Block party<br />
The objective of the project Repicturing Kannelmäki<br />
was to uncover the identity of Kannelmäki and address<br />
ways to improve its profile and increase social <strong>wellbeing</strong>.<br />
Local culture and the arts were utilised to deliver<br />
beneficial intergenerational interactions and revitalisation<br />
models into the everyday life of the suburb. Students<br />
developed ideas with locals in a real-life context<br />
through design interventions. One of the ideas was a<br />
block party that was organised in the middle of Kannelmäki<br />
in Sitratori square. The party was realised in<br />
collaboration with local actors and associations as a<br />
way to demonstrate how the area could be improved<br />
by utilising existing resources rather than creating<br />
something completely new.<br />
