Diagramming Landscape

Landscape design of the Low2No block is underway with Berlin-based Sinai and Sauerbruch Hutton. 

Rather than show their early proposals, posted below are a series of diagrams that attempt to situate native elements of the Finnish landscape on our site. The process (layering images on sketches) is straightforward, but the results are not. Careful manipulation of the image scale opens possibilities for landscape to communicate intent as much as say, building integrated renewables. Landscape will help to position the project in the public's imagination; a piece of the city with distinctly Finnish DNA, but adapted to a new century where performance vies with aesthetics and geometry for top billing.
