In 1962 the Helsinki city authorities commissioned Aalto to design a concert and congress building as the first part of his great centre plan. The Finlandia Hall was completed nine years later. Even the earliest plans show the main characteristics of the final solution. One of the most conspicuous alterations involved the chamber music room, originally intended to soar like the main auditorium above the main building mass.

Excellent city get away, you can take a 20 min boat ride there for couple of euros. Great place for swimming. Other side of the island is a beach and south side is more rocky. There is also a nude beach if you prefer less tanlines.
