Green Areas Urban Space by Artists’ Association MUU Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Helsinki city centre Helsinki, Finland 2005 The Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier stated that houses should be
built in parks. The town plans he designed formed the basis for the
idea of park-like living environments. These types of areas were also
built in Finland in the 1960s, as exemplified by the Maunula area in
Helsinki. The idea of green areas around housing flats survived; however,
these areas gradually became smaller as the demands for building efficiency
increased. In my work, Green Areas, I represent the evolution of Maunula’s
green areas. Metsäpurontie 9 was built in the 1970s and Mannerheimintie
172 in the neighboring Ruskeasuo area was built towards the end of the
1980s. |
