"Thesis Walkthrough: REVIVE | Revitalizing an Abandoned Quarry" Excited to share a glimpse of my architecture thesis, where I explored the potential of transforming an abandoned quarry into a vibrant, sustainable community space. Through careful analysis and innovative design, I aimed to breathe new life into a forgotten landscape, balancing ecological restoration with community engagement. #Architecture #UrbanDesign #Sustainability #ThesisProject #DesignInnovation

Watch Malin Blomqvist’s Architecture Speaks! Online Lecture // Around 200 persons attended Malin Blomqvist’s online lecture last week ‘Landscape Architecture as a Generator for Sustainable City Development’. For a limited time, you can access a recording of the event. In her talk, Malin explores how landscape architecture architecture tackles critical global challenges, including declining biodiversity, climate change, and social crises. She also highlights MASU Planning’s design philosophy, which focuses on: ✅ Creating user-oriented and inclusive spaces ✅ Emphasizing robustness, flexibility, and quality ✅ Strengthening existing values ✅ Delivering inspirational and playful solutions The lecture features insights into several notable projects, such as: ☘️ H.C. Andersen’s House and Garden ☘️ Töölönlahti Park ☘️ Climate adaptation at Nattergalevej ☘️ The Gardens of Roskilde Sydvest ☘️ Aalto University Campus ☘️ Fingerplan 2.0 Watch the lecture here: https://shorturl.at/g5t2n This event is part of the Architecture Speaks! series, jointly organized by Aalto University and the Arkkitehtuuri- ja designmuseo, curated by Associate Professor Jenni Reuter. #ArchitectureSpeaks #MASUPlanning #landscapearchitecture #urbandesign #Aaltouniversity #landscape

What if ancient civilizations held the secret to modern sustainable architecture? Ancient Egyptians were truly pioneers in sustainability, using locally sourced materials like mudbrick and limestone to build their homes, temples, and monuments. Mudbricks were made from clay and straw, abundant resources that didn’t require long-distance transport. Meanwhile, limestone, used in structures like the pyramids, was a durable and resilient material that stood the test of time. By relying on local resources, they minimized environmental impact while creating long-lasting, sustainable architecture. How can we use local materials to reduce carbon emissions and boost sustainability? #Sustainability #SustainableArchitecture #GreenBuilding #AncientEgypt #Materials #LocalMaterials #Construction #ArchitectureHistory #Durability #Architecture
