Their canopy at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki propelled Finnish K2S Architects to well-deserved fame. They have followed that winning effort with projects characterised by strong design concepts, leading the functionalistic tradition of Finnish architecture into the 20th century. The Kamppi Chapel of Silence, which opened in Helsinki in 2012, has already become an iconic landmark of the Finnish capital. This book presents the wider scope of K2S'; work, which proves that they're not only masters of grand gestures but can deftly handle a range of scales and challenges, from residential buildings, hospitals and schools, to the tiniest Finnish sauna.
