The decision process that took years has now reached its conclusion: the Evolution artwork will be built onto the façade of building 2 of the Kuopio University Hospital in all its glory. The work will be about 1600 m² in surface area. It will work as a sunscreen and thus also as an energy saver. […]
The Orthodox Church Museum of Finland is located in a building designed by architect Dag Englund and constructed in 1969 in Kuopio. The Church Museum has been undergoing changes ever since the basic exhibition closed down in the autumn of 2009. The basic exhibition served the museum’s visitors for 40 years, but time ineluctably passed […]
How to recognise that a person is alive? From the heartbeat. In hospitals – and at least in all movies – the vitality of a person is demonstrated precisely by a device plotting the electrocardiogram. How do we recognise the vitality of a building? At least for the Kuopio University Hospital, we know that numerous […]
The University of Central Lancashire invited us to lecture on architecture and art. As a sideshow, we held a workshop based on our planning methods: working in pairs, no computer, imagining in a pleasant place… Snappy introductions of two minutes fascinated us with solutions each more creative than the other. During three hours, some twenty Day Spas […]
Pop-up art pops up somewhere, is there for a while, and then goes away. Its purpose is to be temporary, arouse interest and questions and stir people in the middle of everyday routine. One need not become fond of pop-up art; its mission is elsewhere. A permanent artwork, in turn, stays put, even if its […]
The city of Kuopio has several important twin cities around the world. A few years ago Jaana and I presented to a large delegation of Shanghai’s Pudong visiting Kuopio the exhibition we had realised in the Finnish pavilion of the Shanghai world fair in 2010. The exhibition received as many as 5.7 million visitors. In […]
Dance pursuits involve glittering sequins, a touch of glamour and a bit of old tradition. Surely, they also involve good music and pleasant togetherness. If already the training environment includes and makes possible one of those things, everything is almost perfect. PalatsiStudiot, of Suomen Tanssistudiot Oy, in downtown Kuopio is near that perfection for dance enthusiasts. […]
It is now exactly five years since we started drafting a proposal for the architectural invitation competition of the Kuopio University Hospital (KUH) main entrance hall and sampling spaces. Jaana and I took the challenge very personally and with dedication. With our team, we thought up the hospital of the future, a “sanatorium” that promotes […]

This assistance makes possible an experiential and informative exhibition set utilizing modern technology. The presentation of the unique collections in the possession of the Church Museum foundation, an ample placement and […]
A well planned and implemented, quality hospital environment supports and improves our health and well-being. Scientific studies have shown that well planned and implemented space solutions, surface materials, acoustics, ventilation, lighting, temperature conditions and views of nature, in particular, have a great positive significance to the users of the spaces. The planning of welfare service […]

Arjen alkemiaa -trilogia (Tuhkimo, Ruusunen ja Oikea Prinsessa) nähtiin kokonaisuudessaan Suomen Valokuvataiteen museossa 2007. Mielen alkemiaa -trilogia (Harry Potter, Matrix ja Avatar layer) on työnalla ja osittain kiertää jo maailmalla. Avaruuden alkemiaa -trilogia tulee päättämään alkemiaa -aiheisten näyttelykokonaisuuksien sarjan. Entisaikojen alkemistit pyrkivät muuttamaan arvottoman arvokkaaksi. Alkemiaa -trilogia pyrkii samaan tässä ajassa, niin arjen, mielen kuin ideologioiden tasolla.
