Turku Museum of History Heidi Jokinen Studio 12 Supervisor: Per Fransson Program The program is divided into a two-floor-building. The entrances of the museum are on the 1st floor. The Exhibitions begin from the entrance floor with the Major International Exhibition space which is for changing exhibitions. The exhibition is in the 1930’s warehouse building, it is an open space lined with columns which makes it easy to be transformed for different kinds of exhibitions. The Main Exhibition space for the history of Turku and Finland is on two levels on the 2nd floor. The exhibition is entered through the 1st floor Major Exhibition with a staircase leading up to the 2nd floor. The space is open with just a couple of dividing walls and columns making it flexible for changes in exhibition. For instance, the Virtual Reality Experience rooms are set between the columns on the second floor for a different kind of museum experience – Turku Goes 1812 where the visitor can experience parts of the city as it was 15 years prior to the Great fire of Turku. The Museum also houses a Museum shop, a Restaurant with seating for 150 people, and an Auditorium with 180 seats on the 1st floor. Existing Buildings The existing buildings on site are used as part of the exhibition spaces as well as a part of the restaurant dining area, museum storage area and as rentable collaboration spaces for the museum and the local businesses. Landscape The site should engage the visitor in history directly upon arrival – a stone paved pathway lined with concrete information walls leads the visitor toward the entrance. The information walls give the visitor a chronological description of significant events in Finland’s history. This way part of the museum is accessible to all visitors to the site - even when the building is not open. Materials I have chosen glass as the main the façade material to reflect the historical surroundings of the Castle area. The other façade material is oak wood panels in reference to the regional ‘flower’, oak. Existing buildings on site that are part of the building are a brick building and four yellow- painted log buildings.
