In this lecture Anssi Lassila will focus on presenting some of the most recent work of OOPEAA, the Periscope Tower and the Suvela Chapel, both just in the final stages of construction right now.

Anssi Lassila has extensive experience in working with wood in architecture. In his approach he emphasizes the potential embedded in exploring new methods and techniques as a means of developing new solutions in building. In his work he puts a particular emphasis on creating architecture in a human scale. The interaction between the building and its surrounding context is of special importance to him.
