Inside Helsinki's high tech new library building
(5 Dec 2018) LEADIN
Finland is celebrating the country's birthday with the opening of a new state of the art library in Helsinki.
The new public space has more than just books, featuring 3D printers, recording studios, cinemas and other leisure facilities that are all free for the public to use.
STORYLINE
The sweeping design of Helsinki's new multi-million dollar library building in the new Citizens' Square.
Called Oodi, the large glass structure offers some of the best views over the city.
It will be the centrepiece of a new public square which is still under construction.
The designers wanted to create a multi-purpose space in the heart of the city, like a neighbourhood centre, where people can just hang out and spend time doing something constructive.
The main designer from the ALA Architects studio team, Antti Nousjoki says: A lot of people in Helsinki are working freelance style or fragmented jobs, and we all have several times a week, an extra two hours to kill in the city centre, so instead of just going to the shopping mall or a coffee shop, there was this idea of building a shared non commercial space.
As well as thousands of books, there are also various spaces that visitors are free to use.
So the Oodi library is organized in three different levels. So what we basically done with the architectural concept of the building is to take the public space catalogue, that citizens wanted, and then define three different levels in the city centre which all have very different contacts with the urban heart of Helsinki, says Nousjoki.
He adds: The upper most floor where we are now, is a kind of open landscape of the library, which is kind of floating above the city, so we are little bit removed from the noise of the street, the traffic, the people passing by and peeking in and just happening to visit the building. This is more quiet space for contemplation, for reading, for thinking, for intellectual activities. Maybe more for individual activities.
There are facilities available for sewing, 3D printing, reading, meeting and even recording studios and a cinema.
Oodi librarian and information specialist, Ulla Leinikka says: Public libraries (in Finland) have, from the very beginning, been places where people can go to develop themselves, to study, to read, to get books. And the same basic task they have even today. Also, very important is matter of life long learning and equality, so people can come to libraries to get different skills, not only reading books, but also learning to use different equipment, to use computers for example, 3D printers, UV printers, all kinds of different equipment.
The library opened to the public on Wednesday (5 Dec) ahead of Finland's Independence day on Thursday.

Kiasma Modern Art Museum in sunset ,Helsinki Finland 2011, Museum exterior, Kiasma Modern Art Museum exterior in sunset , Helsinki Finland 2011. Kiasma (built 1993--1998) is a contemporary art museum located on Mannerheimintie in Helsinki, Finland. Its name kiasma, Finnish for chiasma, alludes to the basic conceptual idea of its architect, Steven Holl. The museum exhibits the contemporary art collection of the Finnish National Gallery founded in 1990. Its central goal is to make contemporary art better known and strengthen its status.An architectural design competition to design a contemporary arts museum in Helsinki was held in 1992. The competition was meant for architects from the Nordic and Baltic countries. Five internationally renowned architects participated among whom there was only one US citizen. In 1993 the work Chiasma by the American architect Steven Holl was selected from the 516 competitors. The construction of the disputed and controversial Kiasma was started in 1996. It was opened in 1998.

멀어지는 헬싱키 시내를 뒤로하고 발트 해의 매서운 겨울바람을 한껏 맞았다. 15분 정도 지났을 때, 멀리 수오멘리나 요새의 윤곽이 드러난다. 헬싱키가 건설되기 훨씬 이전에 만들어진 수오멘리나 요새.- 6개의 섬을 연결해 건설된 요새는 과거 핀란드인들을 위한 것이 아니었다. 핀란드가 스웨덴령이었던 18세기 초, 발트 해의 패권을 둘러싼 전쟁이 발발했고, 당시 핀란드를 지배했던 스웨덴은 러시아를 견제하기 위해 이곳에 요새를 지었다. 하지만 요새는 결국 러시아에 함락되고 만다. 스웨덴이 건설해, 19세기엔 러시아군의 주둔지였던 요새는 독립 후에야 핀란드에 귀속된다. 요새란 의미의 스웨덴어 이름에서, ‘무장해제’란 의미의 핀란드어 수오멘리나를 새 이름으로 받은 곳,- 전쟁의 역사를 뒤로하고 평화의 시대, 이제는 문화유산과 예술센터로서의 역할을 하고 있다.

Pimiö - Darkroom exhibition - Photography Museum Helsinki
PIMIÖ – DARKROOM
20 AUGUST, 2015 – 31 JANUARY, 2016
This autumn’s main exhibition at the Finnish Museum of Photography revives the original miracle of photography. The exhibition Pimiö – Darkroom enables visitors to immerse themselves in the fascinating reality of the darkroom – experientially, through all their senses.
Works by more than 60 photographers, spanning from the 19th century to 2015, demonstrate the changing ideals of photographic printing and the versatility of the techniques. The exhibition highlights materials, craft, different techniques, and the irreplaceability of darkrooms for various uses even today. At the same time, it demonstrates how the miracle of the photograph is produced in darkrooms and how photographic artists have created their own printing styles.
In the exhibition, artists and enthusiasts lead viewers on a journey to working in the darkroom. The exhibition darkroom, films, stories, darkroom equipment and prints from the 19th century to 2015, invite viewers to look, touch, and listen.
Automation and digitalism are replacing materiality, but at the same time digitalism has lost its novelty appeal. This means that many young art photographers have returned to the darkroom, doing things by hand, and using a process in which the end result is not immediately visible, but requires making a number of choices.
In addition to prints by darkroom wizards such as Pentti Sammallahti, Ulla Jokisalo, Matti Saanio and Martti Jämsä, works will be shown by younger photographers, including tintype portraits of skateboarders by Jaakko Markkanen, tender cyanotypes by Ida Taavitsainen and bright chromogenic color prints by Tuukka Kaila. The exhibition includes photographs from the collections of the Finnish Museum of Photography by over 60 artists.
Darkroom is nostalgia, the present day and the future. The exhibition challenges viewers to think about the role of manual work in today's digital world.

“Tikku ('stick') can be built in one night. It takes a stand for the urban planning of the future: as cities grow denser, there is a need to find more agile ways of building and spatial solutions. In an insightful way, Tikku demonstrates the development of cities and a future vision of combining different spaces. A dense urban structure that combines different purposes offers new opportunities for developing communality and brings life to cities when buildings can also be used outside of office hours. A micro apartment building also sets for us an example of a future, says Anita Riikonen, Marketing and Brand Manager at Sponda.

I visited the museum at Helsinki Day, 12th June 2014. It was full of people, most children families. I was not easy to take video/photos due to other visitors, virtues made reflection for the camera and the time of my visit was short, I had less than 1 hour to see - the museum was closing at 6pm and I came there after 5pm.

MFA Friday Clip: Finnish Architecture. Review 2018 - Hiirenporras and Kissankita Housing Block
Hiirenporras and Kissankita Housing Block by Anttinen Oiva Architects.
This rather large housing scheme by Anttinen Oiva Architects is an interesting intervention and rehabilitation of a former industrial area near downtown Helsinki. This particular building contains housing, but also some space for commercial, office or studio facilities. Towards the street the building is composed of a 3-story pedestal with a portico façade in brick and five apartment blocks rising from the base. The back façade is facing the old workshops with four semi-public U-shaped courtyards on the first-floor level.
The apartment blocks are built around a central core containing the staircase with floors distributed into three to four apartments in a radial system. The apartments vary in size and benefit from the façades where 90-degree angles are absent, providing daylight, natural ventilation and windows facing multiple directions.
” The jury compliments the solid brick work in the pedestal, the language of the openings and the duality of the two vertical layers clad with different materials. The raised courtyards are interesting because of the outdoor areas they offer, and the visual connection to the future park in front of them.” –Jury, Finnish Architecture. Review 2018
フィンランド????????ヘルシンキの旅 #4 / スオメンリンナ島を散策・スオメンリンナの要塞 / Helsinki Finland Travel #4

HAMROC Japan & World Trip + Camera Channel
- Wikipedia -
スオメンリンナの要塞は、フィンランドの首都ヘルシンキ市内の6つの島の上に建造された海防要塞。ユネスコの世界遺産に登録されており、観光客のみでなく、地元民にとっても、美しい行楽地として人気がある。当初の名前はスヴェアボリ（Sveaborg, スウェーデンの要塞）だったが、1918年に愛国主義的な理由からスオメンリンナ（スオミの城塞）と改称された。これは、星型要塞の一例である。1748年にスウェーデン＝フィンランドはロシア帝国に対する守りを目的として要塞の建造に着手した。総責任者に任命されたのは、Augustin Ehrensvärdであり、その当初案には当代きっての築城の名手ヴォーバンの思想の強い影響が見られた。島の要塞自体に加えて、本土の臨海要塞群が足がかりとなる海岸堡を築けないようにしていた。また、計画には駐留スウェーデン海軍とフィンランド分遣隊全体の軍需品の備蓄も盛り込まれていた。フィンランド戦争中の1808年5月3日に要塞はロシア軍に占領され、1809年のロシア軍によるフィンランド占領の足がかりとなった。この時には実害がほとんどなかったが、1855年のクリミア戦争のときには、イギリス海軍とフランス海軍による艦隊の艦砲射撃で損害を被った。1973年には民政下に置かれ、1991年に世界遺産に登録された。
Suomenlinna (Finnish) or Sveaborg (Swedish), until 1918 Viapori (Finnish), is an inhabited sea fortress built on six islands (Kustaanmiekka, Susisaari, Iso-Mustasaari, Pikku-Mustasaari, Länsi-Mustasaari and Långören) and which now forms part of the city of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World Heritage site and popular with tourists and locals, who enjoy it as a picturesque picnic site. Originally named Sveaborg (Fortress of Svea), or Viapori as called by Finnish-speaking Finns, it was renamed Suomenlinna (Castle of Finland) in 1918 for patriotic and nationalistic reasons, though it is sometimes known by its original name. The Swedish crown commenced the construction of the fortress in 1748 as protection against Russian expansionism. The general responsibility for the fortification work was given to Augustin Ehrensvärd. The original plan of the bastion fortress was strongly influenced by the ideas of Vauban, the foremost military engineer of the time, and the principles of star fort style of fortification, albeit adapted to a group of rocky islands. In addition to the island fortress itself, seafacing fortifications on the mainland would ensure that an enemy would not acquire a beach-head from which to stage attacks. The plan was also to stock munitions for the whole Finnish contingent of the Swedish Army and Royal Swedish Navy there. In the Finnish War the fortress surrendered to Russia on May 3, 1808, paving the way for the occupation of Finland by Russian forces in 1809.
