2020 in review 10/10. Climate-conscious design and 2020 in review 10/10. Climate-conscious design and planning.
 
In the final post of our 2020 review, we provide a sneak peek to some of the projects that are focusing on visioning and guiding climate-conscious solutions for the future. Last year we were also proud to be one of the founding signatories of the Architect’s Declaration of Finland, a climate and biodiversity emergency declaration signed by offices and design studios globally. Currently we are working on Nomaji’s own responsible design guide that will define even more ambitious and clear goals for our work. Our aim is to advance these goals in close collaboration with our collaborators and clients.
 
Projects in order:
 
🌊Climate-proof vision for Keilaniemi shore area, Espoo
 💚The Riihimäki Station Area local reference plan, Vantaanjoki revitalization (with Jolma, TUPA and LSV Architects)
💦Landscape Concept for the Junatie area in Helsinki
🌧️Climate-conscious design guidelines (RT-kortit)

2020 in review 9/10. Nature gets crowded. While m 2020 in review 9/10. Nature gets crowded.

While most out-of-home leisure activities were restricted because of the pandemic, the use of outdoor greenspace was still allowed. The number of visitors in Lammassaari nature trails increased by 45% in 2020.

Other exceptional things happened in the area as well; at the beginning of the year 2020 a white-tailed eagle couple established their nest close by. It was a unique occurrence, as there are no records of the species ever nesting in such an urban environment in neither Finland nor the rest of Europe. The eagles even got three chicks in May. 

Lammassaari nature trail was selected in Finland’s biennial architectural review 2020. At the end of the year, Lammassaari was also awarded an Accessibility Recognition of 2020.

2020 in review 7/10. New website. One of the big 2020 in review 7/10. New website.

One of the big efforts in 2020 was the publication of our new website. The new site represents well us and our approaches to landscape design, urban design, and urban planning. The animated illustrations by @pauliinaholma_ visualise in a delightful way those processes and elements we are dealing with in our work. There are also many of our works introduced on the website, both in finnish and in english.
