Connection<br />

This project aimed to connect a natural area, the river<br />

Mätäjoki, with the urban space of Kannelmäki railway<br />

station. The sound of bird song was recorded and then<br />

played at the railway station from a designed object, the<br />

Cone. Hearing natural sounds in unexpected surroundings<br />

surprised and delighted passers by, sparking conversations<br />

between strangers. The intervention created a<br />

special atmosphere and a shared experience, reminding<br />

inhabitants about the natural areas of Kannelmäki.<br />
