Kirsti mukana the Bloomsbury Global Encyclopedia of Women in Architecture -julkaisussa.
Bloomsbury Publishing on koonnut hienon julkaisun naisarkkitehdeistä vuosina 1960-2020.
Tiiviit esittelyt 135 maasta on koottu ensyklopediaksi, jossa on yli 1000 hakusanaa ja 600 kuvaa. Se kattaa arkkitehtuurin parissa työskennelleiden naisten toiminnan aikana, jolloin naiset tulivat suurin joukoin opiskelemaan ja lopulta murtautuivat näkyviksi arkkiitehtuurin tekijöiksi ja toimijoiksi.
Suomen osuuden on kirjoittanut arkkitehti Pirkko-Liisa Schulman.
Kiitos Piko!
Artikkelit käsittelevät pioneereja, suomalaisia naisarkkitehtejä akateemisessa maailmassa, kaupunkisuunnittelussa ja julkishallinnossa sekä maisema-arkkitehtejä ja nuoria nousevia suomalaisia tekijöitä. Lopuksi on 13 naisarkkitehdin profiilia – Kirsti aakkosjärjestyksessä viimeisenä.
Teos on julkaistu digitaalisena heinäkuussa 2025, ja se on tarkoitus painaa ja julkaista kaksiosaisena keväällä 2026.

Affordable suburban infill,
construction with added greenery.
Gunillantie 3 is an example of infill construction that densifies the eastern suburbs of Helsinki while respecting the airy construction method. 81 state subsidized rental apartments were built for the City of Helsinki on the site of a decommissioned, demolished thermal power plant in a strong rocky terrain. In addition to parking, there is a maintenance depot under the courtyard deck.
The apartments are located around precisely dimensioned stairwells. The stairways receive natural light through narrow light wells. There are 5 reasonably sized apartments on the basic floors. Even the studios have articulated spaces for all basic needs. The largest family apartments open to 3 directions. The residents' common areas are mainly by the courtyard, the second sauna and common area unit is on the top floor of the easternmost building, which offers long views of the sea. The high floor height required by the depot and parking garage was utilized as storage mezzanines and airy entrances to the lower courtyards. The small commercial premises are located on the southern edge of the street.
The conventional appearance of the white concrete facade elements was broken by moving the vertical seams to the edges of the window openings with the extensions of the outer shell and by fading the horizontal seam under the large slanted water sheet at the bottom of the windows. The facade relief was supported by a slanted perforated sheet placed in front of the ventilation windows. White concrete vertical strips structure the uniform, west-facing balcony zones. The balcony railings are patterned glass. The basement/warehouse floor facades are umber-treated grooved concrete.
