Winner of Finlandia Prize for Architecture 2020 to Be Chosen by Musician Paula Vesala PRESS RELEASE 2.9.2020 Winner of Finlandia Prize for Architecture 2020 to be chosen by musician Paula Vesala The candidates shortlisted for the 2020 Finlandia Prize for Architecture are K-Kampus office building, Helsinki; Toritalo residential building, Kotka; Olympic Stadium refurbishment, Helsinki; and Aalto University's new campus building, Otaniemi. The winner of the coveted Finlandia Prize for Architecture will this year be chosen by Finnish musician and actress Paula Vesala. This is the seventh time the award will be presented by the Finnish Association of Architects (SAFA). The winner will be announced on 5 October 2020. The recipient of the Finlandia Prize for Architecture is chosen each year by an influential public fiGure who is a recoGnised expert in an area other than architecture. Paula Vesala’s music is characterised by its distinctive blend of artistic ambition and popular appeal. A versatile and multifaceted artist, Vesala’s work was recognised with the Juha Vainio Award in 2016. Three years later, she became the first woman to be presented with the Reino Helismaa sonG lyric award. She is also the only woman to have been nominated for both an Emma music award and a Jussi film industry award. Nominees reflect timeless values of architecture The choice of Finlandia Prize for Architecture nominees has this year been made aGainst the backdrop of the Global coronavirus outbreak. Due to the current visitinG restrictions, schools, day care centres and other care settinGs as well as projects outside of Finland have been precluded from consideration but are expected to be eligible for inclusion next year. “This year’s shortlisted candidates represent the timeless values of architecture in a way that is fresh and relevant; well lit, thouGhtfully designed and capable of meetinG the needs of both people and place,” commented Tuomo Siitonen, Chairman of the Pre-selection Jury. He was joined on the pre-selection jury by architects Simo Freese and Teemu Hirvilammi along with Saija Hollmén, architect and Professor of Practice in Humanitarian Architecture at Aalto University. The secretariat was provided by Paula Huotelin, Secretary General of the Finnish Association of Architects (SAFA). K-Kampus office building K-Kampus by JKMM Architects from 2019 is the new head office for Finnish retail Giant Kesko in Helsinki’s Kalasatama district. The building reflects the latest developments in workplace design: building users can flexibly choose their own desk each day from a range of workstations situated at the front of the building. The generously appointed entrance and social areas, complete with cafés and restaurants, create a cleverly desiGned, three dimensional space that visually defines the foyer. The colour scheme and materials choices are characterised by their restraint and have been chosen to maximise liGht. The buildinG’s Geometric forms have been paired with warm and natural materials, creatinG an aesthetic that seamlessly spans everythinG from the smallest details to the buildinG’s entire exterior. Architectural methods are employed to communicate positive messages about the company’s values to staff and visitors alike. K-Kampus office building.

Thanks to its stylish and confident presence, the new residential development settles harmoniously amonG the surroundinG buildinGs, which represent a ranGe of stylistic periods. The foyer excels at connectinG the historic courtyard at the rear with the cobbled market at the front. The excellent workinG relationship between client and architect has resulted in sensitive and skilful decision makinG. Their chosen solutions add a new layer to the history of this area and serve to both maintain and enhance the sense of cohesion that characterises the blend of urban stone and wood architecture already present here. Toritalo has been built usinG ordinary materials, but the accomplished desiGn and the commitment to honourinG the area’s local heritaGe elevate this development beyond its modest scale.

The buildinG has been used for a variety of purposes over the years and experienced many rounds of renovation prior to this latest project. Alongside the project’s technical, financial and functional aspects, the team responsible for the refurbishment also undertook a careful theoretical analysis of the wider conservation context, the benefits of which are clearly reflected in the outcome. Despite the scale of the alterations required, the Olympic Stadium has retained its distinctive clean lines and architectural identity that has evolved over the decades. The new streamlined roof structure is a particular highlight. The architects’ achievement has been to accommodate even the most challenging requirements set out in the design brief in a sympathetic manner. The team, comprisinG architects from Arkkitehtitoimisto K2S and Arkkitehdit NRT, have demonstrated a clear understanding of the big picture while never losing sight of the smallest details. Although the extension exceeds the original structure in scale, it also succeeds in complementinG the stadium as a whole without undermining its majestic presence as part of the capital’s urban fabric.

The development is based on a winninG desiGn from 2013 by Verstas Architects. With a spatial composition characterised by its rich materiality and a form that is articulated as a series of “buildinGs within buildinGs”, this large structure settles effortlessly into its wider context. Internally, the diverse spaces located at the intersections between the buildinG masses facilitate social and other encounters and lend themselves to a range of multi- disciplinary uses. The distinct identities that set apart the university’s different schools are also apparent in the interiors and the materials employed here; the materials and Geometries found at the School of Business accurately reflect the occupant’s wider brand image, while at Väre, the school’s enduring commitment to excellence in craftsmanship is apparent in the basement and ground floor workshops, their Glass walls offerinG unimpeded views of the passageways that cut across the building. Aalto University's new campus building. Photo: Andreas Meichsner The Finlandia Prize for Architecture is awarded for the design or renovation design of an outstanding new building or building complex that has been completed within the past three years. The prize may be awarded either to a Finnish or foreign architect, or to an architectural firm for a project designed for a location in Finland; or to a Finnish architect or architectural firm for a project designed for a location abroad. The recipient of the Finlandia Prize for Architecture is chosen by a public figure who is a recognised expert in an area other than architecture. The winner is selected from a shortlist of projects chosen by the Pre- Selection Jury. The purpose of the prize is to promote the appreciation of high-quality architecture and to highlight the importance of architecture in generating cultural value and increasing well-being.

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards 4: e59119. https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.4.59119 Abstract Many natural history museums share a common problem: a multitude of legacy collection management systems (CMS) and the difficulty of finding a new system to replace them. Kotka is a CMS developed starting in 2011 at the Finnish Museum of Natural History (Luomus) and Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility (FinBIF) (Heikkinen et al. 2019, Schulman et al. 2019) to solve this problem. It has grown into a national system used by all natural history museums in Finland, and currently contains over two million specimens from several domains (zoological, botanical, paleontological, microbial, tissue sample and botanic garden collections). Kotka is a web application where data can be entered, edited, searched and exported through a browser-based user interface. It supports designing and printing specimen labels, handling collection metadata and specimen transactions, and helps support Nagoya protocol compliance. Creating a shared system for multiple institutions and collection types is difficult due to differences in their current processes, data formats, future needs and opinions.
