Helsinki calls for proposals to transform Makasiiniranta port into cultural precinct The city of Helsinki has launched a competition to create a new waterfront cultural and leisure district on the South Harbour, which will include a design and architecture museum complex. The Makasiiniranta area is the last remaining section of old harbour cut off from public use and is currently home to terminals and parking. Top: the design will be built on an 83,000-square-metre site.

That’s 270 cities around the world that become packed full of international art goers, armed with a cascade of tote bags, piles of printed exhibition material, and ever-increasing flight miles. It’s not hard to imagine the environmental toll these internationally sprawling shows can take. Artists have embraced the topic of climate change for decades, with museums and galleries often exploring this theme in their exhibition programs too, but putting this urgent topic into real motion beyond the conceptual can be daunting. Yet with the tools now available to allow organizations to track and improve their carbon footprint, the art world can and must begin to tackle its own excesses.

Majamaja is an off-grid seaside cabin near Helsinki Architect Pekka Littow has used Finnish spruce and birch plywood for off-grid holiday home Majamaja, which is perched on a rocky outcrop by the sea just outside of Helsinki. Majamaja will eventually be a cluster of five cabins, one of which has already been completed, and a sauna that will be available for eco-friendly overnight stays. The cabin has its own solar panels Made from black painted native spruce, the cabin operates off the main electricity grid, with solar panels on the roof to provide electricity. The simple gabled cabin is accessed by a narrow wooden deck that forms a bridge over the rocks between the end of the forest and the door.
