Two housing projects were awarded with the “Construction Rose” by the Helsinki Local Housing Committee on 22 January 2013.
The winners were the Kaisa House (Helsinki University main library) and the World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 Pavilion.
The two buildings have at the same time both activated and integrated the cityscape. The projects have successfully created open, easy accessible and architecturally interesting surroundings for town-dwellers.
Architecture students at Aalto University Department of Architecture, Wood Studio, together with a group of experts built the Pavilion. The Pavilion design originates from a winning entry in an architectural competition won by architecture student Pyry-Pekka Kantonen.
