In the 18th century, Hernesaari in Helsinki was a realm of livestock and fishermen. In the 20th century, the existing piers as well as residential and outbuildings were demolished to make way for the harbor, and Hernesaari, Hernesaarenkari, and Munkkisaari were connected to the mainland via land reclamation. During Prohibition, the peninsula was a thriving hub for the liquor trade. The Munkkisaari mill was completed in 1937, and the state grain warehouse and silos designed by Aili and Niilo Pulkka were built around 1955. Their future is uncertain. At their present state, the walls are unlikely to survive.

CONCRETE DECAY – the antidote to beauty clichés

The Science Term Bank defines beauty as an aesthetic quality that is generally considered a type of aesthetic value. According to the philosopher Plato, beauty is a true reality that can be understood by reason, but whose imperfect reflections can also be perceived by the senses. Aristotle, on the other hand, defended the principle of purposefulness. The opposite of these views is that beauty is a purely subjective value, i.e., beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. Decadent romanticism, the beauty of ugliness, is an ideological movement that emerged in the late 18th century. According to it, an object can be perceived as beautiful simply because looking at it gives pleasure.
