TEAM POINT OF VIEW — DYNAMO builds links between University,
Technology village, Kaijonharju centre and two lakes. The Boulevard is a new entrance to the area for public transportation, bicycles and pedestrians. DYNAMO creates clear routes and interesting public spaces. The distinguishing pine trees give character to the courtyards and green zones. The architecture is inspired by the red brick Kaijonharju and industrial and colourful University, and mixing these in a fresh way! Existing buildings give a historical layer. DYNAMO has a digital platform. With the platform, the residents, the University and local services can communicate and create new innovations for production. The innovative block is a physical place for the locals and academics to meet and share ideas. DYNAMO is a dynamic area generating a feeling of constant innovation.

TEAM POINT OF VIEW — Productivity is not limited to financial-
oriented outcomes. Productivity determines social and economic interactions through adaptable processes: it is an open system, which can guarantee a constant interaction between a diverse and uncommon mix of activities. Focusing on public space and social interaction activates the development of an open system framework. The in-between space and infrastructure of the Forum is the proactive engine through which diverse relationships and a new urban structure are activated. The forum is a space for encounter, between the university productivity and the city daily activities, community and the surrounding nature, physical space and unforeseeable productive developments.
