Architects Ella Kaira and Matti Jänkälä will curate the exhibition of the Pavilion of Finland at the Biennale Architettura 2025 in Venice. The curatorial concept, selected through an open call, explores the care and maintenance of modern architecture from a new perspective. The 19th International Architecture Exhibition will open to the public on 24 May 2025 and will remain open until 23 November.

In 2023, the Pavilion of Finland presented The Dry Collective's exhibition Huussi – Imagining the future history of sanitation. The exhibition, which attracted a record-breaking amount of media attention, continues to tour: the huussi installation that was the centrepiece of the exhibition has found a new home on the island of Le Vignole and the video pieces are on display at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerb in Hamburg.

New Standards, the exhibition on the story of Puutalo Oy that premiered at the 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale, is now on display at the Perspektivet Museum in Tromsø.

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.
