HELENE S SCHJERFBECK, Art book published for the 150th anniversary of her birth (July 10, 1862 – January 23, 1946.) Donated by The Embassy of Finland ($500/$75/$25) Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck is one of Scandinavia’s most important and recognized artists. This book, the first monograph about the fascinating art of Schjerfbeck, details a comprehensive retrospective shown in Hamburg, The Hague, and Paris, for which more than120 of her works were brought together from over 40 international private and public collections. Schjerfbeck is most widely known for her realist works and self-portraits, less well known for her landscapes and still lifes. Her work changed dramatically throughout her long life. Her work starts with a dazzlingly skilled, somewhat melancholic version of late-19th-century academic realism…it ends with distilled, nearly abstract images in which pure paint and cryptic description are held in perfect balance. (Roberta Smith, New York Times, November 27th 1992) 19. Wagner Lovers Collection Donated by Betty Byrne ($80/$50/$10) Quo Vadis, Wagner? Approaching the Bicentennial (book) by Chairman Jim Holman of the Wagner Society of Washington DC, which has just published this collection of essays by distinguished Wagner analysts. The book examines Wagner's place in the 21st century from a number of different perspectives. Contributors include Leon Botstein, Barry Millington, Thomas Grey, Saul Lilienstein and a dozen others. The book is a significant contribution to Wagner studies as we approach the bicentennial of the composer's birth. Wagner The Mystic (book), by John J. Pohanka, Trustee and past Chairman of Washington National Opera and a founding member of the Wagner Society of Washington, D.C. This book presents an innovative and articulate survey of Richard Wagner's aesthetic and philosophical development, within the historical context of mysticism. Comprehensively documented both from the composer's own writing and a host of philosophers, poets, and musicians, the author sheds new light on the question of why Wagner's music affects us like no other. “Re-discovering Richard Wagner through his music” (4 CDs) Long awaited recording of Saul Liliestein’s All Day Seminar at the Goethe Institut on March 19, 2011. This magnificent set of Swul Lilienstein’s spirited discussion will entertain and sducare. You will never listen to Wagner’s music the same way again and you will get a new perspective of Lohengrin’s Wedding March that will enrich your pleasure forever. Did You Know… Like many of his contemporaries, Sibelius was initially enamored of the music of Wagner. A performance of Parsifal at the Bayreuth Festival had a strong effect on him, inspiring him to write to his wife shortly thereafter, "Nothing in the world has made such an impression on me, it moves the very strings of my heart." He studied the scores of Wagner's operas Tannhäuser, Lohengrin, and Die Walküre intently. With this music in mind, Sibelius began work on an opera of his own, entitled Veneen luominen (The Building of the Boat). ! ! 20.

  • 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.

    SRS: Kulosaaren Raitiotie 1 http://raitio.org/historia/kulosaar/sivu1.htm Yhdistys: etusivu The Society: Frontpage KULOSAAREN RAITIOTIE, sivu 1 teksti Toivo Niskanen Raitio 1 - 1995 kuvat ASEA:n Helsingin kaupunginarkiston ja kaupunginmuseon, Museoviraston, SRS:n sekä yksityiset arkistot Alku Seuraava sivu ulosaaren Raitiotie oli 1900-luvun alun tunnetuimpien kaupunginsuunnitteluarkkitehtien vastaus siihen, kuinka tarjota parasta mahdollista julkista liikennettä uuden malliyhdyskunnan ja pääkaupungin välillä. 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. Kulosaaren raitiovaunulautta saaren puoleisella lauttasillakkeella.

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.

  • NEW-BUILD GENTRIFICATION in HELSINKI Anna Kajosaari
    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.

  • 89 5 Analysing the Housing Markets of Helsinki and Finland with the SOM
    5 Analysing the housing markets of Helsinki and Finland with the SOM The discussion on locational value formation and value modelling methodology has highlighted the role of housing submarkets and the institutional and behavioural aspects of value formation. Segmentation is determined at the aggregate level by institutional and physical constraints and at the micro level by individual perceptions and behaviour. It was therefore asserted that nonlinear, discontinuous and qualitative aspects need to be recognised. It was shown that a variety of established empirical modelling tools failed to recognise residual determinants of locational value. The main aspects were: the tradeoff between model bias and exactness, capturing the fuzzy nature of the relationship between price and its various determinants, spatial and other dependence, and the context specificity of a given location in terms of its institutional and physical structure. In general, paying attention to these aspects adds depth to the analysis over and above straightforward estimation. In Chapter 4 one alternative, the SOM, was described as a flexible technique of analysing locational value formation. One of the particular strengths of the SOM in comparison with multiple regression analysis or MLP networks is that it allows for market segmentation. This method becomes more powerful when it is combined with the LVQ, another neural network technique. The LVQ enables the evaluation and improvement of - the feature maps obtained by the SOM analysis. The model generated by the neural network method is highly inductive and independent of any formal hypothesis building, letting the data determine the outcome, instead of depending on distributions, confidence intervals and so forth.
