Erläuterungstext
Our proposal aims at reconnecting the city to the water, making the coastline accessible
and transforming the area from a mono-functional car and transport zone to a multifunctional, attractive, diverse and active urban waterfront.
We propose a reorganization and optimization of the existing harbour functions combined
with a new layer of urban space; a continuous landscape allowing for new functions, activities and city life to be established in the area.
The area is divided into a sequence of spaces, each with different characters, functions
and designs; more green on the west side and more urban on the east side, all connected
through a first class network of paths for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Beurteilung durch das Preisgericht
At the level of an urban structure diagram, the proposal contains premises with potential for further development. Free-form spacious building groups have been brought to the Katajanokka shoreline, behind which the old building front is visible and between which sea views open up from the interior of Katajanokka. On the west side of the South Harbour Tähtitorninvuori park has been continued as a deck structure all the way to the shoreline
quayside. The proposal, which in its details has been well researched, would however require a lot of further development.Placing trees arbitrarily on the Market Square is alien
to its history and location, as is the reshaping of the shoreline quayside at its east end.
A new museum building at the west end of the Katajanokka shoreline has in the proposal received a rather disjointed form. Due to its height, the building would diminish the existing valuable and sensitive urban view. New free-form blocks on the Katajanokka shoreline have as a premise potential for further development but are in the presented form chaotic.
The park deck and two-storey horizontal shoreline front at the foot of Tähtitorninvuori are have potential for further development, as does the idea of placing free-form pavilion-like buildings in the park. The park, however, has been shown very schematically. The historical park of Tähtitorninvuori could more clearly be preserved as its own individual totality. The old Laivasillankatu ends up being in a long tunnel.
