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.
