- Autenticitet inom arkitektonisk konservering - Autenticitet i fasader på kulturhistoriskt värdefulla byggnader i Helsingfors(2025-12-03) Tujulin, KarolinaSchool of Arts, Design and Architecture | Bachelor's thesisAuthenticity can be considered a central yet subjective concept in architectural conservation. In facades of culturally and historically valuable buildings decisions become critical, as the facade can be viewed as the building’s public identity. This study examines how material substitution and material imitation can be understood, warranted and evaluated in Finnish restoration, as well as how these decisions influence the different dimensions of authenticity. The study is a literature review in which philosophical perspectives on authenticity are connected to guidelines. Although conservation is often addressed from a material-based perspective, the study discusses how authenticity cannot be reduced solely to original materials, but can also be shaped by cultural values, patina, use, and the observer’s interpretation. In material-based conservation within architecture a paradox arises in which replacement is required for long-term preservation but risks the loss of material authenticity. The study examines which kinds of materials should be used for such replacement and to what extent imitation and substitution can be considered acceptable. The case study of the marble facades of Finlandia Hall shows how authenticity in preservation can lead to practical dilemmas. Alvar Aalto’s choice of Carrara marble became strongly tied to the building’s identity, but the material proved to be technically unsuitable for the Finnish climate. The major facade renovations of Finlandia Hall illustrate how restoration decisions are influenced by protection regulations, sustainability, economics, and architectural intent. The study demonstrates that material substitution in facades can rarely be assessed through fixed criteria. Instead, one must evaluate aesthetic legibility, historical continuity, and ethical responsibility toward future generations. The results indicate that the various dimensions of authenticity should be considered in conservation, not solely material authenticity.

- Patinan ja lian rajapinnalla – Ajan jälkien merkitykset rakennuksissa(2025-12-04) Ylivakeri, SiniSchool of Arts, Design and Architecture | Bachelor's thesisThe aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to examine how dirt and patina are distinguished from one another in building conservation, and on what grounds the temporal layers on building surfaces are interpreted as either worth preserving or removing. The study is based on literature in restoration theory and architectural conservation, complemented by cultural and aesthetic perspectives. The analysis shows that the difference between dirt and patina is not a straightforward technical definition, but an interpretive and context-dependent assessment that combines material knowledge, the building’s usability, and prevailing value frameworks. The results indicate that building conservation is a process in which traces of time are evaluated not only for their appearance, but for how they influence a building’s historical legibility, identity, and long-term preservation. Changes brought about by time may enhance a building’s value, but they may also threaten its material integrity or use, making decisions inherently case-specific. The thesis further shows that in contemporary architecture, the natural aging of materials is increasingly viewed as part of a building’s life cycle, which also shapes current understandings of preservation practices. In conclusion, the thesis highlights that drawing the boundary between dirt and patina is ultimately a question of what kind of relationship a building is intended to have with time. The aim of conservation is not to halt change, but to make its meaning comprehensible and to provide a foundation for the long-term preservation of buildings.

- Arkkitehtuurin näkökulmia 1930-luvun suurten tuberkuloosiparantoloiden uusiokäyttöön – tapausesimerkkinä Kiljavan sairaala(2025-12-04) Leivonen, TyttiSchool of Arts, Design and Architecture | Bachelor's thesisAt the beginning of the 20th century in Europe, tuberculosis was treated in large sanatoria, where the architecture was regarded as an essential part of the treatment. The sanatorium building type developed simultaneously with modern architecture and functionalism, and many design principles used in sanatoria, that were based on the medical knowledge of the time, were transferred to other kinds of building as well. As medical treatments for tuberculosis advanced in the mid-20th century, the sanatoria became unnecessary. This bachelor’s thesis examines the large tuberculosis sanatoria of the 1930s in Europe and Finland. The aim of the study was to determine how these sanatoria have been successfully reused and what potential future uses could be found for them. The thesis is carried out primarily as a literature review, examining broader literature related to the adaptive reuse of buildings and the history of sanatoria, as well as English-language studies addressing the reuse of sanatoria in Europe. The thesis also uses Kiljava hospital as a case study. It was designed by Jussi Paatela and completed in 1938 as a tuberculosis sanatorium. Today it functions as a rehabilitation hospital. The topic is timely for several reasons. Many sanatoria in Finland have been owned by municipalities and cities. This decade, the social and healthcare reform, along with the need for savings in wellbeing services counties and municipalities, as well as the new Building Act, all affect the use of sanatoria. The literature review revealed that it is difficult to find generalizable solutions for the reuse of buildings. Even when buildings share similar typological features, they must be examined individually, considering the values and associations attached to them. In the reuse of protected buildings, it is particularly important to preserve traces of the original use in both the interior and exterior spaces. In Europe, tuberculosis sanatoria have been converted into hotels, educational, research, and administrative buildings, as well as facilities for various rehabilitation and care services. In Finland, the large sanatoria of the 1930s have most commonly remained in use within the healthcare sector. Their locations in beautiful natural surroundings can be considered one of the greatest strengths for their reuse.

- Ympärivuorokautisen palveluasumisen asukkaiden yhteys ympäristöön -Iäkkäiden mahdollisuudet ulkoyhteyksiin Suomessa(2025-12-04) Lehtinen, ElenaSchool of Arts, Design and Architecture | Bachelor's thesisAssisted living residents are individuals in poor health who rely on help in care. Their connection to the surrounding environment often depends on the assistance provided by staff, which limits independence. Their growing number relative to the rest of the population further increases the need for care places and personnel. To safeguard the well-being of the elderly, support and solutions that promote independent functioning are needed, which respect humane and dignified old age. The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to explore which architectural means can promote the residents’ connection to the local environment in assisted living. The study was conducted as a literature review, through which functional limitations, as well as the wishes and needs of the elderly in care, were examined. Together with the functional limitations, a study based on health benefits of outdoor activities and surveys conducted with the elderly, this led to an understanding of how elderly well-being can be supported in care. The work found that the health of the elderly is holistic, requiring a variety of spaces to maintain it. Their well-being could be enhanced by enabling outdoor connections. Access to outdoor experiences was affected by individual functional limitations of the elderly, such as mobility difficulties, memory disorders, and depression. Fulfilling the elderly’s wishes and enabling participation in their own lives were desirable aspects of their lives, which aligns with rehabilitation goals. Finland’s climatic conditions reduced opportunities for outdoor activities. Based on these influential factors, outdoor experiential quality in enhanced assisted living facilities can be increased through views, outdoor and transitional spaces. From the thesis, it can be concluded that diversifying outdoor connections for the elderly is worthwhile. The possibility of independent living is part of rehabilitation in enhanced assisted living. The elderly’s desire to stay at home as long as possible supports reflecting their past and present life within care. Domestic features, such as independence, choices, and freedom of movement, can be integrated into care. Outdoor connections also help maintain contact with the surrounding environment. Taken together, these factors shape a concept of a pleasant life for the elderly as a continuing participant in society.
