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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Places of leisureliness “Baden-Baden” is the opposite of efficiency. It transports the mind into relaxation, and that is exactly what is needed for recuperation. Presence and caring. A physician who has the patience to listen and a patient who can relate are needed in a hospital. Baden-Badens in which you can linger for a moment, […]
The temporary protective walls have been dismantled and the dusts wiped from the glimmering floor of the floor of the renovated entrance hall of the Kuopio University Hospital. The sculptural stairs are waiting for those wanting to exercise. The large windows of the cafeteria give onto an atmospheric garden to be renovated. The cafeteria’s monolithic […]
Helsinki has the Stockmann clock and Kuopio the stairway of the University Hospital. New times give way to newer ones as the escalator under prohibition of use disappears, being replaced by a sculptural stairway. The planning, demolition and construction each require hundreds of working hours. That stairway of the Kuopio University Hospital has surely brought […]
The sampling spaces of the Kuopio University Hospital were opened at the turn of the year. The curved red veneer walls invite into the homely ward rooms. The waiting spaces still await the completion of the furniture that had its inspiration in the form of the nucleus. The vein-like curved glass walls still lead the […]
The cornerstone was laid under the coming new building of the Kuopio University Hospital. In the presence of eminent witnesses, the day’s coins and newspaper, the façades of the future construction, including the drafts of the “Evolution” artwork, and the groundwork that also relates Partanen & Lamusuo Ldt’s part in the planning of the future […]
Some ten years ago our daughter was admitted to the Kuopio University Hospital. Morning and evening my architect husband Heikki Lamusuo and I walked through the lobby of the hospital and had both unknowingly pondered the malformation of the space. What should be done to make it more welcoming? The escalator should be removed, the […]
Physicians are a privileged lot. Many of them enjoy man’s inner beauty daily. Some cut it with a surgeon’s sharp knife, others look at the spatial forms of cells through a microscope. Award-winning surgeon Juhani Kouri of the Kuopio University Hospital is at present doubly the enjoyer of man’s inner beauty. A model piece of […]

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.
