The panel for the international Kirjava satama Ideas Competition unanimously decided to give four awards among the 201 entries with balanced overall solutions that were suitable to the cityscape; the entries also had especially interesting ideas for the development of different sections. Innovation and ideas were valued higher than the flawlessness of details. There was no single entry that would have attained all the goals of the competition in a way that was clearly superior. The entries Boegbeeld, Meren syleily, Stadi terassi and Tori received an award in the competition for the south harbour. More images and information on the winners after the break.
The entries contain many elements that can be used to renew the South Harbour during the next few decades. The competition area is one of the places in Helsinki that arouses the most intense interest, which is why it is good to allow some of the ideas to mature, says the panel’s Chair, Deputy Mayor Hannu Penttilä.
