Pikku Finlandia: Helsinkis new building held up by trees
PikkuFinlandia (or Little Finlandia) is a temporary venue hosting large events in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, while the citys iconic Finlandia Hall is closed for refurbishment. Its a reusable wooden building that includes whole trees with protruding branches as part of the structure. Fully recyclable and transportable, it will be packed up and taken to a new location to be used as a school or a nursery in 2024. PikkuFinlandia was designed by architecture students, one of whom Jaakko Torvinen has given us a tour of the building.
