There is a crying shortage of architects in Finland – starting positions should be increased, but the ministry is throwing up its hands
More architects are needed in Finland, but education cannot keep up with the demand. Already in the 1990s, more than half of the apartment buildings in Finland were designed by non-architects.
Aalto University, located in Otaniemi, Espoo, is one of the three majors where you can study to become an architect. The other two are the University of Oulu and the University of Tampere.
When the talk turns to the shortage of architects, Sanaksenaho compares Finland to Denmark. Denmark has only slightly more inhabitants than Finland.
– Quite a few architects are trained in Finland compared to Denmark. We have about half as many starting places as in Denmark, Sanaksenaho states.
Denmark has systematically increased the intake of architecture students over the past 20 years. Architecture is part of Denmark’s tourism strategy, construction and design services have become an export product. Denmark also builds a landscape with architecture.
As a result of increasing education, there are approximately 10,000 architects in Denmark. It is more than three times more than in Finland. Still, the unemployment rate is the same as ours, 3–4 percent.
