May 4: Viikki housing

A large part of Viikki is an eco-housing community comprising sustainably built/operated housing, which we took a stroll through.

Swale pond. By the vignetting of these photos, I infer that this was during my post-camera-lens-mechanism-damage, pre-knowing-exactly-how-to-get-around-it phase.

A varied material ensemble.

0200

"Ultramodern Flowerboxes" would be a good name for a synthpop band.

0203

Two ducks, do you see them?

0207

The long way out to the Barn.

0214

We were inextricably compelled toward the Dome.

0217

A big workshop building, maybe available for any resident to use, I forget the exact arrangement.

0221

Early spring garden beds.

0223

Buds budding, a welcome sight.

0226

Slats + a binocular peephole.

0238

Sitting lightly on the land.

0247

Tri-bridge across the stream, just like the one in Stockholm.

0249

Another bridge, this one designed by Juhani Pallasmaa.

0252

All kinds of arcs. — Edit 5/4/2020: also reminds of the structure of the Korkeasaari outlook tower.

0260

Nice porchness.

0268

There are lots of pedestrian paths throughout the area, which is quite pleasant.

PV party.
