The competition was organized by the city of Pori. The city was looking for a proposal that is architecturally and technically sound and fits well into the existing environment. The winning entry was submitted together with Burger-Talo Oy the entry replaces the existing building with a new pavilion.
The pavilion is in two main parts. The space in between becomes an axis which visually and circulation wise connects to the symmetrically planned square. The commercial spaces occupy both ends of the new pavilion. The southern side also includes bathroom facilities and storage for the market square users.
The facades of the pavilion are covered with large glass surfaces in order to make the spaces visually inviting and light. On top of the glass a wooden canopy hangs over the structure. It will be a good place to wait for a bus during rainy weather or scorching sun. The wooden wing is lit and will glow warm light to the surroundings. The metal facade portions of the building will have integrated city operated information screens and the roof will be covered with solar panels. The timetable is aiming for completion by the summer of 2021.

Byråns grundare Sigvard Eklund somnade lugnt in onsdagen den 11 september 2019 i Åbo. Han hade en månad tidigare fyllt 91 år. Sigvard föddes på Heideken den 15 augusti 1928, växte upp på Allégatan och blev student från Svenska Samskolan i Åbo 1947. Han avlade arkitektexamen vid Tekniska högskolan i Helsingfors 1954. Arkitektyrket hade han i blodet då hans pappa Aarne Eklund redan var arkitekt. Sin egna byrå, Arkkitehtitoimisto Eeva-Kaarina & Sigvard Eklund Ky grundade han 1956 med sin hustru Eeva-Kaarina.
Arkitektbyrån växte stadigt och namnet ändrades till Sigge Arkitekter Ab efter Sigvards smeknamn. Byrån verkar idag i Åbo och Helsingfors och ger arbete åt ca 60 personer.
Sigvard utstrålade värme och hade sinne för humor. I sin verksamhet var han alltid positiv, uppmuntrande och vänlig. Han fann stort intresse i kultur, resor och konst.

Åbo Akademis humanistiska fakultet i Åbo är belägen i det gamla stålfabrikskvarteret. Kvarteret ligger vid Aura å, mellan Biskops-, Fabriks, Kasern- och Ågatan. År 1856 grundades till kvarteret Åbo Jernmanufaktur Bolag. Bolaget fungerade ända till år 1952 i kvarteret, då i Fiskars Ab:s ägo. Kvarterets äldsta byggnader är från 1850-talet och de senaste byggnaderna från 1930-talet.
Projektet har sin grund i en inbjuden arkitekturtävling (SAFA) från år 1997 och det vinnande tävlingsförslaget ”fabrik”. Planeringens utgångspunkt var att samla den Humanistiska fakultetens olika verksamhetsområden och sektioner i samma kvarter, tillsammans i en akademisk fabrik.
