Very inspiring student work! #Stadtentwicklung #UrbanDevelopment #Städtebau #UrbanDesign #Architektur #Architecture
helsinkizurich’s Sevim recently led a compelling discussion on gender-sensitive planning and architecture in Bern. This crucial dialogue sheds light on a topic our diverse team has long been deeply engaged with across all our projects. #VereinLares #Gendergerecht #Gendersensible #GenderSensitiveDesign #InclusiveArchitecture #UrbanInclusion #GenderEquality #DesignForAll #GenderEquity #FeministUrbanism #DiverseSpaces #EquitableDesign #WomenInArchitecture #SocialJusticeDesign #AccessibleCities #IntersectionalDesign #EmpowermentThroughDesign #UrbanGenderGap #inclusivedesign #CradletoCradle
Last Wednesday, the Finnish Embassy in Bern and the Finnish Honorary Consulate in Zurich hosted a screening of the architectural film ‘AALTO’ by @VirpiSuutari at the beautiful RiffRaff-building by Peter Märkli in Zurich. To welcome the guests, Roland Züger, architect, editor-in-chief of @werkbauenundwohnen and lecturer at @ZHAW.archbau, and HZ’s Tommi as the Honorary Consul of Finland, discussed the work of the Aaltos in today’s architectural and personal context. The film took viewers into the fascinating world behind the globally renowned name Aalto. The highly intimate film shed light on the significance and role of Aalto’s two wives in the creative processes. It exemplified the humanistic approach to design of one of the most significant modern architects through key buildings and furniture pieces. We would like to thank guests for coming to this great evening, as well the @FinlandinSwitzerland for making this evening possible.
Our project, which was selected as the basis for the future development of the ‘Östliches Zentrum Jona’ in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland, can now be viewed in the exhibition in ‘Stadthaus’ in Rapperswil-Jona. HZ’s Tommi had the pleasure of presenting our in-depth study of the ‘Stadttorplatz’, the spatial and traffic situation of the square and the potential for urban densification. #SelectedProject #VisionaryDesign #CityCenterRevamp #WirOrt #WePlace #UrbanRenewal #SustainableDevelopment #UrbanDesignExcellence #LandscapeArchitecture #TrafficPlanning #MixedUseSpaces #Densification #InnovativeDesign #ZurichArchitects #HelsinkiZurichCollab #BöeLandschaftsarchitektur #Rombo #RapperswilJona #SwissQuality

We take a look at the Manegg district.” and then discusses with representatives of the business community and developers, as well as our colleague Sevim as an architect and resident, whether the Manegg neighborhood is really the high-quality living space that was desired at the start of planning over ten years ago. #paneldiscussion #openhousezurich #manegg
