See the View Helsinki Zoo Lookout Tower, Finland
The pavilion is located on a cliff-top site eighteen meters above sea level, with spectacular views of the sea and the city of Helsinki, the ten-meter tower is a delicately transparent landmark for Korkeasaari Island. The free form is inspired by its natural setting: it follows the existing low stone wall and skirts around a small birch grove. The load bearing grid shell structure consists of 72 glue lam battens, with timber sections of 60mmx60mm bent and twisted on site from seven preformed types. Over 600 bolted joints hold the shell structure together. The tower was a HUT Wood Studio project in 2000-2002 and Hara’s graduation project.
