Architectural Copper Review | 2005 / 2 European Architectural Awards 12 As an offshoot of the European Copper in Architecture campaign, the Copper in Architecture Awards have been given out in Great Britain. This year the com- petition was extended to include 18 countries, and attracted a total of 60 candidates. The jury of archi- tects had Paul Finch from The Architectural Review as foreman, and could in September declare the winners at a ceremony in London.
Information about the next Copper in Architecture Awards will soon be made public. If you have an entry, please contact : helpline@copperdev.co.uk. Information about Copper in Archi- tecture Awards can be found on: www.cda.org.uk/arch and www.copperconcept.org. The winner of European Copper Award 2005 is the beautiful Laajasalo Church in Helsinki, designed by Kari Jarvinen Ja Merja Nieminen. Specialist contractor: Outokumpu/Levykaksikko. The church’s main areas are facing the street corner and are very prominent. The copper-clad campanile is separated from the church to complete the ap- proach to the building. The large facades are clad in green-patinated copper sheets in strips of 150, 200 and 250mm. The brown-patinated light towers facing the yard shine like lighthouses at night and let sunlight in during the day. The interior surfaces are made mostly in different kinds of wood, while the carpentry of the altar is partly framed with copper. The judges said about this project: ”A beautiful church where copper has been used in layers, almost like a cliff face, with soft colours and controlled tones that will develop over time, adding to the harmonious relationship with its natural landscape setting. The build-up Architectural Copper Review | 2005 / 2 of copper panels is concealed with flat, striated surfaces creating an extreme horizontality and unmistakable quality.” 13
