Helsinki Töölönlahti Park International Competition

Arrival in the city of Helsinki becomes an experience, so does traversing the new park itself. The elements of the landscape gain force in sequence: rock, water, field, woods. Through out of the birchwoods, one encounters a wide field where lines of the ground orient our movements and thoughts toward actuality and history of the Helsinki landscape. City horizon is gathered into the park. Perspectives which give rhythm to the field look forward to the wintertime, when the shore disappears and its dimension extends. The field, empty and simple as pure sculpture, is open to new inventions and interventions by the city dwellers.
