Landscape Office (Maisemakonttori): 8am–6pm, Corner of Erottajankatu and Bulevardi
A design office known for its urban fabrics, Fokus Fabrik moves its base for one day to the corner of Erottajankatu and Bulevardi. The venue of the day depicts the core of the Fokus Fabrik's design philosophy - the merging of the city landscape and nature in the urban space. The hectic cross of Erottajankatu and Bulevardi and the neighbouring Esplanadi park form a visually interesting milieu, in which the built city and people with their daily routes create a unique and constantly changing atmosphere to the city. During the work day the designers of Fokus Fabrik visualise the existing city space by using their own prints. Asphalt might be patterned with fresh leaves or trams coloured to tone with rails. The urban spaces have been photographed in this moment and the proposals for a more colourful city space are displayed as pictures in the Landscape Office as well as on the Fokus Fabrik website. more...
