  • Underground Resources and Master Plan in Helsinki
    0-LAND_USE: UNDERGROUND RESOURCES AND MASTER PLAN IN HELSINKI ILKKA VÄHÄAHO City of Helsinki, Real Estate Department, Geotechnical Division, P.O. Box 2202, FI-00099, Finland. E-mail: [email protected] Underground resources play an extremely important and central role in the development of the city structure of Helsinki and the adjoining areas, helping to create a more unified and eco-efficient structure. Underground planning enhances the overall economy efficiency of facilities located underground and boosts the safety of these facilities and their use. Since the 1960s, the City of Helsinki has been adept at widely utilizing the opportunities for underground construction. More than 400 premises and over 200 km of technical maintenance tunnels have already been built underground. Demand for underground space in the central city area has grown rapidly since the turn of the 21st century and at the same time the need to control construction work has increased substantially. The main focus of this paper is on sustainability issues related to urban underground space use, including contribution to an environmentally sustainable and aesthetically acceptable landscape, anticipated structural longevity, and maintaining the opportunity for urban development by future generations. The Underground Master Plan of Helsinki reserves designated space for public and private utilities in various underground areas of bedrock over the long term. The Master Plan also provides the framework for managing and controlling the city’s underground construction work, and allows suitable locations to be allocated for underground facilities. When selecting future underground resources, the survey for the Helsinki Underground Master Plan took into account their accessibility; the present and planned ground-level uses of these areas; traffic connections; land ownership; and possible recreational, landscape and environmental protection values.

Dzjaba) competed in all kinds of swimming (free style, bracelet, butterfly, relay swimming) and showed sports The results of which were at the level with athletes of the Ukrainian people's republic.

A t 18 they come of age and no longer need permission from their parents to sign legal documents. 2 A s in South Africa, the type of birthday presents you select for close friends depends on their interests or hobbies. Russians prefer to have presents which they can keep to remind them of their friends and parties. Providing the food is usually the duty of the host at a party. They will not understand if you bring home-made salads, cakes or deserts. 3 Friends are not usually allowed to see a newborn baby for at least 14 days. This protects the baby from unexpected illness. W hen you visit Russians on these occasions it will be appreciated if you bring presents such as children's clothes, bedding or toys. 1 In Russia, as in South Africa, there are different options for a wedding ceremony: • in a church • by a magistrate (official and mandatory). The first marriage usually takes place at the Palace of Marriage. A wedding is a solemn, public occasion. 2 The Russian bride usually wears a gown and veil, and has the accoutrements of a church wedding. 3 A bachelor party and a kitchen tea which have been arranged by the bride and bridegroom are not obligatory. 4 Presents are given to the newlyweds at the wedding party. 5 A t a wedding party, which is usually quite a charming table ceremony with a large list of guests (naturally, this depends on the financial standing of the families), after a toast traditionally guests shout' Q o r'k o f (The wine tastes bitter!) and the newlyweds have to kiss each other to 'make the wine sweet'.

  • Marianna Uutinen Cv
    L A R S B O H M A N G A L L E R Y Marianna Uutinen Marianna Uutinen has made acrylic works of collage type for over ten years, using them to create a markedly unique idiom. But despite visual and material abundance, Uutinen has always approached her themes and subjects with moderation - thematically her works do not underline things nor do they give the viewer ready-made interpretations. Uutinen says that in the early stages of her career she explicitly tried to find a material that would in a way depict itself and be self-reflective. Through an emphasis on the construction of the work and its materiality, Uutinen’s art approaches what underlies it in our present age. Each brushstroke or mark always means something - there is no such thing as a pure sign. Marianna Uutinen’s works also operate on this principle, as a social sign of surrounding reality. CV Born 1961 in Pieksemäki, Finland. Lives and works in Helsinki. Marianna Uutinen is currently professor at the Art Academy in Helsinki. EDUCATION 1991-92 Institute des Hautes Etudes en Arts Plastiques, Paris, France 1980-85 The School of Fine Arts Academy of Finland, Helsinki, Finland SELECTED SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2013 Salon Dahlman, Berlin, Germany (together with Anselm Reyle) Carlier-Gebauer, Berlin, Germany Galerie Forsblom, Helsinki, Finland 2012 Lars Bohman Gallery, Stockholm, Sweden 2011 Galerie Forsblom, Helsinki, Finland 2010 Lars Bohman Gallery, Stockholm, Sweden Kalhama-Piippo Contemporary, Helsinki, Finland Vanha Pappila , Pieksämäki, Finland Kouvolan Taidemuseo,Kouvola (Kouvola
