Landscape architecture is about catching a fleeting moment of our environment and making it legible through design. These moments, over time, reveal a process that was hidden in plain sight. This portfolio showcases my design strategies to change perception and acknowledge process based design, with each of these projects at different scales.
While landscape architecture has taught me the value of all the qualities that go into shaping our space, my education in architecture backs that up with intricate working details. My strongest skills are that of design detailing and exploring representation through mixed media.
Every project in the following pages opens me up to diverse explorations and my passion for this unknown adventure is what I hope for even in the professional realm.
This document is a design project proposal for a landscape architecture student. It includes 4 chapters that outline the project. Chapter 1 introduces the objectives, site details, and SWOT analysis.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
