Creating the Future

Arkki, the School of Architecture for Children and Youth, is celebrating its 20th anniversary with an exhibition on architectural education. The exhibition at Laituri is open free of charge for everyone interested.

Till the end of May several different projects that the kids at Arkki have worked on are on display ranging from drawings to scale models. Works from all age groups (4 -19) are displayed.

Take a look yourself!

What could the new Guggenheim look like?

As you might have heard the Guggenheim foundation wants to open a new museum in Helsinki. At the moment there is still a lot of discussion about the plan since the project would get quite pricy for the city of Helsinki. It might still take a while till a decision about the new museum is made.

The Arkki School of Architecture for Children and Youth didn’t want to wait that long. With their students aged 4 to 19 they started thinking about how the new museum at Helsinki’s South Harbor could look like. And the kids came up with really cool ideas. Using all kinds of different materials they proved their creativity.

The results of their work can be seen at Laituri till April 28^th. The entrance is free.
