Tango Mäntyniemi: The Architecture of the Official Residence of the President of Finland presents a focused architectural portrait of Mäntyniemi, exploring how the building’s design embodies Finnish values of democracy, modesty, and closeness to nature. The book examines the collaboration between architects, landscape, and symbolism, showing how modernist forms, natural materials, and carefully framed views create a residence that is both representative and restrained. Rather than emphasizing monumentality, Mäntyniemi is portrayed as an “everyday” seat of power, where transparency, functionality, and integration with the surrounding forested site express a distinctly Finnish approach to political authority, national identity, and contemporary architecture.
