Comment le site peut-il contribuer à la ville adaptable ? (en anglais)

The northern part of Kortepohja has been listed by DOCOMOMO as one of the nationally significant modern architectural environments in Finland. The city plan from 1966 was designed by Bengt Lundsten based on a competition winning entry and the area has maintained its original characters until today. The project area to the South is not as coherent as the North, though it follows the same principles: white geometric buildings, large courtyards and green areas between the buildings, car free connections and long internal axis. The objective of the competition is to study how to densify the southern part by reducing the oversized parking areas, without losing the original characteristics and values of the area. And how to develop Kortepohja to be a vital city district with a more diverse mix of uses.
