In the era of environmental crisis, Vapaa Collective envisions a world that is fundamentally transformed but worth pursuing.

Vapaa is a creative collective that discusses the holistic societal disruption necessitated by the environmental crisis. Its focus is on human environments and the construction industry. The collective combines theoretical and design work into artistic practice to envision new kinds of regenerative environments. 


Vapaa Collective was founded in 2019 by architects Iines Karkulahti, Charlotte Nyholm and Meri Wiikinkoski, who design, write, lecture, curate and facilitate workshops on urban transformations.
