It is clad with a crystalline façade inspired by basalt formations and gained great cultural importance in Iceland, becoming one of its greatest attractions.
Pirkkala church
Pirkkala church hosts the worship and clubhouse spaces of the Pirkkala Parish. Using natural light as the main means of creating a sacred and immersive atmosphere, the building creates DELIGHT for the local people. The church is built in close connection to its surrounding ENVIRONMENT, as the architecture competition winning entry of Käpy and Simo Paavilainen was named after the nearby creek Pyhäjoki (Sacred River).
Inujima Art Museum
The Seirensho Art Museum is located on Inujima island at the Seto Inland Sea in Japan and works with the sun, the wind and the found industrial ruins and byproducts (all what Sambuichi calls “moving materials”), to salvage the post-industrial site of a copper refinery and create a visitor experience guided by the natural elements.
