Matti K. Mäkinen

Malcolm Quantrill

"Two architects, a Finn and an Englishman, come together...intent on confronting the present condition of architecture. -- Matti K. Mäkinen worked to invent the form of these exchanges, translating them into a vigorous structure of debate that springs adroitly from foundations of mere casuistry to the high vaults of speculation. -- Malcolm Quantrill draws on the propensity of the "Troubadour Style" in his transactions with architectural theory, successfully reconstructing the connection between architectural representations and cultural experiences, tastes and mentalities..." Marco Frascari "Without an appetite for a tale, a song, a poem, we cannot recognize the cadence and rhythms of our existence in time and space. We need the capacity, the cultivated sensitivity to inwardize the prosody of those narratives. Without such inwardizing we cannot tell our own stories, and this means that we cannot take part in the continuing poetic of literature and architecture." Malcolm Quantrill
