Tiivistelmä
URBAN ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture cures major health problems by intervention on some specific points that interact with the complex system. Analogically, ‘point’ interventions can have an urban effect at the territorial level.
The main focus in my thesis is on enrichment of an urban and natural environment by simple means. They, like needles inserted in right points on the body in acupuncture practice, can lead to therapeutic effects.
These interventions come in response to the lack of identity and attractiveness which is characteristic for the majority of peripheral areas. My approach is on showing numerous possibilities of enriching places of common use - peripheral centres, green areas, fallows, traffic environment. Undeniable potential lies in these places. Appropriate rearranging of them would improve the quality of inhabitants’ living on different levels.
Bringing meaning and function into these spatially and socially uninteresting communal places - spaces ‘in between’ - will increase the attractiveness of the whole area and even the city. Method of using of slight interventions keeps a link to human size in the large scale plan. It leads towards creating local identity without noticeable expenditure from the city budget.
TRANSDISCIPLINAR DIALOGUE
In the project, I will examine a land use on a large scale (related to the strategy for Tampere urban region at 2030 and Tampere city general plan) as well as a small scale potential progress.
There should be transdisciplinarial dialogue in planning. The idea of changes should go through diverse scales’ solutions and points of view. Planning should be thought on many levels and scales simultaneously. Diverse scales’ visions are tools for their mutual realizing.
ADOPTION OF A NEW IDENTITY
Unifying and improving quality of existing peripheral centres (in Kaukajärvi, Linnainmaa and Janka) as well as a possible development of a new district (in Hankkio) became the focus of my interest.
I tried to find diverse solutions for districts which lead to transformation into meaningful parts of the city. I aimed at creating a brand for every sub-centre.
I also presented proposals of qualitying places of potential common use, such as: activating new functions in industrial areas, improving aesthetics of traffic routes, adding the meaning into fallow lands. /Kir10
