The 20s are here! The Museum of Finnish Architecture organizes three walking tours to 1920s Helsinki residential areas as part of the Open House Helsinki 2021 festival. On Sunday, under the guidance of the Museum of Finnish Architecture, we will visit Puu-Käpylä, where the English garden city idea meets the Finnish wooden city tradition in the spirit of the 1920s. What special features did the “freer plan” allow? What were the predictive features of modernism in the construction of Puu-Käpylä? And why did the fate of such a prestigious residential area end up at stake in the 1960s? Welcome!
The walking tour is free of charge and held in English. Participation requires pre-registration. Please note that the walking tour and the waiting list are full. We do not accept any new registrations.
