Introduction
Aviapolis is Finland's gateway to the world. By 2020, the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport Air Transportation Hub will have 20 million passengers. The airport hub will bring rich cultural exchanges to Vantaa and become the core of the integration of local lifestyles and international trends. At the same time, the consequence of this richness is that the large amount of garbage generated by airport air traffic will pose a threat to the local environment. Designers developed a design for the first phase of Aviapolis to enhance regional cultural and lifestyle communication while addressing environmental issues through innovative recycling and collection systems. In a place where the world meets Finland, a vibrant and flexible new city will rise.

Details
The first phase developed a pilot project and emphasized community and cyclicality. By building a conservation-oriented community to connect the world and unite with local residents, Aviapolis will become the flagship project for the circular economy and shared systems vision. The system will be supported by a series of shared space structures that are spread across the block and the public domain of the entire city to form a network of integrated social pocket spaces that support the city's diverse functions and scale of activities. The largest collective space shapes the local neighborhood center and is linked to the project economy cycle. Through the combination of strategic public function insertion and regeneration cycle system, the core function building and the surrounding landscape combine the urban texture on both sides of the base. These circulatory systems leverage the existing potential of the site to maximize the value of functional landscapes such as rainwater seepage, wastewater reuse and filtration, biodiversity growth, CO2 storage capacity, smart energy production, waste management cycles and local small-scale production.

As a continuation of the local context, there will be a highly dense urban grid system. The design structure divides the large-scale plane space into more detailed, human-scale and pedestrian-friendly urban blocks. In the conflict zone of the grid direction, the existing vegetation and water bodies retained will form an attractive central park, creating the most important social space for the community. Within the urban grid, by changing the block structure, creating social public spaces, priority walking, cycling and public transport modes. These social public spaces, as "social atoms" in the city, together create a network of buildings and spaces.
The neighborhood encourages diversity to combine the height, type, configuration and function of the building to create a residential community that is textured and free to choose a lifestyle. High-rise buildings will provide a beautiful view of the city, while low-rise buildings will have a perfect private garden. The neighborhood will provide residents with a range of collective spaces of varying scales – from residential to block, from street to community. The ratio of blocks to spaces will ensure a flexible distribution of city functions, allowing space to evolve and move over time. The neighborhood will provide maximum urban diversity, promote and support a wider range of sustainable hobbies and lifestyles.
Conclusions
Community, circulation and diversity make urban blocks more resilient and dynamic.
