Dipoli, Convention center in Otaniemi, Finland
The structure integrates into the surrounding forest through cliff-like eaves, copper cladding, wood surfaces, and massive boulder walls extending across its exterior.
Constructed in 1966 as the Student Union building for Helsinki University of Technology, Dipoli transformed into Aalto University's main building following renovations in 2017.
The building represents organic architecture through its natural materials, irregular shapes, and integration with the landscape, designed by architects Raili and Reima Pietilä.
The facility contains over twenty conference rooms and auditoriums, with sliding walls allowing flexible space combinations for various events and gatherings.
Among the 500 windows installed in Dipoli, only four share identical dimensions, reflecting the structure's commitment to organic architectural principles.
