\u201dIt is a great honour for Finland and the complete team behind the design of the Helsinki metro stations to be awarded the Nordic Lighting Design Award. The award means a lot to us and feels like a well-deserved prize after years of hard work, cooperation, and building the field of lighting design\u201d, comments project leader Roope Siiroinen from VALOA design.<\/p>\n

\u201dHelsinki metro stations project was a great example of the significance of cooperation of different fields in built environment and the possibilities of integrating lighting into architecture. It is great to see that the final result is appreciated\u201d, comments lighting designer Marko Kuusisto from VALOA design.<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201dThe project is highly innovative \u2013 these are not your typical metro stations \u2013 yet at the same time visually durable; the jury believes that these environments will also remain pleasant and memorable over time\u201d, says the chair of the jury Ourania Georgoutsakou.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jury further states, \u201dThe lighting is a very well-integrated part of the architecture. There is a great variety among different stations, and yet every station remains within the lighting concept as a whole. Every station is unique but still \u2013 even in this huge project \u2013 one can see the resemblance between them. Ingenuity best describes this project \u2013 the lighting designers have been very successful in developing and applying many different solutions. The jury also very much appreciates how light is used on vertical surfaces and behind glass. This gives the feeling of a larger space and facilitates orientation.\u201d<\/p>\n
