Influential Art
2021-2022 | Helsinki
In four institutions offering basic education in architectural arts, various approaches were taken to influence the surrounding environment through art.
In Jyväskylä, architectural elements were designed for a greenbelt surrounding the city center. In Kuopio, wall paintings were created for an underpass, while in Pielavesi, public artworks were used to enhance the environment.
In Valkeakoski, a design competition was held for students to come up with ideas for a public art piece to be placed at a roundabout. In Helsinki, at the Children’s and Youth Architecture School Arkki, students explored the phenomenon of street art and created a new look for a mundane electrical box in collaboration with a street artist.
