The summer exhibition at the Museum of Finnish Architecture displays a number of future classics – a selection of works by Finnish architects from 2008 and 2009. While the works represent different approaches and various architectural languages, they share a carefully considered relation to context in terms of culture, time and place. Included are buildings for living, office work, day care, education, culture and production, and urban schemes. After the presentation in Helsinki the exhibition tours internationally.The exhibition is accompanied by a book published in English, Finnish Architeture 0809, which in addition to project presentations includes writings from experts and persons interested in architecture as well as catalogues of events. The writers are Heikki Aitoaho, Selina Anttinen and Johan Celsing (selectors of the works displayed), Peter MacKeith (architect, USA), Matti Kalliokoski (editor of the Ilkka newspaper) Tomi Kontio (poet and writer). For sale at the museum bookshop starting from 8 June for EUR 25.The biennial surveys of Finnish architecture were started in 2004, the current survey being the fourth. This time the jury consisted of architects Selina Anttinen (chair), Heikki Aitoaho and Johan Celsing (Sweden), with Tapio Aho, M.Sc. Tech., as counselling advisor.
