Public Attic Project in Helsinki, Finland

Finnish Architecture Intervention - design by C-Laboratory

12 Feb 2010 Public Attic Design: Casagrande Laboratory Photos: Yehia Eweis A Public Attic for Helsinki facing the Parliament of Finland Attic is the memory of a house. In attic time is different. Attic is not routine, attic don't have stress. All the objects are tied to stories. Attic is a narrative space. Also a city can have an attic. A public attic to reflect the collective subconscious. People were bringing objects to our Public Attic and exchanging them for free. This became a small spontaneous community centre of improvised architecture during the Helsinki Festival 2004. All the building material was recycled from various construction sites from around Helsinki. Public Attic Helsinki - Building information Location: adj.
