Active Trajectories
Active Trajectories reimagines the Sport Center as a dynamic hub that weaves together Sport, Nature, and Culture. At the heart of our proposal lies a 1.8 km linear active park, a North–South axis that connects the Sport Center with Lake Vesijärvi and the future Railway Park. This is complemented by an East–West axis linking the city center to Salpausselkä Geopark, anchored by a new “ring gate” that marks the intersection of movement, identity, and experiences.
Our vision prioritizes pedestrians and introduces a social and ecological infrastructure, celebrating Finnish identity through biodiversity, human-scale design, and shared public space. With flexible programming for all seasons and ages the project fosters wellbeing, active lifestyles, and coexistence between people and nature.
