Central Pasila Master plan with One Works Helsinki – 2003		The large railway yard which nowadays divides the two quarters of East and West Pasila will be taken away with the construction of the new harbour. The new master plan for this large infrastructural “valley” aims to respond to the importance of this area, a hinge between the periphery and the city center with the high public accessibility given by the existing station of Pasila. The existing bridge is transformed in a new urban environment connecting the two sides; on its south side, a cluster of glass towers creates a series of public spaces stepping down to the lower street and railway level, making the most of its geometrical constraints. On the north side, a new glass canopy shelters a series of commercial paths converging in a new enclosed square with a strong “inner city” feeling.		On the north of the square a new public axis organizes the residential quarter, screened from the new north-south road by a long crescent-like series of buildings bending out in correspondence of the large existing granite rock along Pasilankatu. Next to the existing Fair and the Sports Arena two new built “islands” organize the office and leisure functions adapting them to the complex land contours. The silhouette of this new city center acts as a backdrop for the long green “linear park” of Helsinki.
