Wilson Meets Wirkkala (ed. Tuula Isohanni; Aalto Books 2012) tells the story of creation of the Tapio Wirkkala art park, designed by Robert Wilson, in Arabianranta, Helsinki.
This book tells the story of Tapio Wirkkala Park. Robert Wilson’s first visit to Arabianranta acted like the conductor’s first downbeat in the process of creating the park. The chapter titles, derived from the world of music and opera, introduce readers to the place, the makers, the planning process, the working methods, and, ultimately, the park’s artistic elements.
