THE BUILDING // Extensions from different decades create a layered entity with different architectural styles and spatial design. As the health care services are now moving elsewhere, the future of these buildings is very open. Two weeks left to apply to the 26th IFHP Urban Planning and Design Summer School! The theme of the course is Rethinking Urban Change. Who has the right to design the city? How to create positive change in ecologically and socially sustainable way? THE BUILDING // The oldest part of the hospital building on site was designed by C.L. Engel and had its inauguration in 1844. The sidebuildings were heighten to two storeys in the 1880's, and the main building had its first extention in 1929.  THE SITE // The site in focus is located between the railway station and the city centre of Hämeenlinna. Although the actual distance is only 1 km, the bay in between make them feel distant. Hence, the site has a crucial role in better linking the two. Still one month to apply the 26th edition of the IFHP Urban Planning and Design Summer School! Organised since 1994, it is one of the oldest summer courses in the field of urban planning and design. This summer the theme is Rethinking Urban Change.
