Collaborative Work
Collaborative Work
After working at David Chipperfield Architects in roles such as project architect and deputy design team leader, and after founding his first practice in London, Toni Yli-Suvanto continued close relationship with David Chipperfield Architects, collaborating with London, Berlin and Shanghai offices on various key international competitions and projects. After moving his practice from London to Helsinki in 2007, the collaboration continued.
The collaborative work included winning entries and following work to specific extent on projects such as Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield, Anchorage Museum of History and Art, St. Pancras Square development in London, St. Louis Art Museum, Turner Contemporary Museum in Margate, Folkwang Museum in Essen, The Rockbund in Shanghai, Ninetree Village in Hangzhou, Kattendijkdok development in Antwerp, James Simon Galerie in Berlin, Kunsthaus Art Museum in Zürich and Morland Mixité Capitale in Paris.
Toni Yli-Suvanto’s experience at ETH in Switzerland and his long working and collaborating relationship with the offices of David Chipperfield Architects has had great influence on the origins of the practice, on its design approach, the strategy of developing spatial organisations, the relationship between the interiors and the exteriors, development of the materiality concepts, and the relationship of the design solutions with its context.
