Finlandia Forest was a competition proposal for Pikku-Finlandia, a temporary event facility in Helsinki's Töölönlahti. The concept was inspired by a Finnish coniferous forest, where there are long views through the trees. The main idea was to use whole trees with their branches intact as load-bearing pillars and at the same time utilize their organic shapes to create a forest-like atmosphere in the building. This way, nature's own design is utilized and thus processing is reduced.
