Opening in October, Turku Music Centre Fuuga will join Turku’s Cultural Waterfront as part of a string of cultural venues, museums and galleries. Rather than striving to stand out boldly, Fuuga’s rounded forms create a welcoming presence, evoking something shaped by the flow of the river.
The copper façades change with the light and weather, taking on different tones throughout the day. The material was inspired by the surrounding buildings, including the adjacent Turku City Theatre, which Fuuga connects to underground, and the government office building behind it.
In the late-day sun, the copper radiates warmth across the river. After dark, Fuuga is not floodlit from the outside - instead, light spills through the tall windows, bringing the building to life from within during events and performances. Views into the interior further blur the boundary between inside and outside.
