VUODEN METALLIJULKISIVU 2019 is a part of the architecture event PLOOTU19. The prize has a decade-long history of awarding excellent architecture in Sweden and has now expanded to Finland.

Vuoden Metallijulkisivu is awarded by the Finnish sheet metal industry in order to acknowledge and encourage the usage of metal in Finnish architecture. Vuoden Metallijulkisivu pays particular attention to how the building benefits from the properties and possibilities of the different metals, as well as the level of innovation and sustainability – both environmental and social.

To enter the competition the building needed to have metal façade and/or roof. It also needed to have been designed by a Finnish architecture firm but could be located in Finland or abroad and the building must have been completed between January 2018 – August 2019. The jury consists of experts in architecture and specialists in metal facades.


The winner will be announced during the architecture event PLOOTU19, September 12th, Cable Factory/Kaapelitehdas, Helsinki.
