Suomi x Koivisto architects at 'More Than Human' exhibition at London Design Museum
11 July – 5 October 2025
A major exhibition, 'More Than Human' at the London Design Museum (opens a new window) brings together art, science and radical thinking to ask how design can help our planet thrive by shifting its focus beyond human needs.
By bringing together over 140 works spanning contemporary and traditional practices, fine art, product design, architecture and interactive installations, the exhibition will explore how humans can relearn to design with and for the natural world in the face of climate emergency.
The exhibition features more than 50 artists, architects, and designers, including Finnish architect duo Suomi/Koivisto with Alusta Pavilion — a sanctuary for pollinators in the city, originally installed in 2023 in the courtyard between the Museum of Finnish Architecture and Helsinki Design Museum.
The exhibition is on from 11th July until 5th October. For more information on how to access the museum and book tickets, please click here (opens a new window).
Public programme
Join us for a vibrant event inspired by our upcoming exhibition More Than Human, bringing together art, science and radical thinking to ask how design can help our planet thrive by shifting its focus beyond human needs on Saturday 12th July, 2-4pm.
Buildings are never constructed on a blank site, even if it may seem so, but always into a complex web of entangled life. How can we build while simultaneously respecting all life?
Join Elina Koivisto and Maiju Suomi of Suomi/Koivisto Architects for a talk unpacking how their work creates enjoyable living environments for both humans and non-human beings. This will be followed by a workshop where we will slow down to listen and follow the movements of the more-than-human world. Who do we share this space with? What kinds of feelings and thoughts does this encounter raise?
Please note that the workshop will take participants outside the museum, into the Dame Sylvia Crowe Garden and Holland Park. Please let us know if you have access requirements or want further information. The workshop requires focused presence, so we kindly ask that participants join us on time.
