Architecture brings well-being to the society
Architecture creates well-being and gives structure to our surroundings. Comfortable, functional and appealing cities, towns and villages are rarely coincidences but rather results of visionary planning and design.
Buildings, blocks and towns are complex systems that incorporate more than meets the eye. Architecture is a powerful tool for shaping the world, where the keys to success lie in advanced know-how and uncompromising quality combined with a strong vision.
The Association of Finnish Architects’ Offices represents architectural companies and advocates a wide range of interests in the field of building industry. Our mission is to promote the conditions for high-class design in all fields of architecture.
”We live in a constructed environment. Good planning and design translate to socially, economically and aesthetically functional spaces for living.”

exporting Finnish architecture to Japan
The Tottakai! initiative was a new opening in export work focusing on Japan. The project received funding from the Ministry of Education and Culture but unfortunataely the project had to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The initiative was intended to offer Finnish architectural offices a possibility to introduce themselves to the Japanese market. Six companies were scheduled to participate in a seminar and business networking meetings in Tokyo in February 2020. In the seminar, the firms would have presented their key works and company practices. The three-day trip was planned to give them an opportunity to meet with potential clients and Japanese architectural companies to discuss possible forms of collaboration.
