DESIGNING A FINNISH LOG CONSTRUCTION MUSEUM ON SEURASAARI ISLAND

The site was deliberately designated as the inside of the island. I have developed a strategy for visitors to the island to come to my site after freely viewing the museum. If visitors come to this area after comprehensively viewing the traditional architecture of each Finnish province, they will be able to experience the Finnish log construction museum.

The site offers views of the Seurasaari Open-Air Museum, the Seurasaaenselka waterfront rail and its main facilities across the island. Furthermore, it is fascinating that both forest and ocean views can be seen simultaneously.

This project is to propose a museum using Finnish wood. I planned to design the project using the location and type of trees within the site area, so I walked around and researched it myself. Interestingly, there were various types of hardwood and softwood, with an overwhelming number of pine trees and spruce.
