a meaningful form. Rather than making us look at the world with different eyes, the building seems to be something all too familiar; a standard commercial office building, albeit one with aesthetic pretensions …
