Alusta Pavilion
Alusta pavilion, built on the courtyard of the Museum of Finnish Architecture and the Design museum, explores nature-culture relations and offers a place for encounters between humans and non-human animals in urban space. The pavilion functions as a platform for environmental discourse, both on the level of its form and materiality, and the different activities which take place there.

Alusta is realized by a multidisciplinary group lead by Suomi/Koivisto Architects.
