Summary:
Olavi Laiho (1907-1944) was a writer, political organiser, and communist agitator, who was first imprisoned in 1932—a time when "communist laws" were in effect in Finland—for producing political material and running an illegal printing press in his home. He opposed Finland's WW2 era fighting alongside Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union, edited illegal journals, but also planned armed resistance and facilitated correspondence between the party's leadership in Helsinki and the Soviet embassy in Stockholm. Just a couple of weeks before his execution, Laiho wrote a remarkable essay "Katso Koota" [Look at K], using only words starting with the letter K. "Katso Koota" is an early example of Finnish modern alliterative writing, a lipogram, a literary technique in which every word must start with the same letter. Laiho's "Katso Koota" predates the French Oulipo ("workshop of potential literature") of the 1960s. Considering that he produced his "constrained writing" under conditions of extreme political and cultural confinement, it can be considered a true form of avant-garde subversion.

Summary:
Featuring a representative and graphically striking sample of the incredible range of letters, names, words and proverbs to be found on Amsterdam buildings, Typography and Architecture: Amsterdam in Letters is a compilation of more than 200 photographs taken by Dutch photographer Maarten Helle. By particularly focusing on typography that was specifically designed or commissioned by the architect of a building, Helle isolates an often forgotten aspect of architecture and of our urban landscape, as these elements are often visually subsumed by the louder yet more ephemeral typographic elements found on billboards, posters and graffiti. Helle's letters endure as architectural traces--often remaining when a building is repurposed--that represent an alternative history of the city. Born in Amsterdam in 1959, Maarten Helle began taking photographs of architecture, typography and Amsterdam in 1993.
