Together with Finnish Design Info, we have published a printed map featuring 125 architectural and design destinations from different periods. The expanded third edition of the popular map also highlights the Aalto Works UNESCO World Heritage sites located in Helsinki. The map is available at the Architecture & Design Museum, tourist information points, and selected hotels, shops, and galleries across the city.

Archinfo is in charge of the Pavilion of Finland at the Venice Architecture Biennale

The curator of the Pavilion of Finland's exhibition at the upcoming Biennale Architettura 2027 is architect and curator Kaisa Karvinen.

In 2025, architects Ella Kaira and Matti Jänkälä curated the exhibition The Pavilion – Architecture of Stewardship. The exhibition explored the care and maintenance of modern architecture from a new perspective by focusing on the people who have contributed in the preserving and maintenance of the Alvar Aalto-designed pavilion building.

In 2023, the Pavilion of Finland presented curator Arja Renell's and The Dry Collective's exhibition Huussi – Imagining the future history of sanitation. The exhibition attracted unprecedented media attention by raising questions and providing solutions in a humorous way to serious concerns about the lack of clean water and the recycling of nutrients.

In 2021, New Standards, curated by Laura Berger, Philip Tidwell and Kristo Vesikansa, unveiled the intriguing story of Puutalo Oy [Timber House Ltd.] from a joint endeavour to house war refugees in the 1940s to a success story of global export.

In 2018, Dr. Anni Vartola curated the exhibition Mind-Building to celebrate the long history of the Finnish public library institution, and library architecture as a frame for democratic education.

Archinfo is the New European Bauhaus contact point in Finland

The New European Bauhaus initiative connects the European Green Deal to our daily lives and living spaces. It calls on all Europeans to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls.

As Finland's national contact point for the New European Bauhaus initiative, Archinfo participates in an informal EU-wide network coordinated by the European Commission for exchange of experience. The most important mission for the contact point is to spread information nationally about e.g. funding possibilities and New European Bauhaus Festival and Prizes. The Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment take part in coordinating the initiative.

We are Archinfo!

We are specialists in the field of architecture. Our team’s expertise covers architecture, architectural communication, and event production, as well as architectural, art, and cultural policy. We hope to hear from you!

Get to know us

At Archinfo, we focus on three key objectives: to increase general appreciation for architecture in Finland, raise the profile of Finnish architecture internationally, and reinforce the societal importance of architecture.

Our sphere of operations

In architecture

Increasing general appreciation for architecture in Finland

We increase appreciation of architecture and cultural heritage in Finland. We produce content and events that underpin discussions about the built environment for citizens who are interested in their local environment and a sustainable future. We communicate topical, reliable, and broadly accessible information; we make Finnish architecture more approachable. A key method for the above is the Finnish Architecture Navigator online service. We offer expert communication services for our partners and prepared topics for the media. We participate in architecture and design education networks and project partnerships.

Internationally

Raising the profile of Finnish architecture internationally

We promote the global recognition and visibility of Finnish architecture. We increase the presence of Finnish architecture and architectural operators in international projects and events, other industry forums, and the media. One key tool for the above is the International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. We organise high-profile projects, network actively, and act as a permanent cooperation body for international relations. We wish to reach foreign architecture professionals, key stakeholders and mainstream media, and select specialist and trade media.

In social advocacy

Reinforcing the societal importance of architecture

We reinforce the status and importance of architecture in society. We actively take the initiative and start discussions to expand the understanding of culturally, politically, and economically influential people about the cultural and social importance of architecture. We participate in the execution and monitoring of Finland’s architectural policy programme and engage in lobbying. We offer a platform for municipal representatives working on architectural policy programmes to exchange information and network, and we communicate information about these programmes. We also actively participate in international programmes, projects, and networks aimed at promoting the social importance of architecture.

We are here to make Finnish architecture visible and known.
