@industrythotleader: Welcome to my Helsinki Architecture Essentials! First up: the Temppeliaukio Church, aka the Church of the Rock! Designed by brothers Timo & Tuomo Suomalainen in 1969, this Lutheran church is literally carved into raw granite. The exposed rock walls create mind-blowing acoustics. Watch how the natural light floods in through those unique concrete ribs and glass skylights, perfectly tuned for Helsinki's sun angle. Even the groundwater drainage is genius! From its unassuming brutalist exterior to its stunning, naturally lit interior, this is a must-see in Helsinki. #TemppeliaukioChurch #ChurchOfTheRock #Helsinki #HelsinkiArchitecture #FinnishArchitecture #NordicDesign #ModernArchitecture
I've sang at that church and let me tell you it's just as exhilarating for the singer as it is for the listener. Definitely a must-see when in Helsinki.

In my town we have this Hotel Mesikämmen which is also designed by Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen. It has lots of same elements than that church. Natural rock walls when you go to the lower levels.

Local here 🙋♀️my schools 2-6th grade and 7-9th grade was close by and we did go 2 time a year to this church (Christmas and Easter). I do recommend attending concert, of course it's also worth going during the day and seeing the church in all it beauty.
