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
