We were Finnish Cultural Institute of New York‘s artists-in-residence in August 2016. During the month we studied and explored four urban topics that we reported in our blog. The topics deal with subjects that are current in our practice as architects and urban designers and planners here in Finland. Our aim was to make on-site hands-on observations on the four topics that we had explored in theory back home in Finland.

In the gallery below you’ll find a complete list of our posts that were reported here in our blog. In the gallery you’ll find links to each of the blog posts.
