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.
