“Unbuilt Helsinki” the process
Unbuilt Helsinki is an exhibition about the unbuilt city and its inhabitants curated by Åbäke & Nene Tsuboi with the archives of the Museum of Finnish Architecture. ‘Unbuilt Helsinki’ is not a critique of Helsinki as it is. This is an alternative present and future. A parallel city where ambitious and utopian visions are realized. Selected from the museums archives unrealized projects are selected, researched and brought to life as models with the help of students and young architects.
