Koti 2030 – Pori Jazz and the future of the Finnish house

Tiistaina 7. heinäkuuta 2009

Finnish Cultural Foundation is turning its eyes on built environment. For several years Pori Jazz Festival has been accompanied with SuomiAreena, a series of discussions on different aspects  of  contemporary Finland. This year the Cultural Foundation will organize  a discussion focusing on how housing in Finland will change due to global warming and other forces changing our society. Are sustainability, ambitious architecture and Finnish tastes compatible? I will be moderating a discussion on this on the 17th of July at 11.00 a.m at Pori Art Museum. Joining me are Olli Niemi from NCC Construction, professor Panu Kaila and mp Oras Tynkynen, who is also the government’s dedicated expert on climate change. It is a promising group of experts not afraid to say what they think. So, between Duffy on Thursday and Booker T. Jones on Friday evening, can you think of anything better to do?  Have coffee at The Pori Museum and listen to some house debate with heart and soul.
