Client Cireco Finland OY
Location Tampere, Finland
Year 2019
Status Concluded
The Circular City Blocks/NorthBank project has received a prestigious Green GOOD DESIGN® Award, 2020 for Green Urban Planning/Landscape Architecture, as awarded by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
The Circular City Blocks/NorthBank concept explores three options for a circular economy block. Three proposals were developed in collaboration with Cireco Finland and Evolving Symbiotic Cities (ESC). The proposals demonstrate a sustainable future in which architecture, infrastructure, and urban design come together to create an efficient city block that reduces energy and resource consumption and promotes social cohesion. All proposals feature buildings built for disassembly, flexible construction, innovative modular and recyclable materials, and commonality of functions that blurs the lines between public and private uses. An innovative approach to 24-hour economy, and system architecture improves the efficiency of spaces and energy consumption, ensuring the long-term sustainability and financial viability of the proposal.
