In the heart of Helsinki, the role of Maria 01 is to become the biggest, most influential, and progressive hub in the Nordics. During the development project, CHAOS’ extensive insights and expertise in engagement and participation will be the basis for community building and bottom-up approach in this development. Our service will collect, manage, and analyse data on human intelligence: demographics, urban creative ideas, and how people relate to urban forms.
‍
By having developed an advanced  customer interface with a lean and interactive design that accumulates and visualises data, the project will be supported by data-driven insights for sustainable decision-making. The adoption of CHAOS’ technology will innovate current architectural and participatory practices, and contribute to time efficiency by replacing manual reporting.

“The development of Maria’s area is a very important project in Helsinki. It does not only seek to serve the more than 100 startups already in it, but also builds the city’s startup ecosystem as a driver for economic development,” says Natalia Rincón, CEO of CHAOS.
