EnglishHow to Access Esa Ruskeepää's Papers, Competition Boards, and Event Links
Updated
Esa Ruskeepää's site, era.fi, works as a dated news feed rather than a document library. Papers, competition boards, and event links appear inside individual news entries, and each entry carries the date it was posted. To reach a specific item, scan the feed for the entry that mentions it, then use the link or download prompt inside that entry. There is no separate downloads page or archive index described on the site, so the feed itself is the access point.
What the site actually publishes
The homepage presents a running list of short announcements. Each one combines a date, a description of the activity, and — where available — an outbound link or a download prompt.
| Type of item | How it appears | Example from the site |
|---|---|---|
| Papers | Announced with a title and a download prompt | "Money's Worth," presented at the 6th Alvar Aalto Researchers' Network Seminar; download link points to alvaraalto.fi |
| Competition boards | Announced with a download prompt | Proposal for a new museum of architecture and design in Helsinki — "Download the competition boards" |
| Event links | Announced with an outbound link | BTCHEL, the Nordic Bitcoin conference in Helsinki — link to btchel.com |
| Project news | Described in text, no download | Supercell headquarters competition, where Ruskeepää advises and serves as jury secretary; Porvoo zoning study for a regional health centre |
Steps to find a specific item
- Open era.fi and read the feed from the top down. Entries are ordered with the most recent announcements first, and each begins with a date.
- Match the entry to what you need — a paper title, a competition, or an event name.
- Follow the link or download prompt inside that entry. Papers and competition boards use a download prompt; events use an outbound link to the organizer's site.
- If the item you want is older than what is currently visible, check whether the feed continues further down the page before assuming it is unavailable.
Expected result: you land on the external host (for example alvaraalto.fi for the paper, or btchel.com for the conference) or you receive the file directly from the download prompt.
Dates matter here
The feed mixes past and future items, and the dates are the only signal that distinguishes them. For example, a talk titled "Your Time Is Being Stolen" at BTCHEL is dated 18 September 2026 for a conference on 25–26 September 2026, while a keynote titled "How Fiat Ruins Architecture (and Everything Else)" at BTCHEL is dated 25 July 2025 for a conference on 15–16 August 2025. Read the announcement date and the event date together before you act — an entry near the top of the feed may describe something that has not happened yet.
Common snags
- No central index. Because items live inside news entries, there is no single page listing all papers or all competition boards. You have to read the feed.
- Links leave the site. Downloads and event pages are hosted elsewhere, so the file or registration page is controlled by the external host, not by era.fi.
- Some entries have no link. Project news such as the Supercell competition or the Porvoo zoning study is described in text only, with no download or outbound link attached.
- Titles are the search key. If you are looking for a specific paper, search for its title ("Money's Worth") rather than for a category, since the site does not group items by type.
Following updates
New talks, seminars, and competitions are announced as dated entries, so returning to the feed is how you catch additions. The site does not describe a newsletter, RSS feed, or notification system, so checking the page directly is the reliable method.
