Carson Chan
Chief Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs - Architecture and Design Museum Helsinki @admuseo
We welcome @chan.carson as a speaker to WISE x THE HOUSE OF NORDIC VISIONS at the #nordicembassiesberlin
Carson Chan is the Chief Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs of the new Museum of Architecture and Design in Helsinki @admuseo , a major institution formed through the merger of the Museum of Finnish Architecture and the Design Museum Helsinki.
In this role, Chan is tasked with shaping a next-generation cultural institution that redefines how architecture and design are presented—placing strong emphasis on climate, ecology, and the social role of the built environment. The new museum, scheduled to open later this decade, is conceived as a hybrid platform spanning exhibition-making, research, and public engagement.
In 2021 he became the founding director of the Emilio Ambasz Institute for the Joint Study of the Built and Natural Environment at @themuseumofmodernart of Modern Art (MoMA), where he focused on how architecture engages with ecology, climate, and the environment.
Thank you @idakukka for showing me your grandparents’ Yrjö and Irmeli Kukkapuro’s studio and home @studiokukkapuro. I’ve been a fan of Yrjö’s chairs for some time now and to be in the space where it all happened is something else.
The Kukkapuro studio (1968), a space-age concrete shell designed in collaboration with engineer Eero Paloheimo was conceived as a giant sail – thin, airy, and light. Architect and historian Fang Hai tells of how Yrjö and Irmeli would sit in front of the full windows. Hai, who spent much time with the Kukkapuros in their studio, writes about how they would “sit there every day in order to enjoy the natural feeling which has been the most important sources of inspiration in their work.” “Nature is one essential part of the Kukkapuros, as they said ‘we have not touched the vegetation around the house, we let things grow and develop according to the whims of nature.”
“In the summertime, the surroundings resemble an enormous green aquarium with the trees around it and their huge, green, rustling clouds of leaves.”

I went to visit architect Kai Wartiainen at his studio in Stockholm (which he share with his wife, architect Ingrid Reppen) last weekend to learn about his ecological and urban thinking, influential through his years of teaching in both Finland and Sweden.
Today I went to visit his High Tech Center (2001) in Ruoholahti in the west side of Helsinki. Designed to look like gantry cranes you’ll find in shipping ports, walking through them evoked a kind of infrastructural sublime. Mechanical and cathedral-like.
(Kiitos @juhogronholm for the introduction!)

I need to learn more about this fascinating pendant lamp that Alvar Aalto designed for the Maison Carré in 1958. Carré was an art dealer, and apparently the oddly shaped opening on the side of the lamp was to illuminate artworks on the wall.
Glad I caught the Pertti Männistö collection at @millesgarden. So many Aino and Alvar Aalto furniture prototypes and pieces with tiny editions. Armchair 12 (Image 5, 1932) was made in a small batch in a natural wood finish (as opposed to the more common black). This one was found in a recycling center in Turku and through a series of coincidences made its way into the collection. A rare “spaghetti-bent” prototype from 1954 (image 6-7) was made using an experimental technique where the armrests are made of bent bundles of birch.

Appreciation post for Åke Ahlström and Kell Åström’s apartment complex in Tanto, Stockholm (1962-6). The architects, who also designed the city’s 1960 master plan, saw these 5 curved blocks as the sculptural expression of their vision for the city.
The huge 15-story curved surfaces of the blocks create a canyon effect. Being amongst them one senses a monumental space formed by Modernist ideas of community. Impossible to photograph, really.

I read Juhani Pallasmaa’s The Eyes of the Skin in my first year of architecture school. This was in the late 90s, the book wasn’t assigned for class but through word of mouth it was passed from one person to another in the studio. For first year architecture students, or even for professional architects, his writing often remind us that people and the way they sense the world – how we see shadows play on a wall, how we respond to the sound of footfall, how we perceive temperature – should drive the design process as much as how a building looks.
Besides being an architect, educator, writer (and let’s be frank, a legend!), he was also a former director of the Architecture Museum. @pilvikalhama and I visited Juhani in his studio yesterday (she took the second photo), and seeing his writing room, his desk surrounded by shelves of books and flat files, was a special moment. We at the Musekm and Juhani have many irons in the fire - watch this space!

Ala Architect’s @ala_architects Oodi library @oodihelsinki in Helsinki is an unmitigated success. It’s basically the city’s public living room. People use the spaces in there the way architects place them in renderings. When I was there earlier today, teenagers were gathered under the cantilevered space performing K-pop dances for each other; several chess games were underway in the lobby; people make use of the 3D printers and recording studios in the maker spaces; and the top floor is where people read, use their laptops, or browse the open stacks.
Ala’s (the name means area/territory/domain in Finnish) most known built projects to date all feature spectacular roof/overhang structures. The Kilden Performing Arts Center in Kristiansand (2012, images 9-11), Hesinki Airport arrival/departure hall (2021), Satama Event Center in Kohta (2023), and of course Oodi (2018). They all visually announce themselves to their surroundings, while generously offering shelter and inclusion to people as they approach, like a civic scale greeting.
Thank you @samuliwoolston @juhogronholm @anttinousjoki for showing me around your office!

I knew and admired @vaarnii Vaarnii’s 001 stool (designed by Fredrik Paulsen @fredrikpaulsen) before I knew of the brand. (My downstairs neighbors in Berlin have a bunch of them) They’re like a chunkier, edgier Artek Stool 60. Familiar but uncanny. The cousin who wears Rick Owens.
Everything is made of Finnish pine (in Finland) and designed by one of the coolest roster of designers around (ie. Faye Toogood @soft_baroque @maxlamb @ronanbouroullec @_kwangho_lee @ceciliemanz et al). Thanks @ana_gram_11 for showing me around Vaarnii’s facilities today!

The horizontal layers of El Torcal de Antequera’s karst limestone formations are conducive to fantasies of strangely shaped homes and spaces. We stopped several times on our walk to comment on where a good spot for a home would be. Pace Claude Parent, horizontal surfaces lend themselves to human occupation: a house can be placed on a flat surface, a cantilever can shield weather, and smaller surfaces can be used as tables, counters, or beds. All this was formed about 200 million years ago as a seabed in the Jurassic. (In the last image, the stone habitat was apparently the home of a stone mason and his 7 daughters in the 18th c.)
Image 2: Antonio Sánchez Esteve, who designed the eponymous Cine Torcal (1934) in Antequera transformed the limestone stratification into horizontal banding.

The horizontal layers of El Torcal de Antequera’s karst limestone formations are conducive to fantasies of strangely shaped homes and spaces. We stopped several times on our walk to comment on where a good spot for a home would be.

The neolithic Dolmen of Menga in Antiquera was constructed around 6000 years ago. (The Dolmen of Viera close by was built about a thousand years later) Agriculture was starting to take place, people began to make permanent settlements, homes were being built and designed. If we had to put the birth of architecture on humanity’s timeline, the neolithic would be a good contender for this distinction.
Most dolmens, or megalithic tomb, tend to open to the East – they face the rising sun each day. Many face the direction of sun rise on the equinox. The Dolmen of Menga, one of the largest such neolithic structures in Europe, face the northeast towards the Peña de los Enamorados, a mountain range that looks like the profile of a laying women’s face (images 13-14). What the builders of this dolmen thought so so many years ago we’ll never know, but its decisions like this that let us know we share the same imagination, that like now, narratives and ideas became action.
Inside the dolmen we see holes drilled into the stone. Someone (an architect?) made the decision of make the hole, and that decision still echoes in the world today.

Yesterday I went to see the 18th c altars of the Iglesia del Carmen in Antequera, and calling them overwhelming (especially the central one) would be an understatement. Every surface of the choir is ornamented in a way that the eye has no place to rest. The whole thing is in motion. The figuration and detailing was done so well that they decided not to gild it like most other post-Columbian Andalusian churches.
I went back with local friends in the evening to see the semana santa procession and for the first time understood the civic scale of the Spanish Catholic Church, which one reads about in history class.

Every surface of the choir is ornamented in a way that the eye has no place to rest. The whole thing is in motion. The figuration and detailing was done so well that they decided not to gild it like most other post-Columbian Andalusian churches.
I went back with local friends in the evening to see the semana santa procession and for the first time understood the civic scale of the Spanish Catholic Church, which one reads about in history class.

I have very fond memories of the red Nokia 3310 I got around 2011. I can still probably type out a sentence with only my right thumb on that dial pad without looking at the letters.
Seeing the Nokia archive at @aaltouniversity was, needless to say, a revelation. With more than 20 years of material starting from the mid-1990s – sketches, prototypes, photos, ads, videos – as well as oral histories with more than 200 former designers, it’s hard to take in this trove from Finland’s largest and most influential design company. It’s also hard to exaggerate Nokia’s impact in ushering in the information age by democratizing mobile connectivity. This, of course, will not be my last trip there.

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
