Finnish Buildings : Information + Photos

Key Developments in Finland, Europe

We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Finnish Architecture. We aim to include projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We have 2 pages of Finnish Architecture selections with links to many individual project pages. This page lists key recent buildings with images, then historically important projects. The second page (linked below in bold) lists all buildings alphabetically.

We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and competitions across Finland.
