Exploring Arctic housing and village planning based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs
This article examines northern communities undergoing environmental and cultural change that might affect communal identity, well-being and cultural viability. Many Arctic communities are vulnerable to climate change impacts. In some areas, the changes are fast, and some villages have even faced the need to relocate or change their village structure. Village planning has focused on practical issues such as energy efficiency, infrastructure, const…
Challenges of participatory design in apartment buildings’ renovation projects in Finland
Participatory and user-centered design has taken inspiration from each other, and the classical roles of users, researchers, and designers have merged in the co-designing process. Participatory methods consider the balance of power between the designer and residents and the needs and usefulness of the research. Community members should be involved as partners, advisors, and participants. In Finland, participatory design is law mandated in urban p…
The Sámi cultural landscape as the scene of collective memory and identity — challenges in preserving
The cultural landscape carries symbolic values or at least narratives that inspire experiences and create identities. Landscape is not just what we see but also how we see it: we use our eyes but interpret with our minds and ascribe values to the landscape for intangible reasons. Heritage protection seeks to save cultural values. In the northernmost part of Europe there are strong non-visible local elements of the Sámi landscape, but they are not…

This article takes up the topic of cultural borrowings as well as the relationship between the designer and the features of the local culture - specifically, the Sámilavvutheme. In this article, some attempts will be pr…
Finnish Planning and Housing Models Molding Skolt Culture in the 20th Century
Housing architecture can be regarded as both a product of culture and a medium that can influence change in a society. The relationship between identity and identification can be a source of conflict between architects, planners, and designers and those who must live with the designs. The Skolt Sámi have traditionally lived in the borderland area between Finland, Russia, and Norway. Some Skolt villages were remote from the interests of authoritie…
