The reshaped Marina should become an inseparable part of the city with sufficient
living and a vibrant living room for the yachters and city dwellers. The Finnoo
Marina City will be the seaside centre for Finnoo with a distinctive character.
The Finnoo Marina City should become a neighbourhood with emphasise on walking
and biking and which is a vital part of the public foot and bicycle path following
the shoreline of Espoo (rantaraitti). The aim for the whole Finnoo area is to
make it a sustainable and carbon neutral district, which should be visible in
Finnoo Marina City.
The competition seeks ways to connect the Marina City in to the Metro Centre
north from the competition area and to the Fortum power plant next to the competition
site. The aim is to study how a massive power plant structure can be taken into
account as part of the land- and cityscape.
The competition is open to all citizens under the European Union Acquisition
Laws. It is desirable for the entrants to form design groups with a varied composition
of experts in the fields of land use and architecture, landscape architecture

to practise as an Architect or Landscape Architect in their own country.
