  • ALVAR AALTO & Finlandia HALL
    ALVAR AALTO & FinLAnDiA HALL ALVAR AALTO & FinlanDiA hall To be able to understand the architecture of Finlandia Hall, one must be familiar with the larger vision of Helsinki of which Finlandia Hall is only a part, a vision that may never fully materialize. At the beginning of the 19th century, Helsinki was granted the position of capital of the newly established Grand Duchy of Fin- land, and the architect Carl Ludvig Engel designed the monumen- tal central square, known today as the Senate Square, which is flanked by the Cathedral, Senate Palace and the University. Alvar Aalto was of the opinion that independent Finland should con- Alvar Aalto in the 1930’s, Photo: Heinonen, struct a central square of its own in the new centre of the city, Alvar Aalto -museum which is in the vicinity of the Parliament House, the building that symbolizes the status won in 1917. lt was a lucky coincidence that right in front of the Parliament there lay a large railway freight yard which was to be re-sited elsewhere; Aalto thought that this area would provide a unique opportunity for the realization of an idea, originally suggested by Eliel Saarinen in 1917, for the con- struction of a new traffic route called Freedom Avenue (Vapau- denkatu) from the northern suburbs right to the heart of the city. Aalto envisaged a large, fan-shaped square terraced on three levels the topmost point of which would be where the equestrian statue of Mannerheim now stands. The square would open towards Töölönlahti Bay, and on one side it would be flanked by a concert and congress hall and further on by an opera house, an art mu- seum, the city library and, possibly, other public buildings, which would be erected in the midst of the greenery of Hesperia Park.

  • Press Release 29.8.2018
    Press release, 29 August 2018 Facilities for new services at Finlandia Hall to be built during renovation Plans are in place for an audio-visual exhibition, design store, and a drink bar on the roof The renovation project of Finlandia Hall will begin in 2021 according to the preliminary schedule. The project means not only restoration of existing premises but also construction of a framework for new services. Plans for the renewed Finlandia Hall include, for instance, an audio-visual exhibition and a design store. The kitchen will be modernized so the restaurant can be of service during large events and conferences in the future. Restaurant operations will be developed so that people from far away arrive at Finlandia Hall for dinner. A drink bar on the rooftop terrace is planned as a main attraction. For the area around Töölönlahti Bay, there are plans for glamping-type activity that connects Finlandia Hall more closely to the surrounding park area. Finlandia Hall is the largest and best-known event and conference centre in Finland. The building’s turnover has doubled in six years, and Finlandia Hall Ltd’s operation is profitable. – Finlandia Hall is very important for Helsinki both as an architectural landmark and as a living conference centre, which enables the arrangement of diverse events in the capital city of Finland. This is why special care must be taken of the building. Every year Finlandia Hall welcomes more than 200,000 visitors. According to one study, they spend almost €50 million per year on various experiences, shopping and services in Helsinki, says Anni Sinnemäki, the Deputy Mayor for Urban Environment.
