THE ATELIER
Founded in 2020 in Helsinki by architect Saana Koivusalo, Atelier Saana Koivusalo is an internationally-oriented architecture and art studio. The work combines elements used in architecture, sculpture, and music.
Architecture = Idea
Architecture is a cultural practice where the cultural set of values are translated into a physical form. Architecture unfolds when a building or a city is constructed on an idea.
Sculpture
Creating glass sculptures is about creating spaces. In the glassblowing process, you can feel the glass inhabiting the empty space, mimicking the shape of the wooden mold. Escaping the center, extending into its corners, building its walls in glass. By sculpting the glass by hand, you can feel the piece grow, twist and turn. That’s when you become the protagonist of your own work.
Music
Playing music is 50/50: Experience & Intuition.
When you know the piece on the keys well enough, you can just let the fingers lead the way.
