Exit School of Architecture publication, 2017 — Nordic noir and melancholy
Exit School of Architecture Exhibition at the 13th Tallinn Design Festival
The Exit School of Architecture exhibition was presented at the 13th Tallinn Design Festival from September 10–16, 2018, at the Balti Jaam pavilion (Toompuiestee 37) in Tallinn, Estonia.
The project explores shared local identities and meanings in contemporary Finnish architecture, examining participatory design methods to reveal how aspects of local culture and aesthetics are embedded in both the design process and the final works. The exhibition highlighted 14 recently completed projects and 6 diploma works that move beyond standardized building approaches, offering meaningful, individualized solutions to design challenges in urban and landscape contexts while retaining aesthetic values of solitude, simplicity, and closeness to nature in materials and spatial expression.
