WDC House in venerable Helsinki city centre

 

International Design Foundation has selected its home base: World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 (WDC Helsinki 2012) will be managed from Aleksanterinkatu 16, in the so called Remnander House, on the south side of Senate Square in the neoclassical Helsinki city centre.

 

Named WDC House, the facilities will house both the offices of the Foundation and an information and service area for the general public.

 

The Foundation seeks to attract other players related to the WDC project to the same city block, to be located there through the Design Year 2012.

 

There are plans for another public information and service facility and WDC operations centre to be set up in Lahti, one of the five participating cities in the WDC project.
