Korkeasaari Island Lookout Tower Helsinki Tower

This tower is very different since it has amazing design. It looks like a cage that is very huge. This building also has natural concept as the main design. The free form of the winning entry was motivated by the natural setting; it follows the surrounding stone wall and skirts around a group of birches. The stone can make this building tougher. The tower was erected by an international group of eight students of architecture. The hot, sunny summer dried up the timber, and the duct pipes that were used for steaming proved useful. The tower can stand for long period. It can be said that this building is long lasting. The site is eighteen meters above the sea level and the tower is very visible in the Helsinki sea line. A wonderful view of the sea and the city centre opens up from the ten-meter-high two-storey tower. The tower looks so beautiful from the far and near. Curvilinear forms are also closer to the human physique than rectilinear, which is why people experience organic forms as humane. The tower also has good base and good materials that make it tough.
