White oil silo surrounded by nature and water. Its walls are perforated with 2012 holes.
Tuomas Uusheimo

Extract from the Finnish Architecture Biennial Review 2014 jury report:

“The silo wall is perforated with 2,012 holes as a reference to Helsinki’s year as World Design Capital. The LED light points are programmed by using data such as wind speed and wind direction. Beautiful and innovative as a visual spectacle, this light design also shines a poetic ray of light on Finnish industrial history.”
