Little Finland: Helsinki's new building supported by trees

Pikku-Finlandia (or Little Finland) is a temporary venue for major events in Finland's capital, Helsinki, while the city's famous Finlandia Hall is closed for renovations.

It is a reusable wooden building that features entire trees with protruding branches as part of the structure. Fully recyclable and transportable, it will be packed and transported to a new location for use as a school or kindergarten in 2024.

Pikku-Finlandia was designed by architecture students, one of whom, Jaakko Torvinen, showed us the building.
