University of the Arts Helsinki, designed by JKMM Architects / Asmo Jaaksi

 

The University of the Arts Helsinki, designed by JKMM Architects and documented by Asmo Jaaksi, reflects a contemporary approach to educational spaces through the careful integration of historic and modern architectural elements. The project repurposes existing industrial structures while introducing new interventions that enhance spatial functionality and aesthetic coherence. The use of raw concrete, warm wood, and expansive glass surfaces establishes a dialogue between materiality and natural light, fostering an environment conducive to artistic exploration. The spatial organization prioritizes adaptability, supporting diverse creative disciplines within a cohesive architectural framework.
