Ark Rex 2026. Välilasku — mellanlandning — stopover

The opening of the event centres on one of Finland’s most iconic buildings, a structure that came into existence as the result of an architectural competition.
At the same time, in collaboration with SAFA (the Finnish Association of Architects), we are celebrating the 150-year history of architectural competitions. We also celebrate the significance of public discourse among architects and the impact that architectural competitions have had on Finland’s built environment.
