very nice! I have lived in Pihlajamäki and I do love WeeGee building (I am a fan of the style for some unknown reason).

@tkoola yup WeeGee is great and I am a big fan of Dipoli too. An old colleague lives in Pihlajamäki and she loved it and was very proud of it. Brutalism does seem be a love/hate sort of taste.

Interesting building the WeeGee. The pylons, were they used only for structural integrity, do you know?

@odd I posted in more detail about the Weegee here. The main pylons are hollow and they were used at first as ventilation ducts. That meant in theory that each bay with a tree pylon on the center was not only its own structural unit but also own ventilated unit also. Nowadays with the use change I am not sure what that space is used for.
