Kamppi Chapel of Silence in Finnish Media Kamppi Chapel of Silence in Finnish Media Soili Ahoinpelto Bachelor’s Thesis Degree Programme for Multilingual Management Assistants 2013 Abstract 28 May 2013 Degree Programme for Multilingual Management Assistants Author Group or year of Soili Ahoinpelto entry 2009 Title of thesis Number of pages Kamppi Chapel of Silence in Finnish Media and attachment pages 42 + 5 Supervisor Mark Badham Kamppi Chapel of Silence is an Evangelical Lutheran chapel situated in Helsinki, in Narinkka Square. It was opened to the public in 2012 and is operated by various Helsin- ki parishes and the Social Services Department of the City of Helsinki. This thesis anal- yses the media reaction evoked by a spiritual building being created in the heart of a commercial city centre. The objective of this thesis is to examine the media attention focused on this chapel, and to determine how relevant information regarding this was communicated to the public by the parties involved in the chapel’s creation. This is researched empirically, based on media monitoring conducted by Helsinki Parish Union between August 2011 and July 2012. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods are used. In addition to the empirical research, theories on communication and the media are utilised in the theoretical framework. How do the media work? Do they really influence us? If so, how? Can media influence be utilised in communicating one’s own messages to the public? The research shows that the media attention focused on the chapel followed the Parish Union and Social Services’ common communication plan. Most of the core messages outlined in the plan were clearly portrayed in the media during the monitoring period. Some themes got more attention than others, which formed a basis for further analysis.

It was opened to the public on 1 June 2012 as part of the World Design Capital Helsinki programme. The Chapel was designed by Kimmo Lintula, Niko Sirola and Mikko Summanen of K2S Architects Ltd. The Chapel is operated by Helsinki par- ishes and the Social Services Department of the City of Helsinki. It is meant to be a place of silence in the crowded city centre but also a place for meeting people. Helsinki Parish Union, Helsinki Social Services and the World Design Capital team all collaborated in making the Chapel project known to the public, and as a result, the Chapel received a vast amount of media attention all over the world. The target audiences for the Chapel’s communication process were originally not strictly determined. The Chapel was considered to be a pioneering project due to the new cooperation between the Parish Union and the Social Services, and it was not known what kinds of people it would attract. However, it was thought that those inter- ested in architecture, silence and a moment’s rest, people in search of help and young- sters spending time around the shopping centre could be potential target audiences. The Chapel’s messages were directed to as broad audiences as possible to enable peo- ple to decide for themselves whether the Chapel would be something they could bene- fit from. The core messages to be communicated to the

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.

    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.
