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.

  • 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.

  • Kamppi Chapel of Silence»
    Unison with Oneself in God at the Sacred «Kamppi Chapel of Silence» Encontrarse con uno mismo y con Dios en la «Kamppi Chapel of Silence» Hee Sook Lee-Niinioja · Oxford Brookes University (Reino Unido) https://doi.org/10.17979/aarc.2013.3.0.5107 RESUMEN En 2012, como parte del programa World Design Capital, se inauguró en Helsinki la Kamppi Chapel of Silence, con el fin de pro- porcional a los ciudadanos un momento de silencio, relax y encuentro en el área más concurrida de la ciudad: la entrada del centro comercial Kamppi. A partir de estos hechos nos podríamos preguntar: ¿Cual era el objetivo real de todo esto? ¿El resul- tado de los deseos ciudadanos de estar con Dios, sin ser molestados por los turistas? ¿Tal vez una estrategia para atraer a más cristianos en una sociedad multirreligiosa? ¿Una nueva modalidad de caridad luterana al servicio de las necesidades de la gente? Mi comunicación analiza las relaciones entre las formas arquitectónicas y las emociones en los espacios sagrados, a través de varias iglesias finlandesas históricas. ABSTRACT In 2012, as part of World Design Capital program, Kamppi Chapel of Silence was inaugurated at the entrance of Kamppi shop- ping centre in Helsinki, providing a place for citizen’s moment of silence, relax and meeting in the busiest area. These facts raise questions: What was the real aim behind this? Is this the result of citizens’ wishes to be with God, undisturbed by tou- rists? A strategy for attracting more Christians in multi-religious society? A new way of Lutheran charity in service to needy people? My paper analyses relationship between architectural forms and emotions in sacred spaces through historical Finnish churches.

    Japanese Secular Pilgrimage Tourists in Finland Ikeuchi-Peltonen, Shizuka 2015 Kerava Laurea University of Applied Sciences Kerava Japanese Secular Pilgrimage Tourists in Finland Shizuka Ikeuchi-Peltonen Degree Programme in Tourism Bachelor’s Thesis 05, 2015 Laurea University of Applied Sciences Abstract Kerava Bachelor Degree Programme in Tourism Shizuka Ikeuchi-Peltonen Japanese Secular Pilgrimage Tourists in Finland Year 2015 Pages 51 The tour patterns of Japanese tourists coming to Finland are changing from traditionally col- lective ones towards more individualistic direction, because the tourists can obtain infor- mation themselves and decide the destinations themselves relating to their own interests thanks to digitalization and network. Some of them are enthusiastic to visit several places related to the specific cultural contents they are interested in, such as film, music, design, architecture and nature, in the form of “secular pilgrimage tour”. In the primary research, the task is to find an answer to the following question: “what kind of secular pilgrimages are made by Japanese tourists in Finland?” The research starts with quan- titative analyzing of the travel stories available on websites to find out some tour patterns. It shows the major places/attractions relating to the interests of the tourists. At the same time, it also shows minor destinations of niche demand. In the second part of the research, one-on-one interviews are conducted with four of the tourists who have made a secular pilgrimage tour and one tour coordinator in Finland. The data from these interviews add richer description to the result of the primary research, draw- ing clearer picture of the tourists’ true feelings and more characteristics to the primary anal- ysis of the destinations.
