curriculum vitae

milja hartikainen My perspective on architecture is to always look out for current challenges and to adapt my conception of the conventions of the field. My current interests are especially social resilience and public interest in urbanism with a focus on practical solutions in human scale. I feel that my biggest responsibility as an architect is to try to understand the multiple global conditions and to proactively contribute to the wellbeing of the people and the environment in a role of a communicator of new possibilities. My great passion is to improve my skills at that. I am a bit of an idealist, always looking for the positive side in situations or for ways to make things better, which, I think, is my force pushing me beyond the expected in projects. I am truly inspired by an environment rich with discussions and varying backgrounds. My best tools in project work are my strategic and system thinking, concept designing and undaunted determination to investigate and research promising conceptual ideas and theories. I confidently view complex concepts from different angles and produce as well concrete designs as representations of abstract processes.

personal interests My life long interests are music, dance, and painting, which I held on to since childhood. Nowadays I like to balance my everyday life with daily yoga and running. I love to explore the cultures of the world by train journeys and road trips or through enjoying books, movies, and food. I also have a passion for volunteering for good causes and interesting topics and enjoy dedicating my free time for new projects.

KNIT KIT

sustainable urban planning The project was developed as an alternative to the controversial vision of the redevelopment of Tempelhof airfield conducted by the City of Berlin. This proposal aims to create structures of contribution by engaging the inhabitants to the Development Process. The project methodology included analyzing local spatial situations in connection to local sustainable and smart innovations. This exercise created the basis for the sustainable plan based on local knowledge and resources. The main urban programmatic goal was to allow the natural spreading of central services and functions to the micro-community level in order to maintain the local activities and to build social responsibility, in contrast to the official plans. The Knit Kit introduces two main elements to the Spatial Structure of the masterplan; an Infrastructural Basegrid; a structure with a set of local sustainable solutions, and Building Kit; a collection of prefabricable modules with customizable multifunctional facilities for flexibility of program. The Spatial Structure is connected to an Open Virtual Platform, created to engage residents daily cycles and the overall development of the district. This concept aims at sustainability via a self-sufficient neighborhood with an optimized flow of the daily activities and connectedness of residents.

Knitter interaction game prototype was developed to support the socially enabling idea of the interactive Development Process with the aim to enable incorporation strategy practically engaging different stakeholders to this process. The task included designing physical game components and the reaching goals software. The prototype is a board game with interactive features, allowing easy approach interaction in a physical space and simultaneously visualizing digitally the effects of predefined planning elements. The goal is to show the complexity of the links between the planning elements to all the engaged parties and thereby enable informed discussion of long-term development based on the multiple sides and effects of different planning decisions.

Facade diagram

The facade system is applied on a standardised framework that is based on the horisontal dimensions of the plot division. There is fixed facade system for indoor bulding volumes and two different systems allowing a choise to closing or opening the circulation or the exterior parts of the plot.

Block Community concept and reltion to the development of spatial hierarchy

Example block and plot combinations

The example block illustrates that the spatial arrangement choises made by the Block Comunity with this typology result in a configuration that utilises the levelled patios and the connections of the patios between blocks as well as creates pathways through to the courtyard. These connections can be defined variedly open for public, the community or to be kept private. The vertical connections via the staircase can be opened or closed as well allowing different levels of public or common access to be created in different levels of the block, extending the usual public space to vertical dimension. character of space is indicted on the facade by the different facade systems. This aims to direct people to the accessible zones so open spaces are inviting and actively used.

Example floor plan, groundfloor

The arrangement of the example block showcases the differentiation of the character of the plots from open to private, that can be created by the choise of the typology application and facade element systems, by choise extending the street space or the courtyard. The ground material is also indicating the differentiations.

The main spatial concept to develop the site was to create a block typology with fragmental subdivision to smaller plots. This hierarchical base grid that bases its dimensions to the Berlin city grid, mimics the informal urban fabric of Jardim Colombo creating “situations” of spontaneously shared use of space and a variety of privacy, characteristic to the favela.

Facade system in case of open circulation with fence

Urban Village is a proposal for urban infill housing concept on an old Bötzow Brewery site in Berlin. The site’s transformation concept was based on a transfer of ideas from Jardim Colombo favela in Sao Paulo. The transfer of ideas was an outcome of an extensive research and analysis of the qualities of the favela from the spatial, programmatic and social point of view. This method aims to regard the complexity of current developments in cities, such as Berlin, by contrasting the dominant western urbanism and bringing new ideas from other contexts.

The hierarchial grid consists of main axis, small alleys and is the base for subdivided block typology with a courtyard. The blockstructure will serve as the basic condition for the application of the housing typology.

The subdivided grid creates a platform for equal blocks of 21x18m consisting of six equal 6x9m plots with a small courtyard in the middle. storage

HEIKKILÄ CITYCLE urban redevelopment

Heikkilä Citycle is an urban renewal plan for Heikkilä, a former military site on the waterfront of Turku. Based on the findings of a comprehensive analysis of the region, the team set out to develop the site as a pilot project for a sustainable district in the city of Turku. The design approach stemmed from an analog of the biology of stemcells repeatedly differentiating and renew their functions. Stemcell as the archetype and inspiration, the recycle centered development concept for Heikkilä contrasts the consuming based urban development and promotes sustainability by creating a selfsustaining low-tech district, built up from within the society. Heikkiläs role in Turku is to offer a sustainable district with easy opportunities for livelihoods and the aim to prevent over consumption and social segregation. Heikkilä plan consists of different quartiers with distinctive typologies, which hold a function in providing for different ways of living that support the area’s self-dependency. The development is phased in order to take the full advantage of reuse and recycling of spaces and materials through out the development process. Heikkilä has an important role in interacting with the rest of the city of Turku to support the reuse culture in the whole region.

VISIONS FOR HELSINKI concept for public space

This proposal “South Harbor - Visions for Helsinki” was made for an anti-competition searching for alternatives to the controversial Guggenheim Helsinki project and interventions beyond the project site of Helsinki’s South Harbour and the function of a museum. South Harbour is a deserted site with a surplus value and the Guggenheim’s predominant scenario of applying a copy-pasted success model on the site in predetermined form seemed to be ignoring some specific potential of the existing qualities of this place; the purposelessness, emptiness and otherness making the place conceiver’s own, yet no-one’s property.

“collective

The competition entry consists of an essay that discusses these potentials of the site and of a proposal that builds on those thoughts, suggesting a co-creation approach of collectively developing ideas in a Vision Forum located in South Harbour in order to realize new meaningful cultural spaces throughout the whole city. The proposal seeks to take advantage of the site’s potential for collective urban development and introduces a strategy to produce structures for supporting and realizing the potential of the local scene of urban culture, arts, and activists, responsible and aware citizenship and spaces that generate social change through continuity of citizen engagement.

URBAN NEIGHBOURHOOD RE-IMAGINED

community-driven urbanism for futures of social urban resilience The master’s thesis is a research-based practical study discussing the particular topic of community-driven social resilience in urban planning through a strategic design proposal for a case study district in Berlin. Observations of rapid urban developments in my surroundings evoked an urge to comprehend the impact of a local action on the global scale, and conversely how global trends cause unexpected local consequences. During the research, the refugee crisis of 2015 in Europe escalated, highlighting the relevance of the topic. This thesis, therefore, focused on how unforeseen changes could be turned into positive outcomes. The research of this thesis consists of an extensive and critical literature review of the relevant concepts and a benchmarking of promising practices from Detroit and Christchurch. The main case study applies the findings of this research in the neighborhood of Moabit in Berlin by developing practical tools for a multi-scalar neighbourhood-driven approach. The goal was to find ways to build the neighborhood’s social resilience in face of possible local crisis scenarios with the aim to bridge the gap between top-down and bottom-up planning in reality. The process and methods are analyzed and generalized for further application in different contexts. “Urban neighbourhood reimagined” / Milja Hartikainen / 2016 / Masters Thesis / Aalto University / Department of Architecture Chair of Urban Design, prof.
