April 19: Katajanokka Jugend 1

The real meat of the walkabout commenced once I was back on Katajanokka; I walked every Jugend street there.

7264

At the head of the neighborhood, on the Uspenski side, are a couple of buildings that I find iconic, perhaps due to their location; e.g. this one, named Aeolus, designed by Selim Lindqvist.

7268

The view up Luotsikatu (Pilot St).

7269

This is Tallberg, designed by Gesellius-Lindgren-Saarinen, which faces Aeolus across Luotsikatu.

7273

The Luotsikatu face of Aeolus.

7277

Composition in Sun and Shade, 2009.

7279

This means "Key Gallery," and its logo is pretty neat.

7282

Further up Luotsikatu.

7286

Nested arches.

7294

The name of this building is Eol; it was also designed by Gesellius-Lindgren-Saarinen. That balcony is impressively beefy.

7309

One of the metallic-tower buildings from before, I think, with a peeking streetlight.

7311

Long sun.

7314

A sporty number I happened upon on Laivastokatu (Fleet Street) along the north shore.

7316

Little bumpout park on the north shore that I'd walked by plenty of times but rarely seen from above like this.

7318

I think this one must be named Katajaniemi ("Cape Juniper," essentially a synonym for Katajanokka).

7323

Quite a composition of curves here.

7324

The sharpest edge of the Wellamo tower with some last sun.

7326

The back side of Wellamo, giving a better idea of the shape of the tower.

7329

A mysterious portal along the lower part of Laivastokatu. The entrance to the Wellamo restaurant is just behind the left-hand piece of the portal.

7332

Foundational rock at the south edge of Wellamo. I'm still really curious about that white line.

7337

This is, I think, the inland street face of Wellamo, along Vyökatu (Belt St).

7346

A more rectilinear bit of Jugend, still quite fetching.

7350

Elf windows.

7352

Tiles are an infrequently used material on the Jugend buildings, but are generally a welcome addition.

7356

Tiles detail: a pleasant mix of matte and glossy surfaces.

7358

Oddly tusk-like, yes?

7359

Vertical articulation, horizontal sun.
