Jan-Erik Andersson: The demolition of the "Blue House" (Sininen talo) Art Nouveau building

[kellygavin2]

pull the fucking thing down and stop being a nancy boy

@kellygavin2

They can't really do that because 1: those machines are pretty hard to control and 2: they need to bring the building down so all the peices are small enough and so it is safe to walk around the site and that none of the debree gets on roads.

[DeArmadas]

What are they building there, condos, a mall?

City councilors and mayors would sell their mothers for a dollar and a vote.

Älkää syyttäkö työmiestä vaan päättäjiä. Kuntavaalitkin tulossa, niin miettikääpä mitä teette.

Volvo makes a good wrecking machine

[demomanwreckit]

Those guys are good. They show no mercy on the old house. Just the way a wrecking crew should operate, after all they are there to wreck it, not to save it. Nice job, men.

[rotteni]

@demomanwreckit thnx, i can tell you that we found pretty intersting stuff from there

[esepologaga]

hijos de puta mira que derriban esa preciosa casa...

Kaivinkoneen kuljettaja on selvästikin viimeisen päälle ammattimies, häntä älkäämme syyttäkö, työtään mies teki ja mielestäni aika kauniinkin hienovaraisesti. Siitä pienet propsit hänelle. Perinnerakentamisen ystävänä, löi kyllä kyyneleet silmään isommallekin miehelle. Syitä en kysele, mutta taas on jotain kaunista poissa.

HAIL HAIL TO THE EUROPIAN CULTURE CAPITAL OF 2011!!!!

[eemaju]

jösses... meni loputkin sympatiat turkulaisia kohtaan...

[rauraeev]

Sivistymätöntä touhua, ja senhän Suomen Turku osaa!

[WellPosed]

Vanity of vanities and vanity as culture...

Of course private interests are concerned with profit. The city council should be able to use both carrots and sticks to save buildings like this. Unfortunately there is a big overlap of monetary and political power in Turku...

[VKasuV]

Turku on Suomen persereikä.

[Onraj13]

En tykkää!

[JaspaJami]

Why??

[mariagoltsman]

it hearts so much!

[tsutomusiikki]

Miksi meillä kaikki kaunis tahtoo kuolla ja suuri surkastua alhaiseen?

[EduHelsinki]

Quite a quick work isn't? How about now to also implode the Tuomio Kirkko as next? Imagine how many makkara kioskis we could put in there instead of these old stuff all around such a historical city? Really incredible. Anyway, while looking at it I could see all that beautiful, good quality and genuine Finnish Sisu on that wonderful Wikeström & Krogius building: it was like fighting back and bravely holding strong against the power of that demolition machine. I'm shocked and sad to see it.

Bloody barbarians, I hate you!

Fuck Åbo. What a shit hole.

[Segis84]

@jannestrang Hårda ord, hårda ord...

[hmitch]

@jannestrang yep, i don't regret movin away yet

The Green party opposed of the destruction of this building. If the Left wing party would have opposed it as well, it would have been saved. However, land use planning is the most important tool to save these kind of buildings. PLEASE make every effort to save the buildings while making decisions in land use planning since it is the only way to save the buildings for good.
