New Standards presents the story of Puutalo Oy (Timber Houses Ltd.), an industrial enterprise established in Finland in 1940 to help rehouse some 420 000 refugees, most of them displaced from Karelia due to the Winter War.
During this national crisis, architects and industrialists came together to create a new model of factory-built housing. In less than a decade, Puutalo modernised Finland’s construction industry and became one of the largest manufacturers of prefabricated wooden buildings in the world.
The story of Puutalo illustrates the ways in which architecture connected with political, industrial, and economic forces during a period of intense global exchange and development. By the mid-1950s, the company had shipped buildings to more than 30 countries on all the continents. The houses were developed by some of Finland’s leading mid-century architects, and their archetypal exterior appearance belies the innovation that went into their structural design, spatial arrangement, and domestic utility.
Today, thousands of these modest model houses – possibly Finland’s most widespread architectural export – can be seen around the world. New Standards includes archival material such as drawings, photographs and advertisements that illustrate the ambitions of the post-war period, reveal new design innovations and illustrates how different building types were modified for different climates and cultural contexts.
The exhibition includes contemporary photographs of Puutalo houses in Finland, Denmark and Colombia, commissioned from acclaimed photographer Juuso Westerlund to show how these houses are inhabited today, and how they have been personalized over decades of use.
