For the Museum of History and the Future in Turku, Finland, RIOS aimed to redefine the museum typology, making it a critical part of the social fabric and a hub for wonder and discovery. RIOS' vision for the Museum of History and the Future focuses on linking the region's dualities—connecting land and sea, history and modernity, and enhancing the connection to landmarks and community spaces. The sustainable design provides a flexible framework with layered experiences, supporting various activities and programming. It elevates the traditional role of a museum by responding to the local context, culture, and site conditions while celebrating Turku's past and future vision for the city.
