Wood Architecture Park

Near the Sibelius Hall in Lahti a unique wood architecture park is being built, a park which consists of works by award winners of the Spirit of Nature Wood Architecture Award or of works designed in their honour.

The project has importance both nationally and internationally since the works of major architects are put together in a small area. The project is being carried out jointly by the City of Lahti and the Wood in Culture Association.

A light installation, designed by Kengo Kuma of Japan, the award winner in 2002 (to be completed in the year of 2005).

Work of art designed by Richard Leplastrier, of Australia who was the award winner in 2004 (to be completed 2005-2006).
