Finlandia

Dan Hill visits Finlandia and finds a couple of intriguing ‘benign errors’ on the building. Firstly, that the subtle bowing of the marble panels on the facade is in fact a defect resulting from the extreme weather differential in Helsinki, a ‘mistake’ that the building is all the better for. And secondly, that seen across Lake Töölönlahti from a certain position, Finlandia morphs into the tower of a distant museum forming a odd hybrid of the two, that seems strangely purposeful.
