Pro Meri-Rastila and young architects’ You Tell Me Collective are hosting a discussion event about the future of Merirasti chapel. The chapel was designed by Kaarlo Leppänen 1991-1993, and its future is now uncertain as the congregation is leaving the building. The building is part of a larger transformation of the Meri-Rastila area where most of the existing public buildings from the mall, school, kindergarten to the youth center will be demolished. What will life be like for the residents during this transformation? Will all the services leave the area at once? And what could be the role of the chapel as one of the last original public buildings during these times? The true value and significance of buildings is many times discovered once they are gone.

The event will be held in Finnish.
