Aims

The aim of the Arkki foundation is to promote architecture education in Finland in order to help children to fully discover and enjoy their built environment and architecture, to help to understand the impact and meaning of architecture to man and to help understand everybody´s joint responsibility of the environment. Young people learn to observe the environment and analyze it critically. Their personal relationship to the built environment develops as well as their skills of participation.

Through different activities Arkki wishes to light a spark in young people´s minds so that they want to influence and participate in the  development of  the built environment in the future, whatever their occupation is.
