Nomaji wants to promote research based practice. Our goal is to share our expertise and knowledge as efficiently as possible within the office and with our partners. That is why we have started to organize science afternoons. The science afternoons are open and free events.
The central theme of our anniversary year is child-friendliness – we want to highlight how the landscape can invite play, inspire exploration, and provide a safe space for growth. When cities are developed sustainably with children’s needs in mind, they not only create vibrant communities but also competitive projects that people enjoy and that stand the test of time.
The second science morning of the anniversary year, on May 21, focuses on environments specifically designed for children: spaces that support play, growth, and inclusion.
The webinar’s international guest, Emma Simonsson (Urbio, Stockholm), is a landscape architect and developer of the lekotoper concept. She will showcase how imaginative, nature-based play environments can offer a rich and engaging alternative to traditional playgrounds.
In Nomaji’s presentation, the Alku method will be introduced—a child-friendly design approach that incorporates children’s perspectives, experiences, and participation right from the early stages of the planning process. The method supports the development of environments that serve both children and the wider community now and in the future.
Join the event either in person at our office (Meritullinkatu 11 D) or via Teams. Breakfast will be served at the office starting at 8:30 AM. Please remember to register for the event.
Welcome!
