In a the middle of Helsinki we found this arrangement of art pieces involving a little brick building.
Ernst Billgren has described the idea behind his work: "In mountainous
countries, they have a tradition of building little houses at suitable
intervals where tired travellers can find safety and rest for a while.
The Kampintori square is like a valley in the large cityscape, and
'Meeting Places' helps people to find their orientation on a human
scale. Mountain cabins are cultural ambassadors to nature, and I like to
think of 'Meeting Places' as an ambassador of nature in the City of
Helsinki."
