The busiest month of World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 offers an incredibly extensive overview of design. During Design September 2012, World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 will be livelier and more international than ever. Approximately 200 events, which are predominantly free-of-charge, will delight visitors in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen and Lahti. The international design community will participate in the exhibitions and the events. The programme is within everyone’s reach and easily accessible.

The central events of Design September include the Everyday Discoveries – International Design

House Exhibition in Suvilahti, Helsinki Design Week, the Habitare Fair, the launch of activities at the Abattoir, and the finale at the Pavilion. The event venues are Suvilahti, the Old Customs Warehouse, the Cable Factory, the Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Centre, the Abattoir area and the Pavilion.

This is the guide to the highlights of Design September 2012: exhibitions, events and locations. In addition to these highlights there is a lot more to explore. Websites www.wdchelsinki2012.fi, www.helsinkidesignweek.com and www.habitare.fi will guide you further.

We have pieced together five different route choices to help you get the most out of the Design September programme: for children and the young at heart, the urban explorer, culture vultures, technology and tuning, bon vivants and foodies. You can find them in the For Visitors section at the WDC Helsinki 2012 website. The website and the mobile app WDC 2012 will also keep you up-to-date with Design September’s latest news.

Welcome!

A mini world design exhibition is taking over Suvilahti!

“Everyday Discoveries” is unique in its comprehensive presentation of international design. The exhibition will see more than 20 countries showcase their design, ideas and concepts as well as organise a number of different events. The exhibition’s underlying theme is day-to-day life – what is it like in the participating countries, and what kind of solutions to certain everyday situations have people come up with in the different countries?

The free-of-charge exhibition at Suvilahti, Helsinki, will take place both indoors and outdoors. The site will house a container village, café, design shop and urban garden, and the participating countries will be offering visitors a varied programme ranging from lectures to parties. There will be things to do and experience for adults and children alike, and for everyone from design professionals to anyone with the slightest interest in design.

The exhibition is built around a joint display in Kattilahalli, where the countries come together under different themes to, for example, share a table.

In addition to the joint display, the countries will present their own designs in separate exhibitions, which will explore day-to-day themes and everyday design in more depth from a number of different angles. Visitors get to try out a North American children’s playground or have a go at the Irish game of hurling.

This year’s biennial review of Finnish architecture is new in its approach. In addition to highlighting the featured projects, it looks at various role interfaces. When visitors examine architecture from the multiple viewpoints of the architect, the developer, the contractor and the user, the result is a deeper, multifaceted understanding of architecture.

S M A RT L I V I N G ( 6 . 6 . – 3 0 . 9 . 2 012 )

Building an ecologically sustainable home is one of the most important good deeds that any family can do for our planet. How can we build and modernize our homes to make them sustainable both for ourselves and the planet? The homes of the future will generate their own energy – what will they look like?

The Abattoir (“Teurastamo” in Finnish) is a fresh addition to the urban culture in Helsinki. Originally the area served as an abattoir, but now this historical area is being transformed into a creative food hub. The Abattoir is providing a place for small food related businesses to try out concepts that have not existed in Helsinki before.

From September to December 2012, the Kellohalli restaurant and event venue will act as the main stage for the culinary and design events of the World Design Capital Helsinki 2012.

Kellohalli offers lunch prepared by the most innovative Finnish and international chefs. Kellohalli also offers dinners combining food and design. Kellohalli is open from Wednesday to Sunday. In addition to weekday lunches, at weekends Kellohalli serves a long and delightful brunch.

Curated by Annamari Vänskä, the exhibition will combine visual, material, musical and dance arts into one large total artwork, or Gesamtkuntswerk. As its name implies, Boutique is reminiscent of a fashion house: architects Jaakko Pesonen and Klaus Aalto will transform the museum facilities into an area containing shop-in-shops, where artists and designers will create collaborative works. The exhibition’s logos are based on photographs prepared as collaborative work by artist Rauha Mäkilä and photographer Jualiana Harki as well as on Mäkilä’s paintings.

The music and sound for the works on display will be designed by Vellu ”DJ Slow” Maurola who works with UMO Jazz Orchestra.

Today’s hottest name in the international art world weaves with an open mind influences from technology, space research and social theory into a web.

Saraceno has studied spiders and their webs for his works exhibited at the Helsinki Festival. The room-sized installation, 14 Billions (Working Title) – a giant Black Widow’s web built out of ropes consisting of tens of thousands of knots – is on display for the first time in Finland.

In addition, Saraceno creates a whole new piece of art in Helsinki in which spider webs collected from a geographically wide area and models based on them meet.

The Futuro is a plastic house designed by architect Matti Suuronen. Elliptical in shape, the house captures the experimental forms, new materials and optimistic ideas of the space-age architecture and design of the late 1960s. The Futuro, exposed to the elements for over 40 years, has been carefully restored and brought to WeeGee’s courtyard.

A chapel of silence is constructed on the busy Narinkka square to offer a space of retreat and encounter. Originally, the idea of an urban chapel came from the City of Helsinki. The client is the parish union of Helsinki. The parish unions of Espoo and Vantaa have participated in planning the future activities in the chapel.

The chapel is designed by K2S Architects with architect Mikko Summanen as the main designer. The chapel is a fine example of innovative timber architecture, and the design has already been recognised: it was awarded with the Chicago Athenaeum International Architecture Award 2010.
