Sight 1: Ecology Stone

Show sight on map

Ecology Stone is a public artwork designed by Akseli Leinonen above the entrance to the Tripla shopping centre, on Fredikanterassi in Central Pasila, Helsinki. The work won a two-stage design competition in spring 2017, which sought a permanent and site-specific work that would strengthen the character of Fredikanterassi as a meeting and entertaining place. It was hoped that the work would give the area an identity and offer new perspectives to the residents of the area and others moving around in Pasila. Ecology Stone was unveiled in October 2020.
