Finlandia House by Alvar Aaltoin Helsinki

Unfortunately the building was closed so only exterior photographs. It is a striking building especially against the show, as the form and color brings images of snow and ice to mind.

Not meaning to be overly critical but the building seems a bit dated, and tacky. There are some lovely interior details especially the sliding doors.
