Kylän portti, Concrete sculpture in Viiskulma Square, Lahti, Finland

The Kylän portti sculpture stands six meters tall, weighs over 50 tons, and features six prefabricated elements with a reddish-brown surface finish.

The installation emerged as the winner of the City of Lahti's art competition in 2020 and was erected in May 2021 to guide visitors to Malva Museum.

The sculpture represents the connection between urban landscapes and nature, functioning as a gateway that marks the entrance to the cultural district.

The structure incorporates recycled concrete materials and demonstrates sustainable construction methods through its innovative molding and production techniques.

The pillars of the sculpture display an intentionally aged appearance through specialized surface treatments and asymmetrical arch designs.
