A Finnish speciality — the open and anonymous architectural competition — is celebrating its 150th anniversary. Welcome to discover the winning designs that transformed Helsinki’s cityscape!
This audio tour follows the ideas, arguments and ambitions behind some of Helsinki’s most recognisable buildings. Each stop reveals how an architectural competition became more than a design process: a stage for innovation, public debate, political ideals and urban imagination. Together, these buildings tell a story of how Helsinki was drawn, contested — and finally built.
