    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.

The evaluation results are then used to proposals suggested by citizens. For this process, the city has develop a broader evaluation framework with guidelines for how to developed a design game, the OmaStadi game, to facilitate these plan, implement, and analyse further evaluation of the OmaStadi proposals.

Kulosaarta voidaan pitää Helsingin itäsuunnan ensimmäisenä toteutuneena esikaupunkina ja yksityisesti rakennettua raitiotietä nykyisen metron esi-isänä. Kulosaaren Raitiotieyhtiön perusti maanomistusyhtiö tietäen, että tontit myyvät paremmin kun on olemassa hyvät kulkuyhteydet kaupunkiin. Yksityinen yhtiö oli 1910-luvun alussa luonnollinen, sillä Helsingin Raitiotieyhtiökin oli tuolloin yksityisten ihmisten hallinnassa. Kaksikymmentäluvun loppupuolella Kulosaaren liikennöinti katsottiin kuitenkin parhaimmaksi myydä siihen aikaan laajentumishaluiselle puolikunnalliseksi muuttuneelle Helsingin Raitiotieyhtiölle. Raitiovaunut jatkoivat kulkuaan pieniä katkoksia lukuunottamatta viimeiseen liikennöintivuoteen 1951 saakka. Lopettaminen johtui vanhan ja kapean puurakenteisen Kulosaarensillan heikkokuntoisuudesta. Kun uusi silta valmistui, siinä oli kaistavaraukset itä-Helsingin pikaraitiotielle, jota ei kuitenkaan koskaan tehty. Haluttiin saada jotain suurkaupunkimaisempaa eli metro.

Henrik Möller Acoustical measurements were made in twenty churches in the Helsinki area, and their acoustical properties were compared to each other. The churches varied in size from small village churches to large cathedrals, were built between the 1470’s and 2005, and were built of stone, tile or wood. The churches were measured following the ISO 3382 standard. The results showed no clear distinctions between churches of different ages. The average reverberation time was longer than what is recommended for concert halls, with a small correlation to the volume of the church. The results of the modern churches were varying for all measured parameters, with no apparent correlation to the materials, sizes or ages of the churches. The average STI of 0.5 for all measured churches indicates that sound systems are needed in churches for the speech intelligibility to improve in the otherwise reverberant space.

    Master's Thesis Regional Studies Urban Geography NEW-BUILD GENTRIFICATION IN HELSINKI Anna Kajosaari 2015 Supervisor: Michael Gentile UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI FACULTY OF SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF GEOSCIENCES AND GEOGRAPHY GEOGRAPHY PL 64 (Gustaf Hällströmin katu 2) 00014 Helsingin yliopisto Faculty Department Faculty of Science Department of Geosciences and Geography Author Anna Kajosaari Title New-build gentrification in Helsinki Subject Regional Studies Level Month and year Number of pages (including appendices) Master's thesis December 2015 126 pages Abstract This master's thesis discusses the applicability of the concept of new-build gentrification in the context of Helsinki. The aim is to offer new ways to structure the framework of socio-economic change in Helsinki through this theoretical perspective and to explore the suitability of the concept of new-build gentrification in a context where the construction of new housing is under strict municipal regulations. The conceptual understanding of gentrification has expanded since the term's coinage, and has been enlarged to encompass a variety of new actors, causalities and both physical and social outcomes. New-build gentrification on its behalf is one of the manifestations of the current, third-wave gentrification. Over the upcoming years Helsinki is expected to face growth varying from moderate to rapid increase of the population. The last decade has been characterized by the planning of extensive residential areas in the immediate vicinity of the Helsinki CBD and the seaside due to the relocation of inner city cargo shipping. Accompanied with characteristics of local housing policy and existing housing stock, these developments form the framework where the prerequisites for the existence of new-build gentrification are discussed.
