Of reminiscent ancient Greek style, this building is opposite to the Bank of Finland. Most famous is probably by its glorious façade, with its burgundy decorations, gilded columns and decorative tympanum. From 1891, when it was built, it housed the three commoner estates of the four estates of the realm of Finland. The estates were superseded at the 1906 parliamentary reform by the foundation of the unicameral parliament of Finland. The parliament settled elsewhere, leaving Säätytalo for secondary usage. Today the House of the Estates serves as a venue for meetings and official functions held by the Prime Minister's Office and other offices of the central government. It is also the established location for official coalition talks after general elections and for the sessions of High Court of Impeachment. In addition, the house is used by scientific and scholarly organizations for meetings. The building is owned by the Republic of Finland through Senate Properties. Senate Hall, Main Building, University of Helsinki University of Helsinki main building was completed in 1832. Located in the Senate Square, this empire-building was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel. The main building has historically been the University of Helsinki’s administrative and ceremonial centre. Today, most of the central government of the University maintains its activity in a neighbouring block in a new administration building, but in the main building still houses the Chancellor and the Rector's offices, and the rooms of the Senate Session Hall. The main building has a large banquet hall, which serves for academic year opening ceremony as well as for master and doctoral promotions. Halls inside are also used for concerts Today, most of the main building belongs to the Faculty of Arts and is dedicated for educational use. The Senate of the University (consistorium academicum), which was the highest governing body from 1640 to 2009, gathers in the Senate room (konsistori sali). The Grand Senate was composed of all university professors. From 1992 onwards, the university senate is so far largely a ceremonial body whose mission is to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and to maintain academic traditions.

The legacies of these builders and their buildings are also to be analysed. Specifically, this thesis does not aim to answer why Finland has classical architecture, but rather what it means for this young nation to have it, especially so in such significant abundance and considering that a great many of the nation’s most important buildings have been designed in this particular style.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the question of the extent to which the concept of a National Style dominated architectural production in Finland between 1890 and 1916. The thesis maintains that National Style ideas should be understood as one of a number of impulses emerging in Finnish architecture in the 1890s. This point is explored through analysis of the writings of the architect, journalist and Finnish nationalist Vilho Penttilä. His writings reveal that alongside the National Style he was also concerned with the general question of architectural reform in Finland. This thinking included new ideas on the role that materials, construction and new technology should play in shaping architectural design. Alongside this ran interest in the development of a new language of architectural ornament capable of expressing the character of the building and the society who used it.
