Graphic Concrete Hämeenlinna Provincial Archive

 “We decided to coat the facades of the archive with graffiti. This black national memory stick is embroidered with tags found in the depths of the archive: from peasants’ bookmarks and the letters of kings to contemporary internet symbols. This was made possible by the Graphic Concrete technology.”

Mikko Heikkinen, Architect, Heikkinen-Komonen Architects

The building is a winner of the Finnish Concrete Structure of the Year 2009 award.
