KRUUNUSILLAT International Design Competition a Brief Outline of the Competition 20.2.2013 Kruunusillat
KRUUNUSILLAT INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION A BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE COMPETITION 20.2.2013 KRUUNUSILLAT • Kruunusillat is a traffic connection currently being designed for linking maritime Kruunuhaka and the future island district of Kruunuvuorenranta. • The competition area is situated between Kalasatama and Kruunuvuorenranta. • Kruunusillat is meant for trams, cyclists and pedestrians. • The bridge connection would significantly shorten the distance between Helsinki city centre and Kruunuvuorenranta. • The competition will be held to ascertain what kinds of options exist. • As a result of the competition, information will be obtained for assessing the traffic connection’s environmental impact. • The competition is international because we want the world’s top experts for this challenging task. • The connection will be situated in the middle of a national landscape. The bridge connection must be of high aesthetic quality and should be appropriate for the landscape and natural environment. • The design has to be safe in all weather conditions and it must enable a free, unobstructed flow of traffic. The City of Helsinki wants to favour sustainable forms of traffic, such as rail transport, and improve the standard of service of public transport. The bridge connection proposal meets this requirement. The bridge connection would also enhance provisions for pedestrian traffic and cycling. 2 KRUUNUSILLAT International design competition The City of Helsinki will hold an international design competition for Kruunusillat. The aim is to attract the world’s best bridge experts here to design the new tram, cycle and pedestrian connection between centrally located Kalasatama and Laajasalo’s Kruunuvuorenranta. The bridge connection would be made up of at least two bridges, the longest of which could be, at nearly 1.2 kilometres, the longest in Finland.

Liite 2: Tutkimusyhteenveto
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. Tämä ohella ensisijaisen tärkeää ovat myös mahdollisuudet ottaa kaupunki haltuun ja hyödyntää sen monipuolisuutta. Kuudes Kerros Nuoret ja Helsinki (TNS

Aalto University ELEC-E8002 & ELEC-E8003 Project work course Year 2017 Project plan Project #12 Case Korkeasaari Date: 26.1.2017 Janne Lappi Mikko Poranen Laura Syvänne Ville Kärnä Miro Rosenström Information page Students Janne Lappi Mikko Poranen Laura Syvänne Ville Kärnä Miro Rosenström Project manager Janne Lappi Official Instructor Jaakko Ketomäki Other advisors Jari Viinanen Petteri Huuska Marjo Priha Starting date 5.1.2017 Approval The Instructor has accepted the final version of this document Date: 25.1.2017 1. Background City of Helsinki has a mission to be carbon neutral in 2050. There’s a half a million visitors in Korkeasaari Zoo every year. Hence Korkeasaari has a lot of visibility and a great chance to be the trailblazer and advisor when Helsinki is reaching towards carbon neutrality. The Zoo would set an example and educate visitors and corporations to act in an environmentally friendly manner. Carbon neutral Korkeasaari will improve the whole image of Helsinki and Finland. Environmental friendliness will again make the Zoo more fascinating and stimulating, which has a positive impact on visitor satisfaction. With smart actions it is possible to decrease energy consumption and thereby decrease costs of energy in Korkeasaari. Previous energy review for Korkeasaari was done in 1998. In 2016 Korkeasaari and the city of Helsinki began planning new energy vision for the zoo. New strategy is to transform Korkeasaari carbon neutral by 2025. Buildings and structures of the zoo are old and thereby neither in good condition nor energy efficient. Korkeasaari forms also a significant part of the electricity consumption of Helsinki.
