For a really long time Finland hasn't had that many tall buildings. The tallest hotel building (Hotel Torni) in Finland was built and finished in Tampere in 2014 with a height of 88,5 meters and 25 floors.
This building, called Luminary, was finished this year and it reaches to 70,5 meters and 21 floors.
Tall buildings are rare in Finland and it feels like we're not as advanced as other coutries, considering that most (if not all) other Nordic countries have already broken the 100 meter mark with high-rise residential buildings. One reason for this could be that Finland is really sparsely populated and there's no need to build dense living accommodations. The pressure to build city centers is strong though, so more and more high-rise buildings are being built and planned.
We'll probably break our 100 meter mark with a set of 9 planned high-rise buildings in Pasila, Helsinki. The tallest of them will be 180 meters. I'll make sure to visit when they're done. No rush yet though, because construction is set to only begin next year.

Detail of ground level of Keeling House, a modernist apartment block in Bethnal Green, East London. Designed by Denys Lasdun and completed in 1957.
Following my previous post this picture continues along my line of trying to push the strict tenants of the New Topographics movement to maintain objectivity, but add vitality.
And just douse it with natural color.
A deliberately planned photo made to appear casually executed.
I photographed the Torre Velasca from the roof of the Duomo di Milano on a grey morning, with soft light filtering through the overcast sky. The image isolates the tower in color against a black-and-white cityscape, emphasizing its cantilevered top and angled supports. From this elevated vantage point, the contrast between postwar modernism and Milan’s historic architecture becomes even more pronounced.
The new performing art center @ Ground Zero on the right
"The Perelman Performing Arts Center, known during construction as the Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center at the World Trade Center (PACWTC), is a multi-space performing arts center under construction at the northeast corner of the World Trade Center complex in Manhattan, New York City. The Performing Arts Center is located at the intersection of Vesey, Fulton, and Greenwich Streets in Lower Manhattan. The building is named for billionaire Ronald Perelman, who donated $75 million to its construction."

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Wilhelminapier, Fotomuseum (slightly cut from all sides)
The top of a side facade of the Nederlands Fotomuseum is shown here. The Dutch Photomuseum is in the former ‘Las Palmas’ veem (harbour storage facility), designed in 1952 by Rotterdam functionalist / modernist architects pur sang Van den Broek & Bakema. It’s a typical and famous example of the ’Nieuwe Bouwen’. The 2009 renovation (preparing it for its museal role) was designed by Benthem Crouwel.
This is number 994 of Minimalism / explicit Graphism and 279 of Rotterdam Harbour & Industry
SU42-510 hauls out half of the empty ZSSKC wagons from Nabrzeże Polskie. The wagons would later be shunted to the other side of the embankment for loadup with coal.
The building in the background is a large cooler storage, built in 1930, which (at the time of its construction) used to be one of the largest cooler storages in Europe. The builing was expanded by a few stories between 1930 and 1934. It was used for storing meats from import and for export - anything from fish to bacon. It also used to have a direct rail connection (with large doors and tracks leading inside).
