The Finland Pavilion finds middle ground between high-tech, peace and quietness.
Themed "Well-being, Competence and Environment", the Finland Pavilion encourages an exchange of views and interaction among visitors by displaying advanced technologies and interactive activities.
"Like a good society or a better city, it is not some individual or particular parts, but rather the whole function and experience that makes the visit to the Finland Pavilion memorable," said Mikko Puustinen, deputy commissioner-general of the Finland Pavilion.
Nicknamed "Kirnu", or "giant's kettle", the pavilion rises from a surrounding lake. The architecture was inspired from Finnish nature and includes the shape of small rocks found on coastal islands, the figure of a fish, reflections on water and a framed view of the sky.
Along the pavilion's structural wall, there are exhibitions of typical Finnish homes, displaying a better city model for everyone. The inner area of the exhibition space features huge screens with fantasy-like presentations.
