The urban design goal is to create a pedestrian-friendly central area along Aviabulevardi where culture, art, experiences and history intersect. A covered entrance plaza, complemented by a continuous stone pavement, integrates the museum, Tiiranpuisto park and the Aviapolis X pavilion into a unified urban space. The museum’s façade serves as a backdrop for events extending into Tiiranpuisto park.
The varied heights and orientations of the buildings accommodate their functional needs. In our architecture and material choices, emphasis has been placed on highlighting the independent character of each building. The museum is primarily constructed of metal and glass to encompass the world of aviation. The high school’s material selections are rooted in the tones of the local bedrock. Finally, the layout has been strategically designed so that the lobbies of the two buildings along Aviabulevard can be connected by a small extension, allowing the synergies between the high school and the museum to be unlocked and enhanced.
