Internationales Holzbau-Forum IHF 2016 City of Helsinki as a Platform for Wood Construction Development | K. Kuisma 3 City of Helsinki as a Platform for Wood Construction Development 1. Helsinki has always been a wooden city 1.1. Early days of wooden city Helsinki has always been a city of wooden buildings. Since its founding in 1550 until the late 19th century, wood was the main material of buildings. The city structure was formed by one and two storey wooden city blocks, where working-class people lived. Only the state and church could afford construction in brick or stone. Big city fires have destroyed Helsinki totally or partially approximately once a century between 1550-1900. 1.2. Historical wooden house districts Helsinki expanded rapidly in the early 1900s. Several working-class wooden house dis- tricts were developed to ease the considerable housing shortage. Many of these neigh- bourhoods were demolished in the big wave of urbanization of 1960s and 1970s, but at the same time the remaining wooden house districts were protected. The formerly working-class neighbourhoods then transformed into middle-class neigh- bourhoods favoured by urban bohemians, complete with corner bars, cafés and small street-level shops.

Ensisijaisena tavoitteena on analysoida paikannimien roolia fiktiivisen Helsinki-kuvan rakentamisessa. Lisäksi pyritään muodostamaan kokonaisvaltainen käsitys siitä, millaisia paikannimiä romaaneissa esiintyy. Tutkimuksen aineistona on Kuka murhasi rouva Skrofin? (1939) ja Komisario Palmun erehdys (1940) -romaanien paikannimet. Tutkimusaineistossa on yhteensä 58 paikannimeä. Näistä 39 nimeä viittaa Helsingissä sijaitseviin paikkoihin. 12 nimistä on ulkomailla sijaitsevien paikkojen nimiä ja seitsemän taas viittaa muualla Suomessa sijaitseviin paikkoihin. Nimistä 52 on autenttisia paikannimiä ja kuusi fiktiivisiä. Suurin osa nimistä viittaa alueisiin (25 nimeä), kulkuväyliin ja rakennelmiin

    Helsinki brandi Huomioita tutkimuksista Kuudes Kerros In the forests of Finland people enjoy “everyman’s rights.” Helsinki citizens have translated this tradition into a new urban attitude. People and communities are engaging in developing the city’s corners into better places and Helsinki is becoming a more enjoyable and inspiring hometown. - Hella Hernberg - Kuudes Kerros Nuoret ja Helsinki (Nuorisoasiankeskus – Kaverit Keskiössä, raportti NuHa-hankkeesta 2015) • Muutama haastateltava korosti paikallisidentiteettiään tehden selkeän eron oman alueensa ja muiden alueiden välille. • Asuinalueesta on tullut osalle nuorista osa identiteettiä, ja siten asuinalueen paikallisella kulttuurilla ja asuinalueeseen liittyvillä mielikuvilla on merkitystä heidän minäkuvalleen • Riippumatta siitä, missä päin Helsinkiä nuoret asuvat, he kaipaavat lähiympäristöltään samankaltaisia asioita ja kokevat samankaltaiset asiat asuinalueella epämiellyttävinä. • Helsinkiä globaalissa mittakaavassa tarkastelevat sen sijaan kuvasivat Helsinkiä todellisiin metropoleihin verrattuna pieneksi ja pysähtyneeksi • Monet nuoret arvostivat Helsingin kompaktiutta – osa nuorista myös kokee kaupungin liiallisen kasvun uhkaavan Helsingin erityispiirteitä, kuten vihreyttä, väljyyttä ja haltuun otettavaa kokoa. • On sitä parempi, mitä enemmän tapahtumia, mitä enemmän alakulttuureja, mitä enemmän paikkoja ja erilaisia ihmisiä.

  • Finland & Iceland
    Finland & Iceland With optional extension trip to Greenland July 13 - 27, 2016 Tour leader: Robert Veel Finland & Iceland Overview This 15-day tour captures the essence of two remarkable Nordic countries, Finland and Iceland. Each is highly distinctive and very different from mainstream European culture. Both offer a compelling amalgam of mythology, history, outstanding natural scenery, art, architecture and design. First and foremost, it is the natural beauty of Finland and Iceland that attracts visitors – forests, lakes, thousands of kilometres of pristine coastline in Finland, and the wild landscape of Iceland, with lava fields, long stretches of remote coastline, glaciers and many active volcanoes. Nature is ever present in Nordic culture: in Norse and Finnish myths and legends, in the painting of the Finnish school, in the music of Jean Sibelius, in the decorative flourishes of Art Nouveau architecture, in the natural timbers of Scandinavian design and in the spectacular northern school of modern and contemporary architecture. History, myth and nature are also used to create national identity in both countries. For the Finns it is the image of the independent, practical Karelian peasant, celebrated in the literature of the Kalavela and through painting, architecture and music. For Icelanders, it is the Viking sagas, documenting the occupation of Iceland since the tenth century that provide ongoing inspiration for Icelanders and a unique sense of place for visitors. In Finland we explore the history, architecture and design of the capital, Helsinki, before travelling north to the lakes to enjoy an opera at Savonlinna, a 15th-century castle. Our nine days in Iceland include excursions in and around the vibrant capital Reykjavík, the fjords of Akureyri in the north and the outstanding scenery of the Snaefells peninsula.

  • Exchange Report
    Monthly Activity Log September The start of September is where the orientation activities began. I attend the Aalto party with other UST exchange students and introduced myself to some people in my tutor group. I played games at booths and learnt about the different clubs and societies. With my tutor group I joined Mursujaiset (image on the left)- an event that lasts for 24 hours, the purpose is to officially inaugurate the freshmen (referred to as ‘Mursu’) The day was filled with “interesting” performances, team bonding games and other traditions. Not even sure how to explain the day. I stayed for the first 15 hours and all I can say is that it was a memorable Aalto exchange experience. Even if you can’t stay for the full 24 hours, make sure you’re there for the first 12 hours! I also participated in a 5km run, as someone who is not sporty the run was surprisingly quite fun, and the route was scenic. During the first period (September to Mid-October) I took 3 courses that had quite a heavy workload. The weather is great in September so be sure to go outside and soak up the sun! Sibelius Monument – Mursujaiset 5km Run Aalto Party October After finishing classes from period 1, I had 3 exams that took up the full exam week. During the study break, I went to Oodi Helsinki Library to study, the library is very homey and has amazing interior designs. On the weekend I went with other exchange students to Nuuksio National Park. The national park is closest to the city and is most convenient to get there.
