Beginning

We were discussing today with Sanna about some of our ideas or plans.

We were thinking that it could be nice to collaborate with a piece together.. we are not sure yet how we could make this work in Espoo keskus but we've been going through the photos that I took today and we do have some ideas and themes to work with.

Our ideas are related to peoples opinions about the place, also what we read from the Espoo keskus webpage http://www.espoonkeskus.fi. It's also interesting that people are coming from different backgrounds and maybe have different point of view. We agreed that we don't want to go too heavy with the themes. Positive point of view..?

We also discussed that Espoo keskus is under commercial influence. It is a passage way for a lot people, we were discussing how this affects to places in general, is it negative or positive thing?

There's a nice documentary about shopping malls in yle areena, it's worth of checking out;

  1. wow thanks for putting the link. i haven't watched the whole thing, but even in the beginning section they bring up so many interesting points. it reminded me of when i worked at a mall for a few months when i was eighteen. before the stores opened there were always a few old people using the mall like a track. in a way, the mall was also a sports centre.
