The project reflects on architecture as a collective endeavor, highlighting the invisible work behind the creation and preservation of the built environment. Hosted in the iconic Finnish Pavilion by Alvar Aalto, originally designed as a temporary structure and later made permanent, the exhibition pays tribute to all those involved – architects, engineers, craftsmen, maintenance staff and cleaners – who have helped keep it alive over time. Tracing the history of the Pavilion, the exhibition recognizes these individuals as co-creators alongside the original architect, challenging the myth of authorship and inviting us to reconsider the heritage as a shared and ongoing responsibility.
