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.

KAISA HOUSE AND THE NEW MAIN L I B R A RY O F U N I V E RS IT Y O F H E LS I N K I Fabianinkatu 3 0 , 0 010 0 H elsinki
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.
The new main library of University of Helsinki serves about one million visitors a year. The service design project in Helsinki University library is part of the World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 programme. The new City Centre Campus Library building, i.e. the Kaisa building represents new, award-winning architecture in the downtown area of Helsinki. It is designed by the architect office Anttinen Oiva Architects. The impressive building was built to replace an old department store property. The new University of Helsinki main library will be opened to all on 3.9.2012.
