Finlandia Hall
Finlandia Hall is a concert hall with a congress wing in Helsinki, by Töölönlahti bay. It was designed by Alvar Aalto and completed in 1971. The main features of the building's exterior are the great horizontal mass of the building proper and the towering auditorium that rises above it. Notable also is the exterior cladding, done in Carrara marble. The relatively thin marble slabs tend to acquire curvature in the course of time and have needed to be replaced with great expense.
